 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush offered condolences to victims of violent storms and tornadoes that roared through several Southern states and said he would visit stricken areas on Saturday "with a heavy heart."
Bush told reporters at the White House Friday that he had spoken to Alabama Gov. Bob Riley on Thursday afternoon and Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue on Friday morning.
He said he told the governors he wanted to express "my personal condolences as well as the condolences of the nation for those who lost their lives in the recent tragedies in those two states."
