    Romney announces Gulf Coast trip; Obama quickly says me too, me too!!

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ign-trail.html


    Obama is really a punk. Instead of breaking all tradition by actively campaigning, he should have focused his attention on the hurricane victims. Romney had to shame him into doing it. Obama is such a loser.

    --

    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.

    'In light of the President’s travel to Louisiana to meet with local officials and view ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac, President Obama will no longer travel to Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, September 3,' the campaign said in a terse statement.


    Romney had changed his schedule to head to an affected town outside New Orleans while Obama, who has yet to visit the Tropical Storm Isaac zone, headed off to Texas to campaign.


    Concern: Mitt Romney, pictured at the American Legion National Convention in Indianapolis, has changed his campaign trail plans and will visit a storm-hit area of Louisiana on Friday




    Romney’s last-minute trip to New Orleans came as his wife Ann told CNN that swing women voters in particular had told her that 'it's time for the grown-up to come, the man that's going to take this very seriously and the future of our children very, very seriously'.

    He opted out of a joint campaign appearance in Richmond, Virginia with Paul Ryan, his vice-presidential running mate, to head to Louisiana.

    The first day of the Republican convention in Tampa was cancelled as Isaac bore down on Florida and the Gulf of Mexico area.

    That's just the way the article posted. I didn't bother to change it.

    Your story telling is about as convincing as the man you are trying to promote

    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.

    What exactly is the purpose of Romney's "tour"? He has no authority, no power, no position. Seems to me given that the hurricane has just passed, all he'll be doing by going there today is getting in the way of relief efforts and slowing it down. I guess it was on the way out of Tampa so he wanted to stop there since he was passing by.

    Really, it's the same for Obama at this very early stage, although at least he has some involvement given that he's actually the President. Seems to me that waiting a few days is much more appropriate.

    And BTW, the President is "campaigning" today by visiting troops at Fort Bliss in Texas.

    Louisiana is a solid Republican state.

    Romney is a man who cares for the people. He's giving his own time and money to support the clean up efforts and help the average man recover from this cruel act of nature. This is how a president should lead.

    He's probably doing it for the tax write off.
