'Furious' Obama heading to Gulf for spill update

From the AP:

Determined to project both command and compassion, President Barack Obama is returning to the Louisiana coast for a fresh look...


You know the best way to project command and compassion? Be commanding and compassionate. Let your actions speak for themselves.

That's the problem with Obama - he needs to quit trying to look like he's doing something and, you know, actually do something. He's in a hole and he's trying to image his way out of it.

Why, exactly, must Obama travel to the Gulf for an update? It's not as if he can't get right on the phone (or any cable news network) and find out exactly what's going on up to the minute. No, he needs to appear to be doing something, as any good savior must.
