he has certainly avoided saving the gulf....not that in reality he could have...but his late pr bullmal is just that
If he had gone to the Coast every other day since the spill started, it would have been just as much PR bullshit. Obama is doing exactly what he should be doing - staying out of the way of people who actually know what they're doing.
Which, in this case, happens to be NO ONE.
But when Bush felt the need to stay away from NO as his being there would truly interfere with humanitarian efforts as well as strain on the already broken down policing system and, of course, having to close the few streets not flooded for his motorcade, he was labeled as a racist.
Exacly who's way would Obama be in down there? Did the slick close most of the streets so his motorcade would be a real dsiruption? Is the airport needed for humanoitrian relief? Has the police departments of the area been compromised?
Or is Obama a....uh.....pelican hater?
