Things that you don't do just because they don't look right...

I understand the President of the United States can run the country from anywhere, but there are somethings that just don't look right. Here's one of them from http://bellaciao.org:

"President Bush was on holiday in Texas when Katrina struck. He then
spent Monday on a pre-arranged political fundraising tour of California
and Arizona, which he did not cancel or curtail. On Tuesday he surveyed
the hurricane damage - but only from the flight deck of Air Force One,
prompting criticism that he was too detached from the suffering on the
ground. He didn’t give a speech until Tuesday afternoon - 36 hours
after the storm first hit - and didn’t embark on a proper tour of the
region until yesterday. Key advisers have come under fire for similar
levels of detachment. As the full magnitude of the disaster unfolded,
the Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, was seen buying shoes in New
York, and Dick Cheney remained on holiday."

It sort of makes the agonizingly long 5 minutes of My Pet Goat seem rather puny.
