He could have been the hero by having USAF planes fly stuff into the local airports. But instead he has to use security resources better used elsewhere to protect his a** while schmoosing with Bloomie and Christie. Whatta maroon.

You are right on target.. No matter what he did would have been respected for the selfless effort, and rewarded with admiration.. It just isn’t his thingy.. Karma baby... :)

Yeah....about that plane thing.
What I’ve been learning about that lately is...if you don’t know EXACTLY what is going on down on the ground, the policy is - you can’t send in the planes.

So - if there is a mild degree of confusion, chaos, or (gasp!) danger - then you have no choice but to stand down.

The fog of the storm and all that. /s
