Will you stop it about the President coming out there right now -- How many times do you have to be told that a Presidential visit requires a lot of advance people and those folks are most likely involved in all of this disaster? You do not bring AF One with the President on board into SoCal right now when the airports are not even running all their flights. The President has signed the declaration for a disaster area for four counties.
Please knock it off about the President -- his coming out there is not a priority -- Federal Funds are a priority and they will be on the way shortly.
How many times do you have to be told that a Presidential visit requires a lot of advance people and those folks are most likely involved in all of this disaster? If the WH can not move the POTUS on a dime, it makes me wonder about whether or not the POTUS can really respond to a natural disaster. Sending a FEMA bureaucrat is weak.
The excuses I'm hearing flown are weak.
This entire issue is the VISIBILITY of the leader.
The GOP has let the lead go Democrat in this state.
Why?
Care to explain why Arnold isn't out at the disaster shelters?
These guys need to fire their handlers...they only consume cash and return no "Win"s.
I want this POTUS to return to the WH... you guys are solidifying the opposition. With Davis rounding in the disaster areas, he's pulling in Garamendi for press conferences, referring to Boxer's office for support.
When people are hurting, they don't give a rats patootie about the politics...they want to see the leader in person.
Thank you......
The very last thing those brave firefighters and support personnel need is to worry about Presidential photo ops. President Bush is savy enough to know his place right now. Clinton, on the other hand..............
