Same as Memphis, it’s blue, while the rest of Shelby Co is red.
Governor Phil is counting the days till November, then some one else can have the job.
I read that of 99 Tennessee counties, 52 were under water. If that is true the problem went far beyond whatever the particular demographics of Nashville are. My question, though, is did the media ignore TN because Obama did, or did Obama ignore TN because the media did?
They get more agenda mileage out of leaking oil than shattered lives and broken people.
“Not a peep from Barry or the regime. But the people of Kentucky put matters in their own hands and did just fine.”
I think we have a tendency, because we totally despise Obama and everything that he stands for, to overlook some of the things that actually have been done in the face of regional disasters. It stands to reason that no administration could possibly get away with simply ignoring areas in desperate circumstances. I can’t speak to what is being or not being done in Tennessee, but there did seem to be an effort made in the case of Kentucky.
