Visit and highlight...but leave the work to the real workers who work at it day and night.

It sends a good message though, and it's utterly harmless while bringing attention to a worthwhile cause. Would this cause have gotten this coverage were it not for Biden? No, it wouldn't, so if a photo op brings attention to causes and potentially nets them more volunteers and/or donations to keep up the good work then I just don't see the problem here.

He didnt have to be there..especially when him being there will basically have slowed that particular centred operation down for a whole day..therefore people will have had to wait longer for the parcel, all for the sake if a quick photo op.

He could easily have stayed away and mentioned it in one of his speeches so the operation was not interrupted.
