81. Compare to Bush* NOLA flyover photo

,a staged photo whose insincerity was blatant. The picture of the President seems pretty candid and indeed shows a man with a mission. You know, not the kind that forgets what briefing he got on the 18th of August.

Campaign gold, too. Your reactions in this thread prove it.

I'll be a bit blunt and say that ever since the evildoers got reappointed in the treasury dept, I find all the president's achievements to be of second order to that. But that doesn't mean they are minor. He'd have my vote in a heartbeat, and I can only hope Sandy doesn't bring down the vote. If a majority of Americans elects Romney, I would really despair.

Good vibes to all affected by the storm,
take care
