~ EXCERPT ~

JOPLIN, Mo. — About 1,500 people are unaccounted for in this battered city, a Fire Department official said Tuesday, as rescue workers took advantage of a few hours of sunny weather to continue searching for survivors in buildings leveled by the country’s deadliest tornado in more than 60 years. At least 117 people have died.

**snip**

Earlier Tuesday, President Obama, who is on a state trip in Britain, said that he was monitoring the federal response to the tornado and that he planned to visit Missouri on Sunday “to talk with folks who’ve been affected, to talk to local officials about our response effort and hopefully to pray with folks and give them whatever assurance and comfort I can that the entire country is going to be behind them.”

Those poor people. First they lost everything and even their loved ones. Now they’ll be subjected to a campaign stop by the Gangsta-in-Chief.

Would that he would stay in Europe and just not come home.

The MSM and the liberals will tie this to global warming or climate change or whatever they call it and use this to forward the agenda.

Dear Lord I hope this is just people out of town or on vacation or something like that. This is just to much. And our lovely President can’t even fly home for this. Oh he’ll go maybe sunday when he gets back home. That is if he has time before his next vacation.
