Bush comment raises eyebrows

Bush comment raises eyebrows: "Barbara Bush, who accompanied the former presidents on a tour of the Astrodome complex on Monday, said the relocation to Houston was "working very well" for some of the poor people forced out of New Orleans.

She said: "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 is working very well for them."

Her comments came as the two former presidents visited with hundreds of the 23 600 hurricane refugees and announced the creation of the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund. "
