Bush and McCain finally find time to visit flooded Midwest

So did Obama, only he did it five days before the other two. No doubt, it doesn't hurt one's political rep to be seen with your sleeves rolled up, shoveling sand into sand bags. But still, physically helping out with levee fortification days before the river was expected to crest, in addition to calling on supporters to come from around the nation to lend a hand, is way different from quickly strolling through an area devastated days earlier. One sounds like the act of a president we want, while the other is what we've come to expect from a president (and his prototype) who's term we're counting down by the day--215; seriously, I looked it up.
