The Prez Goes to Florida

Sure, it sounds just so thoughtful that the president is heading down to Florida quickly to assess damage. But consider this: all salvage and rescue operations will be impacted as emergency workers and police are diverted to keep the president's privileged little tush safe. The cost for his visit could be better put to use helping victims of the hurricane. Of course, the same could be said about Jeb: he looks like he could stand to miss a meal or seven to donate to victim relief.
