I support President Obama in everything he does; he is my Commander In Chief!
However, I really believe he should end his trip to Europe and head home immediately. There is nothing like the leader being absent during a natural catastrophe. Remember Katrina? Remember how people reacted to the time it took President Bush to get to new Orleans? Will President Obama receive that same criticism?
Perhaps I missed it but I haven't seen anyone from the white house senior leadership in Joplin since the storms hit. I did see where the FEMA representative went to Joplin (as a representative for the President); however, that's simply not the same. Its a bit distasteful for the news and other media outlets to show President Obama toasting to his Irish roots when the death toll continues to rise in Joplin.
Subsequently, I believe President Obama should get on Air Force One and head directly to the nearest flight line where he can land closest to Joplin.
