President Obama will visit Louisiana on Tuesday in the wake of severe flooding in the state, the White House has announced.

At least 13 people have died and tens of thousands have been displaced by the floods. The White House said in a statement that Obama has received regular updates on the situation while on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, and has worked with Louisiana officials to determine the best time to visit and decided on the Tuesday trip to Baton Rouge. “The President is mindful of the impact that his travel has on first responders and wants to ensure that his presence does not interfere with ongoing recovery efforts,” the statement reads. “He is also eager to get a first-hand look at the impact of the devastating floods, hear from more officials about the response, including how the federal government can assist.”

President elect Trump already beat him to it. What’s left for the golfer to do?

You can be sure he’s gonna’ go down there and give a BS speech about how this was caused by man made climate change and we need to pony up billions more dollars and cripple our industry. Remember, “They NEVER let a crisis go to waste”

Why should Obozo really care about his legacy? He is a truly successful president considering that it was his intention to destroy this nation in 8 years.

Early on, Obama was warned to stay away from water hazards.

I am assuming you mean on the golf course only.

On his watch of almost 8 years, a canal should have been finished to divert that water!

O is waiting for the waters to recede. Wouldn’t want to get his golf shoes wet, would he?

Perhaps he should stay away and just play with hit Putter and his balls.

Be-Baw: Bad joke for you.

A Minister got up one Sunday morning and decided to go food shopping early. After wandering thru the supermarket for a while, he found himself at the fresh fish section.

For a moment he just looked at the fish laid out dead in rows on ice with their eyes and mouths wide open.

Then, all of a sudden, he said out loud, “Oh my God, I’m supposed to be giving a sermon right now”.
