ALEX CHADWICK, host: From NPR West, this is DAY TO DAY.  I'm Alex Chadwick.</s>ALEX CHADWICK, host: President Bush is touring the stricken Gulf Coast region today where      millions of Americans are suffering, hundreds of thousands are without      homes, and probably thousands have died from Hurricane Katrina and the      botched preparedness for it.  As you will hear in today's show, many in      the region are blaming the federal government for not helping enough.      President Bush seemed aware of that when he spoke earlier in Mobile,      Alabama.</s>ALEX CHADWICK, host: President GEORGE W. BUSH:  Where it's not working right, we're going to      make it right.  Where it is working right, we're going to duplicate it      elsewhere. Now we have a responsibility at the federal level to help save      lives, and that's the primary focus right now.
Alex Chadwick offers listeners the latest news on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, including President Bush's remarks about the relief effort and his tour of the afflicted region. The president flew to Biloxi, Miss., Friday morning and is expected to reach New Orleans later in the day.
