No.

The President needs to do what he is doing.

Which is not spending time mugging for a camera while lives are in jeopardy. If you want a rhetorical "compassionate" speech, look for that in a few days when we aren't in a crucial period where a few hours could mean another death.

Sorry to be so blunt, but there it is. He can either play PR games, or he can save lives and attempt to stop a national gas crisis. He can't do both. I'm not interested in politics right now. The end.

And, btw, would have to disagree that a person taking charge, informing what is being done, and what will be done yet is not comforting.

He is working behind the scenes and for that people should be grateful, but to put blinders on as to how he appears to the public is not real.

He should be doing his job and making sure that all of the Americans affected by this tragedy have their needs met. However, ALL Americans want to know that our president speaks for them when they cannot do so themselves. Also, expressing the frustration that people must have in not knowing what to do for their fellow Americans and offering ways for them to do so would not be a bad idea either.
