When did he personally inspect the area?

Just exactly what do you think the presidential inspection accomplishes in
REAL terms with regard to helping out and solving problems?
The President (no matter who it is) gets all the reports he/she needs to
determine the severity of the problems.
The presidential fly by is nothing more than an attempt to quiet the morons
who think that UNLESS the presidents fly over the area and sees it for
themselves, they don't care. It's the aerial equivalent of biting one's lip
and announcing that they feel your pain.
It contributes NOTHING to solving the problems. In fact it's a hideous waste
of valuable time.

This morning on ABC, they played a video made earlier this week of
George Stephanopolas riding in an S-76 flying around the New Orleans
ares with Louisiana Senator Andrews (?).
She was blaming all of New Orleans and Louisiana's ills on the Bush
administration.
She complained about his visit earlier this week and how it was just a
photo op.
She said Bush should come ride with her so she can show him the real
disaster area. (Sounds like someone wants a photo op with the President?
"That's right Mr and Ms Louisiana voter, that was me with the President
during our hour of need!")
Part of the tour included her property an area on a point of land where
she had been staying prior to the hurricane. She kept calling a "camp".
All the "camps" on this point of land were high priced year round homes.
She said some of them were worth over a million dollars. Each had their
own 300 foot sea wall/dock.
Her home was destroyed, as were most of the others that had been built
on slabs. Those homes built on stilts were intact with minimum damage,
as were the boathouses.
