"The White House says the visit is official business — not campaign-related, although the distinction is not always clear. Obama will speak to troops and have a round-table discussion with service members and military families, the White House said.
Unbelievable. Just as he “wasn’t watching” the RNC, only to be caught posting a photo of a chair at 12:30 a.m., every statement they put out is nothing but lies. If EmptyChair had any intention on visiting Louisiana he would have stopped off on his way to Texas.
The only reason he’s now putting it off until Monday is to try to distance the fact that his trip is nothing more than a “Me too” moment.
Big deal. Just go down and check the place out. Lousiana got a bunch of money from the federal government and was begging for more. I am sure they will be fine without either of them going. I can’t believe with 16 trillion in debt these two jerks are worried about who gets where first.
“obviously when you’re president of the United States, coordinating travel carries with it I think unique logistical challenges,” Carney said. “
Yeah.
Ordering bubble wrap so the damn chair can be shipped south is hard to do on short notice...
If Obama had really planned to visit Louisiana ... a state he cannot win ... he would be doing it today on his way to Texas.
They’re such liars!
This AM @ around 0915 or so, Chris Plante WMAL AM 630 Washington DC had said Romney was going to NOLA, BO was headed to Ft Bliss - Plante threw in the ‘fact’ that from WashDC to Ft Bliss BO would be able to do a ‘fly over’ of NO and then would go on to FT Bliss for a ‘photo op’.
He then ‘wondered’ what excuse the regime would use as no one bought GW Bush’s of not going to NO so as not to get in the way of the rescuers....
He’s probably not lying.
In about April of 2009 Obama told his staff, “when there is another hurricane in NOLA, I will go.....I will be there for the people”

Junior O’Daniel: We could hire our own midget, even shorter than his.
Pappy O’Daniel: Wouldn’t we look like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies, bragging on our own midget, doesn’t matter how stumpy.
I would love to know who the loud mouth handlers are for Romney. He should have just showed up there and when questioned, answered: We just wanted to show up and support the people of the State of Louisiana and the affected areas without making it a big deal. It is afterall about the people and not the news story.
All that happens while obama has his hand out in Texas someplace.
Would have been classic to see how fast they could have gotten AF1 in the air.
What a bunch of liars.
“President Barack Obama was today forced to announce he will fly to storm-hit Louisiana on Monday – hours after Mitt Romney beat him to the punch by deciding to head there this afternoon.”
Mr Carney, YOU LIE!
The Prevaricator in Chief has spoken.

Excellent, excellent read:

So many good points .... here’s one:
Yet he is still nothing more than a small man — so afraid people will see — a man loath to allow those who would dare the freedom to do what they have always been free to do — pre-Barack, of course. He knows better, because after all, he knows best. It’s always the pretentiously petite and the intellectually bankrupt who scream the loudest and profess to have all the ideas — just don’t ask them what those ideas are.
A realization of reality, a lack of self-confidence, a metaphorical mirror affording him the opportunity to see who he really is, has manifested itself in the manifold narcissism we see in our child king today — for he is nothing, if not our savior. He understands nothing — he sees nothing. It’s about him. It’s always been about him, despite what he says. We are merely pawns in his quest to be recognized as the greatest man to have ever lived — the one. The oceans will cease to rise, and the planet will begin to heal, because they must...
This is so transparent it’s embarrassing to even watch.
When Obama gets the 3am call he’ll be able to get on Air Force One and head to Offutt for safety 3 days later. But Mitt Romney will already be there when the supposed POTUS arrives.
lol.
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They’re tyrin’ to wash us away
They’re tryin’ to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They’re tryin’ to wash us away
They’re tryin’ to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, “Little fat man isn’t it a shame what the river has
done
To this poor crackers land.”
CHORUS
When his term is over his mother will be washing his mouth out with soap for a year for all the lies he’s told......
