I asked a White House official about this idea. He laughed. "We don't do grandstanding," he said. "It would be a circus." Still, he didn't rule it out.No, no 0bola hates photo-op sessions, he's too modest </sarc>

Not only should he go, he should go wearing nothing but speedos. And make sure he take Mooch with him and Valerie Jarrett for advice.

He certainly should go. He should do lots of hugging and handshaking while he is there.

When a Foreign animal disease is introduced into the US and a local veterinarian finds it, the Feds send boucoups of Federal veterinarians to contain the disease with information and technical on the ground help. Looks like the animals are more important because of the economics.
