And Obama is going to visit the military today in a trip that his administration says is “official, not political”
Gave me a good laugh when I heard that this morning.
But! But, Obama is personally following the situation, from a golf cart on a golf course, somewhere.
Good move on Mitt’s part. He was there first a fact that won’t be lost on those hit by the hurricane. I remember the media angst because GWB wasn’t down there in the midst of chaos leading the evacuations and handing out water bottles.
Jindal was out in the middle of it, with the rain falling, wind blowing, and surge rising - as a good governor ought to be. I still give Romney kudos for showing up. I have to admit that is better than the attention of an empty chair.
Grudging admiration that the Romney team was ready on Morning #1 (I’d wanted Santorum), with spanking new paint on their planes, to go tour a disaster area that our -resident couldn’t get around to because he was busy lying to the gullible at several universities this week.
Way to go, Team Romney!
Good move.

Mitt Romney going to Louisiana to see damage from Hurricane Isaac
Obama will get a pass because he has a job. Romney can go about doing whatever he wants. Guarantee that is going to be what the media says.
What a contrast to our current Narcissist in Chief Obama who only goes where he can get votes or money out of the deal
Pretty much what a president would do.
I think this is a good gesture..... and he beat Obama. It has to upset Obama and that alone makes it worthwhile.
Everything sucks down here. Scattered power. Few stores open or capable of being opened. Where’s Obama?
