The New York Times > Opinion > Editorial: Are We Stingy? Yes: "resident Bush finally roused himself yesterday from his vacation in Crawford, Tex., to telephone his sympathy to the leaders of India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia, and to speak publicly about the devastation of Sunday's tsunamis in Asia"

It occurred to me that this delay is a parallel to the Presidents 7 minutes in front on children on 9/11/01.
