“THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all for coming. My message to the Cabinet this morning is this: This administration is not going to rest until every life can be saved; until families are reconnected; until this recovery is complete. Our goals — our immediate goals are these: We want to complete the search and recovery; we want to restore essential services; we want to drain the water in the affected areas and begin removing debris; we want to — and all are assessing public health and safety matters.”

Now how great would it have been if he’d ended that soliloquy with: “Message: I Care.”?
