Despite the admonitions which came from politicians, media figures, and wonks on every side of the aisle, President Obama did not visit the border. He played pool, had a beer, turned down some weed, and met with Rick Perry, but he did not go to the scene of the crisis he's manufactured. There was just too much donor cash at stake and - as the President claims - he doesn't like photo-ops. So, once again, no border visit took place.
