What is the writer's opinion regarding Obama's decision to not visit a disaster area?
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Obama was asked to not visit. He didn't. Had he gone anyway, he'd be blasted for ignoring the governor's request. The money (my tax dollars) spent for the President to travel to a disaster area and glad-hand a few locals doesn't fix the catastrophe. I'm not sure I'd find comfort in saying "my whole neighborhood is leveled, but the President of the United States toured the area."
