sending the head of FEMA doesn't do the job.

The POTUS has prioritized interests in Iraq ahead of interests in the nation's most important state (sorry Texas, Florida, and New York...but that's the fact).

The absence of the POTUS in the next 24 hours from California will cause the loss of this state in this election year.

The WH needs to wake up.

They cannot bring the President into this zone right now -- too much advance planning since 9/11 and too many people that are out on the fire lines and law enforcement needed in these area.

Don't want to add a Presidential visit and all that encompasses to what these disaster preparedness people are going through. Ever stop to think this may be what terrorist would count on -- visit by the President -- AF One parked on the tarmac -- could be a prescription for real disaster.
