According to what I see, this thread was started at 3:19pm Mountain Time.
However, the AP filed a story three hours earlier detailing the Friday morning phone conversation between President Bush and Floyd Jourdain Jr., chairman of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa.

Gifts of money have been pouring into the tribe as it prepares for the victims' funerals. Bush told Jourdain that he used part of his weekly radio address to encourage Americans to send more help, Perino said. The president's address was taped Friday morning and will be broadcast Saturday.

But......I wouldn't expect most people around here to mention this info when condemning the President.
The article I linked was really easy to find, it is mentioned on the home page of several news agencies online.
