Obama in my home state.

Having supported the USSS when I was in the military, the most help any POTUS can ever do for a disaster area is to stay the hell away. His presence does nothing but disrupt.

I know that it is a photo op, but I really wish the POTUS (all POTUS) would stay home when there are these disasters.

Their support is best done in DC with coordinating the Executive Branch... but that does not make a good photo op.

Agreed. But if they did, they'd catch flak from the other side for not caring.

Damned if you do...

I caught this too late.

Stay away is the safest, where was he when our power was out for 15 days? Golfing?

He did great at staying away,

I was never defending Obama, but blasting congressionanals (yes anals) mispelled intentionally) for stepping on our relief. Joplin MO got it's money in weeks, NJ/NY blue staters, "dem rich nawtherners got dey own moneys" or something happened. I am just calling attention to it.

(edit: I do not see where I defended Obama in my posts, I did praise his republican counterpart)

I wonder what happened to all the clubs on the Boulevard in Seaside Heights. I'll bet they're all gone: Joey's Surf Club, Club XS, Bermuda Club, Yakety Yak's. Me and my wife used to frequent them when we were younger. I haven't been to the NJ shore in over a decade.
Used to visit Point Pleasant and Diamond Beach in Wildwood too.
