If Obama is smart, he will not respond to the RNC this week. Instead concentrate on the Gulf.

He should be in the situation room right now planning a full fledged relief effort to the Gulf Coast as soon as the Issac passes. Let the news show the Republicans lying in Tampa while they see what a real leader does in response to a disaster. He won't sit in a classroom for 7 minutes or stand on the tarmac singing Happy Birthday.
Remind Americans (who i don't think are even paying attention to the convention) that the last Repub. in the White House was a total fuck up.
Let his actions speak louder than any words the this week.
