Obama golfs while Louisiana sinks..........

Winfield, you're not supporting Trump, are you?

Simfan, my friend, check my posting history and you will see some very anti Trump postings that I have been making for months.

I have made some very anti Hillary postings as well.

I just happen to believe, however, that Obama should have gotten off the golf course sooner and gone down to Louisiana.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

So by your definition, someone who believes the President should show up personally at one of the most devastating disasters in U.S. history, and give comfort, encouragement and assurance to the victims, is playing the political hack card

THEN DEAL      ME      IN!      (to paraphrase Hillary)

(And I began this discussion a full day before the White House announced that Obama would be going to Louisiana)

AGAIN... because his showing up whilst the disaster is still happening, noting these are floods that take days to peak and recede, not a storm that comes through in a few hours, is more a hindrance for local community actively being affected. He should go, of course, but only when his presence isn't a distraction for the public services that are much more necessary to help their community. Taking those responders away from their primary tasks so he looks good politically is far, far worse.

He's doing what he should be doing. Providing resources and support and only turning up when it isn't counter-productive.

Why does Winfield keep posting the same attack line, even after it's been explained multiple times that Obama was advised to stay away?

[Ebowed]

The difference between Obama and Trump couldn't be more severe.

Obama is cautious, competent, and caring.

Donald Trump paraded down to Baton Rouge to defecate in people's homes before they could return from evacuation.  His despicable running mate has been in the state all day handing out cigarettes to children.

Is that really the sort of failed leadership that Louisiana needs?  No, of course not.

Patience, guys. He's yet to restart.

Now that Obama has finally accepted my advice to go to Louisiana,    this controversial and informative thread will be locked.

Thank you all for your invaluable participation.
