Originally posted by SC: I just heard that Congress is cutting its break short and returning early to vote on legislation helping the hurricane's victims. I'd say thats the least they could do.
I don't wanna politicize this but it was also just announced that Bush will be touring the disaster area tomorrow. I don't see how thats going to accomplish anything of real value; in fact by him being there its only going to make things worse by virtue of the security needed to protect him (and taking away police from other more immediate duties).
Good point SC. His being there will detract from what really needs to be focused on. And every moment of this rescue effort counts right now.
But then as the leader of this country, if he does not show up, there are those who will accuse him of not caring. And as the leader of this country, he probably feels that he needs to see first hand what damage is done so that he can have a first hand understanding of what resources need to be provided by government in order to try and remedy this situation.
It's a tough situation. But if the decision were up to me, right now I would advise him to stay away, for the exact reasons that you have stated.
