NEW ORLEANS (AP) - President Bush will spend two days on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in New Orleans next week to commemorate the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Bush will be in Mississippi on Monday to have lunch with community leaders,

walk through a neighborhood,

and deliver a speech on the rebuilding effort,

before traveling to New Orleans, where he was scheduled to have dinner with state and local official and spend the night.

On Tuesday, Bush is scheduled to attend a service of prayer and remembrance in New Orleans and conduct a round-table discussion of an effort headed by first lady Laura Bush to restock Gulf Coast libraries.

5. Another phoney photo op by *

"I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world." Stephen Colbert, White House Correspondent's Dinner, 2006
