If the President is indeed strong, he will Do The Right Thing - not the
political thing. The Right Thing at this moment in time, I wager, is to
not get in the way. If necessary, he can explain why he is keeping away
- then the people criticising him will look rather pathetic that they
essentially want rescue work to be intefered with.

The right thing, IMO, would be to visit quietly and not have a TFR.
Does anyone really believe that a credible terrorist threat could be
mounted in such a disaster zone? Let's use some basic sense here.

The current TFR has nothing to do with the Pres.
TFR's have historically been used in times of emergency to keep the
Lookie Loo's out of the area.
