President Obama to visit Baton Rouge

In the article from Washington Post, it talks about how the GOP has criticized President Obama for not visiting Baton Rouge after record floods immediately, and instead staying on vacation. He is set to visit Tuesday. Donald Trump visited last Friday, asking for more national attention for the situation. The reasoning Obama used was that he didn't want to use resources their to take away from the clean up and rescue actions, like having police officers protect him instead of saving people. Trump taking early action into Louisiana probably helped his campaign greatly.
