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 nice dear
Spent the week playing golf and hoops with a Goldman Sachs and UBS banker. Now he’s off, on the weekend 7 Americans have died in Afghanistan, to revisit what happened five years ago during Katrina.
This guy is dirt.
What’s he going to do there? Blame Bush?
Actually, N.O. isn’t nearly as chocolate as it was pre-Katrina. Many of those on the government dole were evacuated to better places and chose not to return.
That’s not a sarcastic remark. Pure truth.
Obama thinks he can stoke the anger of those who feel they deserve MORE - more of what others have worked for...
Zer0 has zer0 commitment to anyplace that doesn't vote 'rat.
The odds on him giving a shout-out to the Coast Guard during Katrina the same as him giving thanks to W for the ‘Surge’.
If statistics are to be believed those “better Places” saw their crime rate skyrocket. That is not sarcastic either.

Wonder how many jobs he is going to destroy while there.
I just listened to a reporter interview a politician in N.O. He ask if there was anything the politician would like for him to ask Obama. The politician said. “yes, ask the president why he has never spent ONE NIGHT in N.O.” LOL
Maybe he’s going to announce lifting the drilling ban to get those guys back to work. /SARC....as if it’s needed.
He has no commitment to anyone. He will be in bed with them for as long as it takes to accomplish whatever nefarious objectives he has in mind; once his agenda has been realized, the relationship is over.
Ding, ding! No more calls, please. We have a winner!
Dullton couldn't pull enough for an Ernest Angsley church service in Kenya, and relied on old, stale 60's chants mingled with "Helloooo DC! and Fired up ?" to get some kind of crowd response ... the one most obvious to me was a female ululating.
"They have the Lincoln Memorial, we have the White House." made me go for BP meds.
Zero is left with a tragedy that he'll probably attempt to blame on the Bush/Cheney weather machine, and anyone that attends will be asking for a job, not giving a rip about a five year old event.
No .. America is ahead now by at least a point over the commies.
It’s almost fun watching the MSM jump into the toilet by trying to take this guy seriously.
