Perhaps he's too busy with vacations--he has spent 45 % of his time away from the White House.  Gotta get rest at his impaired age & cognitive condition.  Might be concerned about bruising leg & ankles getting up the steps onto the plane. Not a pretty sight to fall (several times).   Might be concerned he's too old to be exposed to fumes from those spilled toxins.  Its killing thousands of fish in local streams, and some animals are sickened, cats, chickens, etc.  As the cleanup is progressing, additional fumes are being released.  Some workers have had illnesses.

Anyhow they're a red-voting state.  Hmmnn.

Oh and don't forget, there's the technical excuse he could use not to go there,  -- its NOT a natural disaster.  No requirement to show any feelings for them.   

But wondering if Biden's got any sympathetic feelings in him-- he laughed at a mother's loss of two sons from fentanyl.

PS  I'd be surprised if anyone in the White House mentioned that technical excuse, --  its so uncaring, negative, blunt and cold towards American citizens who are suffering-- a definite turn off, and potential to backfire.

PPS  Just a spoof posting, so don't get excited, Jim.  Like "The Onion"  or the "Babylon Bee" writes their spoofs.  Or cartoonists doing their thing.
