Is President Obama still trying to avoid Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal? Evidently he’s aware there was a devastating hurricane this week, but visiting the storm-torn areas doesn’t seem to be on his list of priorities.
Pres Obama returns to campaign events tomorrow with a 3-day trip back to swing states Iowa, Colorado and Ohio.

Mitt Romney altered his campaign plans so he could visit New Orleans today after Hurricane Issac pounded the area.
Romney is heading to New Orleans this morning to meet with Gov Jindal, other officials, and will tour the storm area @carlcameron reports

Meanwhile, President Obama will be in El Paso, Texas.
Mitt's going to hurricane ravaged areas. Obama heading to Texas. Has to be a fundraiser or golf.

Actually, it’s not an official campaign trip. He’s visiting Fort Bliss to mark the two-year anniversary of the end of American combat operations in Iraq.
Tomorrow: Pres Obama visits Fort Bliss, Texas to meet with troops/military families. Marks anniversary of end of US combat mission in Iraq.

Unbelievable? Or typical?

It’s a tale of two candidates.
Romney cancelled his campaign stops to head to New Orleans… Obama blogs on Reddit and heads to Texas…

Seriously: Mitt Romney is dragging Obama to Louisiana by his ear. Awesome.
