Cali Wildfires: Bush reassuring people by telling them he's there to reassure them

Today, Thursday, Bush will at the scene of the California wildfires. This is such a familiar scene that I thought I'd reprise Jon Stewart's observation about the meta-president:

Some leaders are men of words; others are men of action. President Bush is a man who uses words to describe actions...The President is not there to take action, apparently the reason he's there is to tell you why he's there...It is the classic President Bush move: reassuring people by informing them he was there to reassure them...He's the meta-president.
