Midwest Floods, Our President Plays Basketball?

First of all my sympathies go out to all the people that have been affected in the floods, and just plain horrible weather period that the central part of our country has been experiencing. I wanted to know how the people either in charge, or running to be in charge responded. This is some of what I found out.

This weekend our Mid-West, already flooded, prepared for more flooding due to weather and levees that are failing or are near failing. You would think our President would be out there promising help and checking out the situation. You know with so much of our fellow Americans lives, homes, jobs and way of life at stake. Not to mention a huge chunk of our Nations infrastructure at stake as well. You would think that would be the most logical thing right? Not our President, he plays by his own... well..

He instead played some basketball with kids in Northern Ireland, While on an extended European vacation slash good bye tour. Sometimes you got to know when your needed at home.

OK so how about the Would-Be's?

On the same day, John McCain attended a private fundraiser in Riverside, California, and blasted a press release of "sympathy" to Midwestern victims of the floods that have devastated crops, homes, churches, businesses, and lives-- most especially in the flood epicenter of Iowa, a 'must-win' battleground state this fall for both McCain and Obama.

Oh! He also promised to "stand ready to help those in the Midwest to recover and rebuild."

OK...

And how say you Mr. Obama...

Great Photo-Op and he really get's to help out, and brings coverage, support, and masses of volunteers to help out.
