Whoa that set off a firestorm! There are many ways to skin a cat if the desire is there. Many roads lead to Rome

What was it that set off a “firestorm”? Just actress Kirstie Alley calling out President Obama for taking his sweet time to get around to visiting flood-ravaged Louisiana:

Gov. Edwards said on MSNBC, he advised Obama not to go so not to divert resources. RT @kirstiealley: Or golf course https://t.co/U4DihHJz8x

@MicahMcCain yes but you should defer to the governor and your on-the-ground resources. Not going doesn't equal don't care

@MicahMcCain do you really think POTUS can 'slip into' a city????? You're smarter than that.

Yes I actually do..it's been done before https://t.co/Ak60KyE32Z

@MicahMcCain and also usually better to have aid groups discuss needs..worse when uncoordinated, unnecessary stuff gets sent

— Debbie Katz (@debkatz512) August 19, 2016

Not my experience as immediate aid is needed immediately ..My help was never turned down except by 2 BIG groups https://t.co/96jIQMoLpK

So what, he is coming next week anyway. Trump is here now. Taylor Swift gave a million dollars… What more can u do https://t.co/Tir1CbNMLR

A LOT https://t.co/mnpLIuTs9W

— Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) August 19, 2016

to sum up, I get the poor optics, but it's a stretch to say he doesn't care. Love him or hate him..
