In the wake of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, Rick Scott received phone calls from George W. Bush and Donald Trump, the Republican governor of Florida said Tuesday. He's still waiting on a call from President Barack Obama, however.
Speaking to Brian Kilmeade on "Fox & Friends" from Orlando, Florida, Scott shared details of both calls. During his call with the 43rd president, Scott said Bush told him that he and former first lady Laura Bush "were praying for us, and anything he could do, he would love to be helpful."
As far as Obama is concerned, Scott said, "He has not called us."
"A staffer has called, but no, he has not called," Scott added, after Kilmeade noted that Obama "was talking about guns yesterday," speculating that the president would talk more about that angle during his visit to the city scheduled for Thursday.
Trump also called him, the governor added. "He called to just ask how I was doing, you know, like everybody else is praying for us," Scott said of the presumptive Republican nominee, whom he endorsed following his victory in the state's March primary.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Because the governor is a Republican and the murdered was a muslim.
Good politics, if you can't help but gloat, don't go there...

Note that in the article, Gov Scott previous asked Obama if he would share vetting information with Scott for refugees entering Florida and Obama said "no." Unbelievable.
Unbelievable?
Hardly.
EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Attacks Christianity
e) Serves islam
f) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
There are
NO counter examples.

Two takeaways for me:
a) It’s refreshing to not see a Governor prostrating himself for federal cash in the wake of a tragedy (Christy).
b) In the world of men, I don’t think you can get much smaller than Obama.

You are correct, of course.
My incredulity must have been due to a momentary lapse of sanity.;-)

Naturally. Scott is a Republican. What a petty little “man” the resident of the White Hut is.

Unbelievable how Obama focuses only on Left Wing politics and not the good of our country.
Totally believable. He hates this country and wishes tho who oppose him be dead.

Correction: Governor Rick Scott is a Republican who wants to make Florida a better place through conservatism. That's why Soetoro hates him.

Obama did not call the governor. But Trump did. And apparently Hildebeeste did not.

With all the troubles Florida has, they don’t need the Terrorist in Chief calling them.
