President Photo Op Does It Again

I saw this on Talking Points Memo.

NBC Anchor Brian Williams blog:

Friday morning (power) line

I am duty-bound to report the talk of the New Orleans warehouse district last night: there was rejoicing (well, there would have been without the curfew, but the few people I saw on the streets were excited) when the power came back on for blocks on end....

And yet last night, no more than an hour after the President departed, the lights went out. The entire area was plunged into total darkness again, to audible groans. It's enough to make some of the folks here who witnessed it... jump to certain conclusions.

Power for photo ops, no power for storm victims. Good thing Karl Rove is running the recovery, he's right on top of the important things as usual.

That is so typical and politically tone deaf I can't imagine someone doing that - i hope that gets great coverage on the daily show!
