From: "Mark" 

Yes, he'll be there on Wednesday "for the *progressively derided*
photo op." If he was there yesterday it would be played as a
progressively derided: "moron visits, disrupts rescue efforts." 
And if he goes there next year and ceremoniously hands out a check for any
amount of dollars less than one trillion, it'll be banner headlines:
"Chimp is Cheap, fucks over the red states royally, while wearing a
white tie."

Subheading in newspaper: Obama helps Kansas farmers sow seeds, promises
more cash for 50 years and will bring NG home by spring."
