Thats not the point. He should offer help. At least he should acknowledge them. President Bush was on TV 2 days before Katrina hit begging Blanco to ask for help so he could send in Fema to help evacuate the people. He even drafted a formal letter and asked her to ask him for help, yet he was demonized for not being fast enough. Obama hasn’t even ackmowledged these suffering people and the media hasn’t said jack squat about it. Its a disgrace.
In today's world, if the MSM does not acknowledge the problem, then it does not exist. There is no ice storm. There are no dead.
Too improbable? The MSM has already proven it controls perception of events and history with its non-reporting of the starvation of millions in Ukraine by Stalin in the 1930's.
