'A significant difference'

President Bush, appearing at an Escondido park after touring Southern California fire damage, lavished praise on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and couldn't resist what sounded like a back-handed slap at the leadership in Louisiana after Katrina.

"I appreciate the leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger," Bush said. "I said earlier when we were at the neighborhood, there's no hill he's not willing to charge, no problem he's not willing to solve. And we've got a problem out here, and I appreciate his leadership. It makes a significant difference when you have somebody in the statehouse willing to take the lead."
