IF it was all hitting the fan w/o Federal support, then it would be a huge deal. Like Spence indicated, the proper steps seem to have been taken...

In one breath, the economy is the biggest deal. All other issues should be put on the back burner. In the next breath, "The President isn't doing enough for this small town," and this is after the announcement of the Army Corp of Engineers being dispatched, systems being in place to find volunteers and resources being allocated to the area. Apache helicopters are being used to transport 1-ton bags of sand to reinforce week areas of the wall - seems pretty obvious that the federal government is doing something.
The crazy part is that they're actually being proactive as opposed to reactive. Maybe Obama should be talking about Bush's failings.
Obama also isn't on some publicity stunt to fly into the area and "survey the damage," which would accomplish nothing but hindering progress, just as it did when Bush went to New Orleans.
