Louisiana probably doesn't care any more for trickle up epidemics than North Korea does.

In comments sure to cascade into regional races across the South, embattled Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) told NBC's Chuck Todd on Thursday that Southern racism is to blame for President Barack Obama's unpopularity.
"Why does President Obama have a hard time in Louisiana?" asked Todd.
“Let me be very, very honest with you," said Landrieu. "The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."
Landrieu added: “It has not always been a good place for women, to be able to present ourselves. It’s more of a conservative place. So we’ve had to work a little bit harder on that. But, you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really, they do.”

Let’s ask Nunn (GA) and Hagan (NC) for comment... POPCORN!
Landrieu, still trying to keep those African Americans on the plantation and voting Demoncrat I see.
She exposed herself as a typical left-wing Democrat.
She got where she is because of the name, and at the time she was good looking. Still has the name that, as time goes by, becomes less and less important.
Doesn’t have the looks anymore. Frankly, she reminds me of a Democrat party chew toy that has had to do, and put up with and support all manner of Dem actions that have ended up hurting her constituents.
How is there any of the dead horse left to beat?
Yes I saw that
Senator babyfat is desperate and grasping at straws.
As Mark Levin stated the other night on his radio program, it’s the Democrats that are being racist. They don’t want Obama coming near them, don’t won’t him in their state, don’t want him campaigning for them. A case could be made that it’s because he’s black. But the GOP doesn’t know how to fight so they’ll never go there. I hope more than a few blacks are finally starting to figure things out about the Democrat party.
Cries of racism. The last refuge of scoundrels Moon Landreaus baby girl is toast
Amusing seeing all these pathetic white liberals depending on the black vote and doing their best to gin it up. These racism charges are Landrieu’s effort to get out the black votes. The white vote is probably negative for her. She loses the the white vote
DESPERATE HONKIE!!!
Yes, the problem is racism: Barack Obama’s racism.
Well it MUST be racism. It simply CANNOT be because he’s an incompetent, America-Hating, muslim-loving, girly-man doofus who is waaaaayyyyyy in over his head?
“The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans.”
Of course it hasn’t. There was a time when it wasn’t but that was a long time ago.
Amen, sis. Especially when DemocRATS ran things. Am I right, Bull Connor? Orville Faubus? William Fulbright? Up high! Uhhhhhhh, wait. Down low.

That was back when the South wasn't the friendliest place for Republicans either. Lester Maddox was a democrat, George Wallace was a democrat, Bull Conner was a democrat, Bull Conner's dogs were democrats, every Ku Kluxer who ever soiled a sheet was a democrat. The Klan was the muscle arm of the democrat party, and about a quarter of the lynching victims were white, often white Republicans lynched for being too helpful to would-be black voters. If Little Miss Mary wants to bring up the history, bring it on.
