VILONIA, Ark. (AP) - Surveying the remnants of nature's destructive
power in the country's midsection, President Barack Obama pledged
Wednesday to residents of tornado-ravaged Arkansas communities that
their government will stand with them until they finish rebuilding.
Obama said he wanted to visit this small city about a half-hour north of Little Rock to make sure those grieving the loss of loved ones, their homes and treasured possessions know that they will not be forgotten.
"I'm here to make sure that they know and that everybody who's been affected knows that the federal government's going to be right here until we get these communities rebuilt," Obama said after walking through a subdivision in which just six of its 56 homes had any part still standing after storms tore across the state on April 27, killing 15 people.
