Bush might not make same mistake twice
If there's one thing George W. Bush has shown Americans time and again during his nearly eight years as president, it's that he's a man who's willing and able to learn from his mistakes. So it probably comes as no surprise that Fox News is reporting that within the White House there "are conversations under way" to decide whether President Bush will actually speak at the Republican convention on Monday as scheduled.
Forecasters expect tropical storm Gustav to develop into a hurricane by Monday, when it may reach New Orleans. Vice President Dick Cheney is also scheduled to speak at the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn., the same day.
As Fox's Bret Baier says in the video below, the "administration is obviously very sensitive to this."
