President Obama has already offered federal assistance and is visiting Alabama, an overwhelmingly red state that would never vote for him. It's refreshing to see a President that acts like a President for all of the people.
This is hilarious.
Obama is such a polarizing, partisan child that people are now praising him for doing the minimum of what a president should do. We have come to expect the actions of a spoiled, incompetent child and when he does not act the part, IT IS surprising.

Rare indeed. How many times did Bush 43 go to NY? There was about as much chance of him ever winning NY as there are of pigs flying.

That was all for show. That event turned his failed Presidency around and set him up to win the 2004 election with his "war on terrah" and "the homos".
Since it was the first year of his presidency, he wasn't in campaign mode oh, and we're still not voting for this guy.
What would really impress me if he answered Perry's plea on help for the Texas Wildfire diasters. It's been two weeks now and no word from the president.
No, I am just pointing out to people who assume that the President, regardless of political party, would visit any area of the country in disaster immediately without question. Bush did not do this with 9/11 or Katrina. It took him a minute to think about it before he decided to do something about it.
I agree, it's a part of the job description, but since some presidents haven't met that minimum standard, we've gotten to a point where meeting that standard has become "commendable".
What do you mean he didn't do visit right away after 9/11? Actually his staff had to hold him back as they were not sure it was a safe thing for him to go immediately to NY. Katrina, mistakes, that is accepted by all. Wouldn't it be great if none of us ever did anything we later regretted?
So are you acknowledging that GWB made a "mistake" by not handling Katrina properly? If so, you might be the first conservative to ever do so. Usually, we hear a list of excus-- I mean, reasons why GWB "couldn't" get to New Orleans, or couldn't land, or didn't know, or was given the wrong info, or it wasn't safe, etc... are you saying he made mistakes with Katrina? It would do my heart so good to hear a Republican finally admit that.
This thread highlights the difference - and risks - of having a "political" head of state who, essentially, represents those who vote for him/her rather than one who is essentially a figurehead and whose role is to represent all the people.

the 'mistake' of katrina was by mayor Nagin and the governor of La
bush gave nagin and the governor cartbanch BEFORE the hurricane even hit...all the problems of katrina fall squarely on the mayor and governor
