The flyover controversy was lame then, just like the controversy about Obama is now.
50% of the President's job is not photo ops. He runs the executive branch of our government which includes emergency response. He's got fleets of doctors, soldiers, engineers and construction teams at his disposal. During Katrina, Bush & the state & local governments kept knocking heads like the 3 stooges. Nothing effective was being done.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that folks who lost everything in these floods are more concerned about the government helping them than about Obama standing up and giving a speech. This garbage idea of "optics" is for those of us sitting on our couches watching flood coverage on CNN. Obama's thing has always been to not worry how it looks as long as it's effective.
