Of course, there was a little politics around the
President’s June 29 visit of the wild fires.
Colorado is a toss-up state and every visit has a political component.
But, presidents are increasingly involved in natural
disasters, especially after the Katrina hurricane so negatively affected
President Bush. Presidents show national
concern and sympathy for the losses.
They bring disaster relief and recognize workers.
After a bit of initial criticism, the state’s political
establishment came together to welcome the President and federal help. Congressman Lamborn and the mayor of Colorado
Springs, both Republicans, joined the Governor and both U.S. senators,
Democrats, to welcome the President.
