Former U.S. president Bill Clinton looks out onto areas of Bolivar Peninsula that were affected by Hurricane Ike as he tours the area by helicopter with former president George H.W. Bush, October 14, 2008, in Port Bolivar, Texas. The two former presidents have created the Bush-Clinton Coastal Recovery Fund to focus on long-term recovery efforts all along the Gulf coast. The effort is patterned after their previous partnerships to help survivors of the Indonesian tsunami and of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. REUTERS/Smiley N. Pool/Pool (UNITED STATES)
