I would have to concur with BeldarBlog
If you “get” the President, if you understand what drives him, then this is so much in character that you say to yourself afterwards, “Duh, I shoulda expected him to want to eat his Thanksgiving turkey with the troops, and I wish I coulda been there.”
I consider The Visit to be something fully within the President’s personality and character. However, since his pesonality is part of what rubs the left the wrong way, I expect that this trip will annoy them greatly.
