Obama Leads From Behind. Will Follow Romney to Louisiana

Leading from behind Obama will follow Romney to flooded Louisiana. Romney interrupted his campaign to fly to hurricane ravaged LaFittee where he told Governor Bobby Jindal ,"I'm here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what's going on here, So that people around the country know that people down here need help."
Although Louisiana is safely in Romney's column the Republican candidate succeeded in drawing Obama's attention to what was going on there. Obama abruptly cancelled a rally in Cleveland planned for Monday to tour the flooding in Louisiana. A tersely worded press release from the White House read; "In light of the President’s travel to Louisiana to meet with local officials and view ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac, President Obama will no longer travel to Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, September. "

At Fort Bliss Texas at what was an official speech turned campaign rally the troops sat on their hand through several applause lines. The audience remained quiet even when the exalted commander-in-chief thanked the soldiers’ families, and cited the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The audience’s reaction was so flat that the president tried twice to elicit a reaction from the crowd.
“Hey, I hear you,” he said amid silence.
Presidential lap dog, MSNBC and CNN both dropped coverage of the speech about half the way through. The White House video feed abruptly ended 10 seconds after the end of the speech so in the event anyone was still watching it would be impossible to judge the troops' reaction.
Not a real good day!
