Change in plans: Obama will visit La. Monday - POLITICO.com

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki told POLITICO earlier Friday that the president had no plans yet to visit the Gulf state and review damage from Hurricane Isaac, even though Mitt Romney announced plans to visit Friday.

But the White House announced a few hours later that he is now planning to go there.

Nothing more needs to be said
 
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
 
Oh what nonsense! The President has been on top of this since it all began , talking to governors ,and has already approved fed relief , it was constant through the entire path of Isaac, just because he didn't hop in a plan first means nothing! Wtf can Romney do anyway? Other than pretend i guess its a good photo op!

Obama looks like an opportunistic douche now, having to wait for Romney to announce that he would head to the region.

What has Obama done since the storm hit? Trolled the campaign trail looking for cash.

...And coordinated with the appropriate federal agencies to get the response going.

What, you want him to go down and start appraising homes himself?

Yes, and he better not use an electric pen while doing it.
 
So Romney at the drop of his hat decides to change his plans to visit New Orleans due to Isaac, Obama decides the same and he is a follower? No, Obama is the president and visits areas who are struck by disasters. Romney goes for a photo opportunity IMHO and because he feels it is the best political move.

All week the left was salivating that African Americans would be hurt by the hurricane so they could demagogue it. Looks like they now all have egg on their faces.
 
I still believe Bush's apathy over Katrina is when many people started to truly despise him. It will always be a huge moment of shame for the federal (and state) government.

I am glad they convicted the officers who open fired on the people trying to cross a bridge to get out of there.
 
I've been kind of wondering why the left has been so quiet about this hurricane, given the super oppourtunity for Obama to show what a hero he can be. I figured Obama would be flying a rescue helicopter himself, doing nap-of-the-earth manuevers as he scoops up stranded victims. :lol:

Oh well too late now.

No, that was Katrina and George "Good job Brownie" Bush that was too late. A good President does not need to interfere with rescue operations by butting in where he is not needed. No one has any complaints about the Govt. response to Isaac. A refreshing change from the endless bungling and excuses that came before.

Wow, and plans are set in stone and never change of course.

Especially if Jindahl invites Obama to come and see the damage caused by the storm. HOW DARE Obama actually do what he was invited to do.

Jindahl by the way invited both Romney and Obama, so I don't know why the republicans immediately start whining when Obama does something at the invitation of a republican Governor.

Also, a candidate is free to change his schedule on a whim, a president is not so free to change his plans.
