Bush arrived in the besieged river city Sunday aboard the USS Iwo Jima -- the command center for federal relief efforts. (Watch video on Bush\'s return to the coast -- 1:37)
The president was welcomed by Mayor Ray Nagin, military operations chief Lt. Gen. Russel Honore and Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, the new head of the federal relief effort. (Allen profile)
Allen replaced Michael Brown, the embattled director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who was called back to Washington on Friday.
Bush also is expected to travel Monday to Gulfport, Mississippi, one of the state\'s hardest hit cities. Katrina slammed ashore the Louisiana coast east of New Orleans on August 29 with 140 mph winds and a 20-foot storm surge.
The visit is the president\'s third to the region since the disaster.
Two days after the storm hit, Bush surveyed Katrina\'s destruction from Air Force One on his way back to Washington from Crawford, Texas, where he had spent a month\'s vacation. He visited other parts of the region in two subsequent visits.

Correct me if I\'m wrong, Bush was on vacation(Surprise?) WHILE THE HURRICANE HIT?
For the record, all of you are full of it. I\'m damn sure that if NO was to be full of white middle-class or even middle-class alone, something would of been done about it.
Uh-oh, here come the ad hominem attacks!
