It has been? How so? Let us wait for the press conference today. In the absence of what a President has to say, we are free to form our own opinions and conclusions on the Fed's response. Besides it is not politically correct for Obama to be going to fund raisers when there is a oil leak that has not been plugged yet. From what I know, the operations to plug the leak are being run by lawyers. It is stupid for Carville to say that the President should visit LA so that he gets a first hand knowledge and that people around him are keeping info from him. This is a President who rode into office with his Blackberry which signifies that he is always in touch with the outside world, the common person. Is Carville now saying that the President has stopped doing that and instead only relies on folks around him? He is a smart, intelligent man with gifted skills in oratory. Maybe with the press conference, this is the right time for him to finally come out. But I think he should have held his press conference before he went for a fund raising campaign to California. OTOH, his trip to California was successful in that he raised 100,000 dollars per hour. So people are still very supportive of him and his detractors need to take note of that. His detractors will make his going for fund raising an issue while at the same time pushing aside the main purpose of his visit which was to cut the ribbon for a solar cell manufacturing plant which is expected to create a significant amount of energy besides creating a source of energy which is alternative to oil. And while at the plant, he also mentioned about the reopening of a auto plant just 1/2 mile down the road. This auto plant is recalling about 1000 workers back. All very positive news in the backdrop of the spill.
