IMHO, people, in such dire situations, EXPECT the president
to show concern by making an appearance, be he Democrat,
or Republican. It is tradition, and expected. It will be a
quick trip, in and out.

I personally don't believe that "tradition" has priority in an
emergency situation.

Not to show would be like your dad not coming to see you
in the hospital. Not much class.

No, I think a more appropriate analogy would be your dad
not being allowed in the operating room during surgery,
when he would be in the way. The appropriate time for
your dad to visit is when you are recuperating, and the
emergency is over.

Same with the President, IMO.

But that's just my opinion.
Being Canadian, my opinion's probably wrong anyway. g
