Does the MSM have any STRAIGHT men working for them?
President Barack Obama gave a short statement regarding his administration’s efforts to deal with the Tropical storm Isaac, which is expected to become a hurricane.
However, is the President’s effort sufficient in the eyes of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal?
Jindal openly criticized the President on Monday for failing to respond to the entire request for Isaac relief.

Monday night, from Governor Jindal’s press office:
Following a very limited federal disaster declaration by the President of the United States that only granted a portion of the state’s request, Governor Bobby Jindal sent a letter to the federal government requesting a full disaster declaration for the state.
The White House issued a release today which states that “the declaration builds on resources already deployed by FEMA and makes Federal funding available for certain emergency activities undertaken by the state to prepare for and respond to the storm.” However, the limited declaration does not provide for reimbursement of expenses that the state is taking to prepare for the storm.
