Obama In Metro Area Sunday

[Ridge]

He's not comming to pay his respects, he's comming to grandstand in an election year.
Remember Fort Hood? He went there and made a speech but never visited the wounded or the families of those killed.

Actually, he did.

Did Obama visit the evacuation centers during his fire visit? I saw an interview of some folks down in the Springs and they were pissed that he didn't. If he really didn't, he's classless and should have stayed in DC.

Also, he never visited Texas when half of that State was on fire last year. Of course, Texas isn't a swing State...

Funny because there is a similar thread on Rivals. I brought up the idea that he is only visiting for votes, and man it is fun to defend myself against hundreds of liberals all the time. I sure do fit in better here.

There have also been a war since yesterday's events about AR-15s, and semi automatic weapons, magazine etc. has been an entertaining few days.

He visited an area where homes were burned, a fire station near Mtn shadows and the southeast YMCA which was a red cross shelter at the time. I was at the airport shortly after he landed and saw one of the MAFFS hercs take off as soon as they reopened things following his arrival. I don't like the guy but let's at least have our facts straight when we debate.

Yeah, I was doubtful when those folks were interviewed. I mean going to the shelters has to be in the playbook if you visit a devastated area. Maybe he just didn't visit THEIR shelter and felt snubbed.
