Why does a President have to visit to see the damage? For morale support? There are people trained in damage evaluation that actually need to be there. Politicians just get in the way.

This is why......

Having run large scale scenes I can tell you first hand that having visiting dignitaries show up on scene takes many needed resources from the jobs they need to be doing. So really it`s for eyeball effect.


But on the other hand........... It does show caring..
 
Eh, this whole Election Thing is causing a lot of people to say stuff that I (like to) consider out-of-character.

Heh heh, oh just get me going on the whole "some people`s values" topic...but I still don`t think anyone`s gonna change because of what somebody on the "other side" says. Hey, we all *know* we`re right...right? ;)

I do find it, uhm...interesting...how the "off-the-cuff behavior" thing gets interpreted though. IMO it generally gives insight into a person`s true nature and there are plenty of people who simply don`t say or do [inappropriate stuff] under *any* circumstances. The folks who *don`t* do that stuff are what I consider "high-quality humans" and...sigh...they seem to be increasingly rare these days.

If "Character is what you do when nobody`s looking", then what you do in the Public Arena....well, it speaks volumes.

Agree completely.

Can`t help but think of what *really* happens when many [celebrities and their people] show up to "contribute" when there`s a high-profile disaster. There can be downsides that really matter.

If there were a genuine disaster in my area, I sure wouldn`t want the POTUS to show up and play Empathizer-in-Chief, that`s not the contribution I`d want from my President and the whole dog-and-pony show would impede the people who *can* make the needed contributions.
 
Haven`t seen too many Hillary defenders. Sad that votes really don`t have much of a choice this time. It`s a pretty much an "anyone but Trump, vote for Hillary" type thing going on.
