NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush,
on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said
today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and
evacuated, "This is working very well for them."
The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National
Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.
She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that
included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were
chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts
for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the
Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I've talked to says
we're going to move to Houston."
Then she added: "What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is they all
want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were
underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is
working very well for them."
