‘Consoler in Chief’

The Washington Post calls President Obama our “Consoler-in-Chief” in this morning’s paper. The president is heading to Oklahoma this Sunday to be with the victims of the devastating tornado that wreaked havoc on the state. The Post says his “national itinerary of woe” is a relatively new role for the president, “one that reflects not just the emphasis on an ability to communicate and express empathy, but also an increase in power to direct the federal government to assist in recovery.”
