"Oil cleanup workers line Louisiana 1 in Grand Isle on Friday as the motorcade of President Barack Obama passes."

In today's mailbag:

Subject: Message From Grand Isle, Louisiana
I witnessed something yesterday I wanted to share with my friends.
It was disappointing, to say the least, but not at all surprising.  I was in
Grand Isle yesterday when we were visited by our president.  Our street has
about a dozen camps, one permanent resident on it; and yesterday we had a
fair crowd of people.  The first incident that was brought to my attention
was four bus loads of, I guess you could call them workers, was spotted at
the Bridge Side marina and looked as if they had come from New Orleans.  For
you who do not know, Bridge Side is the first marina coming onto Grand Isle
and this is where the buses stopped and the  WORKERS got off.  I later
witnessed not four but five buses pass our street on Hwy 1 going to the end
of the island where our president was to visit.  I made a statement to my
neighbors that they were probably going to stage a scenerio where a large
amount of people were working on our oil spill problem and guess what, I was
right.  Liz and I witnessed this on one of the specials when I got home and
a large number of men had rakes and were dressed in white hazardous suits
working on the beach.  But where did they go; No one had seen these guys
before yesterday and no one can find them now.  I was told WWL is getting
question after question about this today, go figure our leader not being
truthful and staging something like this.
The next thing I really found unusual was that no one cared if he was on the
island.  I later saw 38 cops on motorcycles, yes I did count them, and many
other police vehicles escort what I am sure was the president in his
motorcade of black suburbans.  I was told he landed in Fouchon, about 10
miles from Grand Isle, then was brought to Grand Isle in the motorcade.  I
did see his helicopter and the escorts fly north of us to meet him at the
Coast Guard facility were he spoke.  My point is when he went down Hwy 1,
not one person made an attempt to see him.  There wasn't any one taking
pictures, no one even looking in his direction, no one lining the streets
and waving flags, no one cared.  I really think if it had been any of our
prior presidents, even Clinton, an attempt would have been made to be along
the side of the road and cheer or wave.  It is really sad that this country
is being run by a man that no one likes or has any respect for.  God help us
get through the change.

President Tar Balls

Wow...they're spotless...

oil, oil everywhere??? But not here!!!!

[subterfuge]

What is this, an MC Hammer look-alike contest?

[Diogenesis]

The title is unfair and inaccurate.

That would be Pres_ _ent Tar Balls.

“According to Foreign Policy, thirteen entities that had offered the U.S. oil spill
assistance within about two weeks of the Horizon rig explosion. They were the
governments of Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands,
Norway, Romania, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the
United Nations.
The U.S. response - Thank you, but no thank you, we've got it.
‘..While there is no need right now that the U.S. cannot meet, the U.S. Coast Guard is
assessing these offers of assistance to see if there will be something which we will need
in the near future.’”

Now I know where I saw those guys before

Busing in his own prop-people is his modus operandi.

He doesn't have the support of the locals where he goes for photos ops - he knows it - and buses in his close-camera shot people.

He did this when he when he went to the Kennedy Space Center to talk about his new so-called “Space Program” - which was, basically, Yeah, I know i’m putting most all of you out of work - 7,000 of you - but, hey, “maybe we can go to an asteroid.”

The cameras showed him in a room, with a few people who appropriately applauded. THEY WERE NOT from the Space Center. They came with him

He didn't DARE face the the people at the Space Center. The ‘crowd’ reaction would have been far different.

Jindal seems a little angry in that picture... :)

Photo op cleanup crew, hired for one day. Typical Obungler scheme. Remember when he brought in white gowns for the Doctors to where at the White House Obamacare photo op? Maybe he rents the hazmat suits for the day.

[OriginalChristian]

I’ve got something in mind for a salute for him.
