Bush On The Minnesota Bridge Collapse

President Bush had this to say after examining the I35W collapsed bridge a couple of days ago:

"I do promise she's [Transportation Secretary Mary Peters] going to listen to the local authorities to find out what the folks here need," Bush said. "I do promise that when she sees roadblocks and hurdles in the way of getting the job done, she'll do everything she can to eliminate them."

Shortly thereafter, Peters was seen whispering into Bush's ear. Bush then immediately announced that he was laying off 6,500 border guards.
