President Barack Obama was today forced to announce he will fly to storm-hit Louisiana on Monday – hours after Mitt Romney beat him to the punch by deciding to head there this afternoon.

After it emerged that Obama was still taking time to fit in a campaign stop in Cleveland, Ohio before checking out how clean-up operations are proceeding in the Bayou state, the Obama campaign abruptly cancelled that event.

'In light of the President’s travel to Louisiana to meet with local officials and view ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac, President Obama will no longer travel to Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, September 3,' the campaign said in a terse statement.

WOW, we both posted this at almost the exact same time.
 
A week later he visits.

Why bother

Should he have come during the storm so you idiots could accuse him of getting in the way?

Romney is supposed to go sight seeing to Laffitte - I just heard the Parish President yesterday say that sight seeing is hampering efforts to recover there. Well done Romney, thanks for getting in everyone's way.
 
Obama has fundraisers to attend, he's not worried about the common folks in LA.......
 
So whoever announces second is being forced by the first?

It appears that way dumbass.

What does it "appear" that way? Because you say so?

Obama never planned to visit Louisiana.
He was scheduled to campaign.
Romney announces he's going to Louisiana.
Hours later Obama is now going to Louisiana.

Any random idiot can see Obama made an error in not going to N.O. in the first place.

Well, almost any random idiot.

Second is the first loser.

Ahh. So its a race. I thought i was about suffering and loss after a natural disaster. But its really a race.

Got it.

How long has Romney had this visit planned?
 
Second time he's blinked in about a week. Recall he was taking so much heat about ignoring the WH press folks that he suddenly showed up unannounced to take a few questions.

Weakness. A president is supposed to set the agenda, not react to others. Barry's made a big mistake listening to Valerie Jarrett too much and chasing Rahm - a very experienced political infighter - off the reservation.

It's bumbling and oversight.

Obama should have been down there days ago.

Stupid move on his part.

Romney is leading by example, and it's good to see Obama is now following that lead.
