The President is finnally getting engaged, showing leadership and that's good. You need the NG on the ground but the country also needs to see leadership which is important to morale. And that's finally occuring.
The President was engaged before the storm hit. Again, you are falling victim to media cover up. The President called the leadership in the to be affected states. States of emergency were declared before the storm hit. The Gov of LA admitted the President called her to have a mandatory evacuation of NO. You can't be more engaged than that.
