VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. — President Barack Obama is aiming to underscore his commitment to a region weary of calamity as he travels to New Orleans on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Obama ends his Martha's Vineyard vacation Sunday and heads to the Gulf, five years to the day from when Katrina roared ashore in Louisiana. Eighty percent of New Orleans was flooded when the storm tore through protective levees.

That’s what happens when the media constantly kisses his ass and kicks his feet, he really thinks he is God. He bought into his own hype

Instead of 9/11 how about making Katrina a day of service instead of a day of blame? As in next time, “Get off your asses and help yourselves and each other instead of waiting on the feds!”

“He said it was Bush’s fault and a year after Katrina, because he (Obama) visited it, he is the “symbol of hope”.”

I didn’t realize Louisiana was so doomed. I guess there was no hope until Obama became president. Talk about the rooster taking credit for the sunrise!

Yep. He blamed the Government for the “failures of Government” while praising himself for visiting New Orleans a year after but he conveniently forgot to mention, he was a part of the failed Government.

After blaming Bush and firing up some racial tensions, maybe The Mooch and Zero can meet up with Looty and have a beer summit down on Bourbon Street.

Obama’s message is to New Orleans is clear.. “You can’t make it on your own.. You need the Federal Government to save you” Two Huge Lies!

-—”Has Obama said anything about MLK this weekend?”

Nope, President Narcissus thinks he IS the “new & improved MLK.”

Narcissus and the Obamacrats certainly won’t miss yet another photo-op in “Katrina” to rub more salt into GWB’s legacy.

(Yes, they ought to rename N.O. to “Katrina” just to rub it in).

obama acts like a man without a country. The United States of America is UNWILLING to allow him to make it into HIS country. And so he wanders from location to location, in his expensive gypsy wagon with wings on it, looking for adoration and complete obedience, and finding it not.

obama is the substance I scrape off the sole of my shoe.

I’ve been to the Cafe du Monde , and I can tell you Michelle Obama could not drag herself there for even a FIVE minute visit. We’re talking about a woman who just,on our dime, rented 60 rooms at a luxurious Resort in Spain.
Queens don’t go to that Cafe unless they’re gay queens who’ve just performed in the French Quarter.

Since he didn’t bother showing up in Nashville during their floods, we can realize that Duh-bama really hates white people.

Well he WAS the product of the 57th state, child of uncle that liberated Auschwitz and son of mother who kept him in the womb for five years plus nine more months timed perfectly for the Selma march.
