I agree. They have enough to do without having the extra headache of a presidential visit.
And if he did, the headline would be that he was grandstanding.
It doesn’t matter what the headline might be. it’s not about him. As C-I-C, he’s supposed to go. President Bush didn’t get a pass when it was Katrina.
“And if he did, the headline would be that he was grandstanding.”
You mean unlike the photo-op he did with our Fallen Troops? /s
The media would be slobbering all over him for being such a wonderful, compassionate man.
He didn't go because he doesn't care. A military base always accepts a visit from the Commander in Chief.
Only we don't HAVE one.
