FORT BLISS, Texas -- President Obama was planning to visit storm-stricken Louisiana before GOP rival Mitt Romney announced his plans, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One Friday morning.
Romney's campaign announced his trip to New Orleans -- he is touring areas hit by Hurricane Isaac this afternoon -- hours before the White House announced Obama would cancel a planned Monday campaign event in Cleveland to divert to Louisiana.
Carney offered no details about where in Louisiana Obama would travel during his Monday trip.
"In terms of the President's travel, obviously when you're president of the United States, coordinating travel carries with it I think unique logistical challenges," Carney said. "And it was the assessment of the president's team, working with all the people involved in operations as well as people on the ground that Monday would be -- was a good day for the president to visit."
He actually said that??
What an a**hole....
5.56mm
Carney “The President thought of going first!, hah...hah..!”
Obama says to me...I'm going to Louisiana...ehhhh last month...yeah last month, cause he sees the storm formimg off Africa. Hmmmmm no WAS after the Summer Olympics...cause he knows the party needs to continue...yeah
So Obama has AF1 flight plans for LA....after the Queen gave him his knighthood...yah ..that's the ticket!!!

We own this country Politicians are employees of ours
And when somebody does not do the job,
.. weve got to let them go
It wasnt until after Romneys visit that Obama changed his schedule. Obama will be visiting Louisiana on Monday, and he canceled political rallies he had scheduled during that time in Ohio until Friday afternoon to go to Louisiana.
Exactly what I was thinking. What a childish response coming from Carney.
Carney is a child.
I believe the entire Dem party has gone around the bend.
Now they claim they ALWAYS planned for a 3-day convention rather than a 4-day convention.
Maybe they aren’t as smart as they tell us they are. Their lies are transparent, and they lie about things that don’t matter to anyone, except in their tiny little minds. It’s as tho the mindset is ‘never tell the truth because it might be used against you.’ As if the lies won’t -
If GW was still President all the MSMers would be calling it, Bush Katrina part 2.
Funny how they not blaming Obama for people on roof tops etc
Aside from being a big liar about the plans for the trip being already scheduled .. the trip to the Southern states was never planned by Obama BECAUSE .. they were all REPUBLICAN STATES - with Republican Governors, and Obama didn’t want to help them.
If you don’t vote for him .. you don’t get NUTHIN!!!!
What a disgrace !!!
The real disgrace .. a lot of the people in the states hit by Isaac were black and did vote for him and still he didn’t have the character to care for them.
That’s a double disgrace !!!!!
