Jolly voted for John Bel Edwards, by the way. I've heard good things. Just flying over the area would be insensitive, of course. But, less labor-intensive. |

John Galt, you can try to spin this any way you want, but it won't fly. It's to be expected that the left will make excuses for their candidates and their party, but it would be a good thing if the rank and file liberal/leftist/democrat would stop regurgitating it. The facts are that when Obama was running against Bush, he attacked Bush for not going *immediately* to the scene of Katrina. When he did that, all the leftwing democrat bobble heads rushed out to carry his water, vilifying Bush for not going fast enough. Now we have a situation that's just as bad, and the bobble heads are busy telling us how it's a bad thing to go - and quoting democrat propagandists' articles to justify the hypocrisy. Your dear leader Obama is yucking it up on the golf course, and hasn't even bothered to pick up a damned phone and make a statement, much less go. Another fact is, the people who live down there and are suffering from this disaster are almost unanimous in their opinion that Obama can kiss their asses, and that they appreciate Trump taking the time to visit and bring attention to their plight. And your "dear leader in waiting" - just like always, she issues a short one or two sentence "I feel your pain/someone ought to do something" poll driven, scripted, written for her by somebody else statement, and then ran off to meet with Obama at a fund raiser. When are you democrats going to stop defending your party - a party that has failed at EVERY idea they've ever put into motion, and whose only success has been the way it has managed to brainwash its followers in this way? |

Yes . . . what's he supposed to do, swim around going "tsk-tsk"? That's why there are phones. If the federal response is strong and effective -- a big if, I know -- then Louisiana can make better use of FEMA than they can of the President. Does anyone know how much state resources need to go into a Presidential visit? For all we know, Obama talked to the Louisiana people and it was decided LA was too busy to deal with the circus BS of a Prez visit. On the other hand, golfing seems a bit in-your-face. |

People only ever complain about the President taking a vacation when they don't like him. It's a universal thing. It's always struck me as a bit stupid. Anybody can see what the stress of being in charge does to people. I've never understood why anybody with an ounce of sanity would want the job. Presidents may be many things, but lazy isn't one of them. |

Indeed, the Louisiana Governor is concerned that a Presidential visit might divert valuable resources from relief efforts to president security detail, and said that he's hoping the POTUS would give them a week or two before visiting.

Imagine what would have been said if right after the 9-11 attack, the president had merely made a phone call. Instead, he showed up - state resources were spent. Time was taken up that could have been spent on something else. He created a "circus". But in doing so, he rallied the American people, from New York City to the Mexican border, to shift into action. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense to attempt to portray this in any other way than it is - Obama is busy playing golf, he isn't running for office, and he doesn't give a damn. If he had "talked to the Louisiana people" someone in the press would be throwing it up in our faces - they're not. This "look at how much it would have cost for him to come" business is crap. |

I remember during Obama's first term, somebody in the media kvetched because Obama spent 72 HOURS golfing last year! 72 HOURS! (Or whatever it was, I don't remember.) Just for snicks I computed it, and it turns out to amount to something like one golf game a week. What sounded like a frickin hanging offense in this guy's article was actually reasonable break time away from the desk. |

And if he had gone down there and rolled up his sleeves and helped the locals, your truth-tellers would have accused him of showboating and winning sympathy for the party. |

That was sarcasm, Larry. To wit: If it's the party line that you so admire, then it's "truth". If it shows even a slightest deviation from what you choose to believe, then it's idiots and left-wing bobbleheads and what-all other insults you dream up. |

Cats, all that might be true if the guy and his party hadn't kvetched as they did about Bush and Katrina. |
