Why has Obama not visited Fort Hood?

Liberals criticized Bush for flying over New Orleans during Katrina. Where is the outrage for Obama, the Commander-In-Chief of our military, not visiting Fort Hood?

Update:

The crisis is over? Really? Not for our men and woman on that base and their families. Your argument doesn't hold any water.

Update 2:

No, you settle down. Do most people know that the official procedure for the handling of Katrina was for it to be handled at the local level first? Did you argue that it was not Bush's job to visit New Orleans and that other things were his job?

    Obama would rather not "jump to conclusions" and show support for his soldiers

    Settle down...he will be attending the memorial services for the dead...With everything going on at Hood right now, a visit from the President would only be a distraction from the investigation that is going on...Let law enforcement do their job, and let Obama do his. As you well know, there is alot going on in Congress this weekend with the healthcare bill....

    Because the crisis is over?

    We criticized Bush for not responding DURING the crisis, not after it.
