One impact I thought of works against Obama. What does the country think if this is, in fact, a bad one with a lot of damage and loss of life, and Obama is off campaigning? You can be sure the Reps will be criticizing every minute he spends in Ohio as neglecting the suffering of Americans affected by the storm. On the other hand, looking presidential may bring him a few more votes that simply being a bystander or a nuisance like Romney will be.
Where could he be filling sand bags that people wouldn`t call it a photo op?
Obama could bungle this a la Katrina and the MSM would still cover for him. Chris Matthews would get all tingly, Madcow and the rest would sing his praises unto the heavens and the masses would weep in adoration.
One thing for sure, since this is hitting the east coast it is ALL that we will be hearing about for days afterward. Campaign "messages" will be kicked to the curb as the eastern press examines every detail of the storm no matter how boring for the rest of us. It is already happening.

Doesn't matter what he does. They'll find fault with it.

Sure, but a hell of a lot of people live along the eastern seaboard, a lot along coasts, rivers and other vulnerable places. As our VP would say, a big f$#$in' deal.

No friggin' way. No disaster response will ever equal the bungling that occurred after Katrina.
