I think he was interested but IMHO I think he thought it went on too long in the hanger and some of it could have been done on the journey after all the Satellite pictures he must have seen many times.

I do not think it was a media show but this President does not care for what he may view as small talk regardless of whether some see it as necessary

Oh I agree. He also made some brief comments to the press at the White House before he left for the hurricane areas. I didn't see this, but some Freepers were complaining that it was too short, that he could've said more.

Someone pointed out that that would've been Clinton's response, to give a 20 minute "I feel your pain" speech, which would've accomplished nothing. Thanks goodness that W is the opposite of Clinton--in every way :) He's an action president, not a talking president.
