White House and Kansas clash over tornado response
The Bush administration and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius argued Tuesday over the federal response to a devastating Friday tornado. By midday both sides backed down as President Bush planned a visit to Greensburg to view the destruction. Sebelius cited National Guard deployments in Iraq as hampering disaster response and noted borrowing limits were exhausted. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow defended the steps and urged timely requests for aid.
