President Bush on Wednesday said, "I told Rockey the first obligation of the federal government is to write a check big enough to help the people down there. ... Rockey lost everything. He lost -- he and his family had every possession they had wiped out. And it's a time to remember that people suffer, and it's a time to recommit ourselves to helping them." 
President Bush on Monday said, "America is making a long-term commitment to help the people of Lebanon because we believe every person deserves to live in a free, open society that respects the rights of all. We reject the killing of innocents to achieve a radical and violent agenda." 
President Bush on Friday said, "The foundation of our economy is solid, and it's strong. ... All of us here are confident about the future of this country. Over the past five years, our economy has faced unprecedented challenges from recession to corporate scandal to terrorist attack to natural disasters. And through it all, our free-enterprise system has proved to be the most resilient and responsive in the world." 
President George W. Bush smiles as he stands with Rockey Vaccarella during a statement to the media Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2006, on the White House lawn. Vaccarella, who lost his home in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and who drove to Washington D.C. to speak directly to the President, told reporters, "I just don't want the government and President Bush to forget about us," adding, "If we had this President for another four years, I think we'd be great."
