(43,850 posts)Putting a microphone in front of someone who is stressed, angry, and afraid is far easier for the press to do than cutting the trees so you can get the bulldozer to move the debris so the elecric company can plant a new snapped-off pole so they can string the wire and replace the transformer to get the power to run the pumps to pump the water out of the houses and replace the collapsed drywall and haul away the toxic material so the people can live in their houses again is for the gov't to do. This will take days and weeks, no matter what President Obama does.
President Obama is, I feel certain, staying in touch with FEMA, which is coordinating the national efforts and having him do nothing else will accomplish no more.
People are suffering. And I'm really sorry for that. They're angry because that's one of the stages of grief, and they have much to grieve. But he can't attend each one. I think he'll go back and forth but we'll see. I expect the RWNJs will make what hay they can out of whatever he does.
