Louisiana Flood Victims: Why Is Obama Ignoring Us?
Townhall.com ^ | August 20, 2016 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 08/20/2016 4:59:06 AM PDT by Kaslin

In 2005 President Bush was rebuked by Democrats for his handling of Hurricane Katrina.

President Obama scored some cheap political points -- blasting President Bush for his flyover of the devastation in New Orleans.

Well, at least President Bush paid a visit.

That's a lot more than what President Obama has done for the people of Baton Rouge and other parts of southeastern Louisiana.

Some 40,000 homes are under water - a countless number left homeless - many without flood insurance.

And even though the waters have begun to recede, President Obama has not set foot in the Bayou State.

Will the media outlets ever be held responsible for their double-standard propaganda tactics?

The entire Bush family should come out with both guns blazing and shout out the hypocrisy of both big media and obama.

The first step in putting the media in their place is to publicly point out what irresponsible hypocrites they are.

At least Bush was back in his office after being in Texas. If he had vacationed on the golf course in Martha’s Vineyard for a week during Katrina, the Democrat media would have been calling for his impeachment. They shouldn’t wonder that people hate the media.

“why is Obama Ignoring Us?”

Why? Because he no longer has any need of you, that’s why. He’s basically giving the good people The Finger, and tangentially, the rest of the country as well. Now you know how he really feels....

Why ask? He doesn’t care about you. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, his “legacy” and his agenda. He’s not running for re-election, and his Clinton support is merely lip service.

I blame the media for creating the impression that (a) the President needs to “care” about natural disasters and (b) visits from politicians are anything but a diversion of resources from a better use.

It would be a negative factor in the situation if Obama went there, not a positive. He and his entourage would be in the way. It makes no difference whether he cares: neither intense personal compassion nor utter indifference nor even deep malicious glee is of any USE.

Remember in 2009, the power failure in Kentucky during the winter? Tens of thousands of people were without heat, and had to seek shelter in schools, etc.. I believe about 150 people froze to death. 0bama said nothing, neither did he go there. The media gave him a pass on that as well. I’m guessing it’s because Kentucky and Louisiana are pretty reliable republican states.

In about six months he’s out the door so he doesn’t give a rats a** what any one thinks. You will see much more of this arrogant attitude displayed as his term comes to an end.

My, and I remember that absolutely repulsive display of liberal Democrat celebrities that took place following Katrina. Apparently, the local authorities after a short while told these people to leave since they and their entourages were putting very unnecessary demands on security and other important resources needed by the locals.

You good, loyal, proud, dedicated Americans in Louisiana mean nothing at all to both POTUS, Obama & Hillary Clinton. You are either dumb Southerners, idiot rednecks, racial bigots, useless, lazy African-Americans. You folks should feel honored......Obama & Clinton cannot stand White or Black Folks. You all nothing but low lifes, beneath their elite, so-called dignity, and are to be treated like the useless beings you are. Shucks, golf for Obama, and birthday parties for Billy Boy Clinton outrank you...by a long shot!!! Go figure!!!

Donald J. Trump for POTUS!!! Make America Great Again, DJT!!!

B. Obama does not care about Americans except thugs and those of Muslim faith since these are the only ones he has shown interest in, like the clock boy.

B. Obama also does not like this country. For example, he dragged his feet regarding the oil spill a few years ago. But when it comes to admitting Syrian invaders or other undesirables to this country, he is quick to act.

Saw a clip of Trump in Baton Rouge - a woman stopped by and told him that at least he wasn't out golfing....

Obama's gonna take a lot of guff from them when he tries to ride in and tell them how much he loves and cares for them....

Disasters in predominantly white flyover country are of no interest to our B-tard pResident. Going there would be viewed as an “Uncle Tom” move.

“Will the media outlets ever be held responsible for their double-standard propaganda tactics?”

In a word? No.
