Last year it took Barack Obama a week before he visited Joplin, Missouri after a deadly tornado killed at least 139 people.

Obama posed for pictures then boarded an aircraft for Joplin.
While in Joplin he took a brief tour of the town in his car.
He then spoke briefly with tornado victims for about 10 minutes.
Then he gave a short speech at Missouri Southern University.
Then he got the hell out of there… After pausing for a few pictures.
Well, Barack Obama is heading back to Joplin today. He’s going to speak at the high school commencement. It will make for a good photo op.
