Romney put Obama on the defense--this election may be very interesting. Romney announced at the end of the convention that he would tour devastated Louisiana. Where was the president? Why wasn't he going? Obama realized about 12 hours later that this would look bad--a sitting president ignoring a disaster scene. It was reminiscent of President Bush's flyover of Katrina, which resulted in much Democrat criticism of Bush. You have got to give this one to the Romney campaign.
President Barack Obama was today
forced to announce he will fly to storm-hit Louisiana on Monday – hours
after Mitt Romney beat him to the punch by deciding to head there this
afternoon.
After it emerged that Obama was still taking time to fit in a campaign
stop in Cleveland, Ohio before checking out how clean-up operations are
proceeding in the Bayou state, the Obama campaign abruptly cancelled
that event.
Seven years ago, President
George W. Bush was lambasted for inaction and incompetence in dealing
with Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and much of the
Mississippi and Louisiana gulf coast.
