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.

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.
VOTE TRUMP 2016
Why is the Obamanation of Desolation ignoring you? Because your golf course is too wet to play on
I say this gently, and with immense respect for you, but....
.... .you're not getting it. The Bushes are PART OF THE PROBLEM. They are globalist Elitists. They will NEVER come out against Obama, or Hillary. Their only real enemy is Donald Trump.
It was all Kabuki theater. The press pretended to hate the Bushes and the Bushes pretended to dislike being treated like that. It was all performance art.
Witness the fact that the Bushes have never said a harsh word about Obama, and now about Hillary -- no matter how outrageously either behaves! -- but have no problem finding a TV camera and a microphone as regards Trump.
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.
Thanks for posting...Very helpful and informative...Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how all of the aid to states has been doled out over past 8 years as a function of voting constituencies?!
No.
Sometimes his playing golf is a good thing. He can make matters much worse when he leaves the golf course and gets personally involved. Just be careful what we wish for out of this guy.
True leadership is not to be found in his presidency. Occasionally, he looks like he knows how to follow. But most times, we wish he would just give more heed to the final part of this saying, "Lead, Follow or Get the Heck Out Of The Way."
Point well taken.
Lost perspective there for a while, but I’m back to reality again. Thanks.
“The entire Bush family should come out with both guns blazing and shout out the hypocrisy of both big media and obama.”
Now that’s funny! That passel of turds is too busy denigrating Trump and urging Republicans to vote for Hitlar to do that! To my everlasting shame, there was a time when I thought “The Bush Family” were good Americans. Donald Trump has pointed out the error of my ways. “The Bush Family” thinks of the rest of us as “The Help!”
“I remember that absolutely repulsive display of liberal Democrat celebrities that took place following Katrina”
You mean “Chocolate City Ray Nagin,” and William “Cold Cash” Jefferson? You mean those celebrities? I think both of them are currently in jail!
“Because you can’t vote for him again?”
And he has a tee time!
“I believe about 150 people froze to death.”

Where on earth did you get that figure?

Did some checking, and I just remembered wrong. There were at least 35 deaths in Kentucky. Over 500,000 were without power, and over 100,000 were without power for over 1 week. Still a lot of suffering for which the media gave 0bama a pass for not going there.
It’s why I’m here :)

Thanks for the info. That event didn’t seem to get much publicity at all,that’s why I posed the question.
Bruce Jenner gets more coverage than something as awful as that.
Madness.

“The entire Bush family”....
Where have you been?
You will see much more of this arrogant attitude displayed as his term comes to an end.
and then some...Think this D-bag won’t run his suck hole after the Presidency?
You sound a lot like Stalin who said, "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
While no doubt a tragedy, the lady in the wheelchair's death by a hit and run driver is a matter for local authorities and well within their capabilities. When a large scale event such as 9/11, Sandy, etc. exceeds the capabilities of local and state authorities and the resources of the federal government are mobilized, The marshaling, deployment, management and effectiveness of those resources and efforts all fall on the president's desk. People expect leadership and a leader knows he needs to be visible. A real leader will delegate, but he won't punt.
Are you kidding? You think any of the Bushes give a shit one way or the other? Grow up.
How about that.
