Sorry, but this is shameful

It reminds me of Governor Arnold having a pothole dug in the street so he can fill it in on camera. Senator Landrieu is not happy with the President's visit. Is this a fair critique?

BayouBuzz.com - Louisiana Politics and News: "But perhaps the greatest disappointment stands at the breached 17th Street levee. Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast -- black and white, rich and poor, young and old -- deserve far better from their national government."
