Good question. Why isn’t Obama being pilloried, the way Bush was lambasted by liberals and the media over Hurricane Katrina????

Posted this earlier in a mostly dead thread. Anyone have any news on this?

"Just checked the LSU fall schedule and orientation for various categories of students has been going on last week and this week. A 31,000 student campus and classes start Monday the 22nd.

Most students would normally be on campus at this point. Anyone heard any news about how the flood might have affected the LSU campus?"

John Bel signed over authority to the Feds right away. During Katrina Kathleen let the people die in order to make a political statement

[HangUpNow]

But...but...According to the Media and Democrats, homeless/drowned white lives DON'T matter!

The demonic regime and it's propaganda ministry are absolute disgraces.

[Ingtar]

I believe this is true, even if the Red Cross is the source.

[HangUpNow]

Presidential.

Remind me about the media and how it got down of G W Bush after Katrina........Oh, that was deserved because Bush was a Republican President and the Democrats in the state wanted to make this a political issue. This is a Democratic President involved with the same state's natural disaster and a Democratic Governor not wanting to make it a political issue.

Obama playing golf at least keeps him from signing bad laws or bad executive orders.

[null and void]

Obama's response?

[Captain Peter Blood]

In truth it may the worst since the 1927 Flood.

[HangUpNow]

Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) = Jealous Drama Queen who doesn't give a rat's s*** about the people of LA.

Trump showed up. MEANWHILE where's the punk Edwards' snide comment about 0bama conspicuous absence? (OH WAIT)

[mothball]

I don’t believe it got any flooding out there. My daughter lives by the campus.

[Henchster]

The White House released this statement by the President regarding the devastating destruction in Louisiana:

Fore!

[eyeamok]

I read the article, but it doesn’t say exactly why President Obama used Bush’s weather machine to try and KILL ALL THOSE BLACKS in Louisiana!!!!

[DarthVader]

I agree and this little episode will bite Bel Edwards in the ass like like it did to Blanco.

Both LSU and the Federal Courts are planning to be back on a full schedule starting Monday; the University was closed Monday and Tuesday of this week, as I understand primarily because of staffing issues:

LSU will be partially open Wednesday through Friday:

Intersession term will continue.
The Hebert Law Center and School of Veterinary Medicine will open for classes Wednesday, but all other academic units will be closed including Middleton and Hill Memorial Libraries.
Deans’ offices and the Office of Academic Affairs will be open.
The Lab School and Child Care Center will remain closed through Sunday, Aug 21.
All other employees will be contacted by their supervisors if they are required to report to work.

Thanks for that link but it says “live feed interrupted”. Too bad - I would like to see this covered and youtube is the best mode for the live coverage.

Very little media attention on this disaster. Trump being there will bring attention and donations. Does the Governor not want people to learn about flooding and donate?
