Well, you’ve got to give credit where credit is due. Gov. Edwards put his state before politics. Good for him.

I agree. There were no politics in Governor Edwards’ comments.

The Governor's claim doesn't hold water. Obama couldn't get to New Jersey fast enough when there was political gains to be had from a tour foo the affected areas.

In fact, if anything, the Louisiana Governor is politicizing the disaster by making excuses for Obama's callousness towards the people of his state.

I hear this refrain constantly but am divided here. Personally, I’m for just ignoring the leftists when they do something “right.” Yes I know, this will not be appreciated.

Bull. He told Trump to stay home. This guy flipped AFTER Trump’s visit.

“Gov. Edwards put his state before politics”

You’re giving him too much credit. I read his remarks before Trump got there and it was a pure partisan hack attack. When he saw the response Trump got, and the donation Trump made, he had to pivot.

Don’t give any credit to Governor “Honor Code” Edwards. He didn’t want Trump coming down (because he knew it would look bad for his party) and said as much, he gave excuses as to why Obama wouldn’t come down (even though Obama was in New Jersey getting hugs from Christy almost before the winds of Sandy had died down) and the only reason he’s backtracking now is he’s beginning to feel the wrath of the people of this great state who are now solidly behind Trump. He’s a politician and a democrat, no more needs to be said about that idiot.

With the election for governor we had a choice between Edwards and a flawed David Vitter. I held my nose and voted for Vitter. As this flood unfolded it was clear that Governor Edwards was the man for the job. As he took to the local airways he gave the people of Louisiana reassurance that they were doing everything possible to keep people out of harm’s way. He is puts the people before politics. This ex marine is a good man. I’d vote for him next election.
