Obama won't just buzz the place. He will be on the ground. As far as the wildfires in CA go, he sees that every year at this same time. Showing up doesn't do a thing. Money and resources make a difference, and he is doing al he can to make sure those are delivered. BUT, the situation in LA is so catastrophic that is will likely require additional funding that Congress will have to approve. Good luck on that one.

These right wing nuts who hate Obama know well that the president going down there would drain resources. The president still works on a "vacation". He has people dealing with this who report to him.
