John McCain's campaign is to separate himself from the current Administration -- and to cast himself as an agent of "change" -- then the hurricane gave them an unexpected "out".  Prior to the hurricane, it would have been hard to imagine a scenario where McCain could have avoided a Bush speech -- but that opportunity fell into his lap.  And now, Bush is going out of his way to deliver a video speech?

This strikes me as poor strategy.  Regardless of how you and I feel about him, the bottom line is that the president is (fairly or not) extremely unpopular right now.
