President Obama will travel to Oklahoma on Sunday to inspect the damage from Monday's deadly tornado, which left two dozen people dead, and meet with victims from the ravaged communities, the White House announced on Wednesday.
The president will reprise his role as chief comforter during a trip that comes after similar visits in recent months to New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy, Connecticut after the Newtown school shooting, Boston after the marathon bombing and Texas after a fertilizer plant explosion.
Mr. Obama will “see firsthand the response to the devastating tornadoes and severe weather that have impacted the area on Sunday night and Monday,†said Jay Carney, the White House spokesman.
