Quote:I don't think people were mad at Bush because he didn't visit.  No one wanted him to visit.  That would have done more harm than good. They were mad because he didn't seem to be doing anything or getting anything done about it. 

 

As for Obama, I don't know what good would come from him touring flood areas.   It'd probably just cause further chaos from the heightened security requirements of a Presidential visit. 

 

So, not a good comparison.  

I guess they weren't paying attention to all the stuff he was handling with FEMA, other government agencies, the states and governers of the states thought to be affected before the storm even hit.

 

As for Obama, I agree that there's not a point in touring areas no one should probably be in anyway, it's the fact that he just doesn't seem to care. The man doesn't get involved in things unless it furthers his agenda or he's backed into a corner.
