EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama is unlikely to break from a New England vacation to survey flood damage in Louisiana, despite calls for him to visit and meet with responders and victims.

The White House insists Obama is not indifferent to the suffering of thousands who were washed out of their homes in the Baton Rouge and Lafayette areas of the state. At least 13 people have died as a result of the flooding, and at one point 11,000 were in shelters. That number has dropped as water levels have receded.

Why interrupt his golf game when tens of thousands of Louisiana residents have lost their homes and worldly possessions?

Pffftt..he thinks you're a bunch of hicks.

Can we all imagine how the enemy media would react if Bush 43 was still President?

If this flooding took place in Connecticut it would be news around the clock. This is been incredibly under reported and people have absolutely no idea how bad it is in Red Stick.

If we had a GOP POTUS on vacation, ignoring this level of devastation, it would change history.

“Not indifferent?” Well, no more indifferent than Hussein was during the attack on our people in Benghazi!
He was a mistake from the beginning. I mean in Hawaii if that is really where his slut mother slept around.
It will take at least 20 years to recover from his being elected.

That fire out in Cajon Pass isn’t getting much coverage either.

Cajuns and rednecks——meh! And, as jojo biden would say: “One word. Stilt houses.” I’ll bet there are a few people who know what that means.

He believes he can do anything he pleases and he doesn’t have to do a thing to make points any more.. Kings have that privilege.. royalty can sit on their throne and lie to the people.. he’s protected by the democrats, the media, and the republicans..

What the hell is any President going to do? Except get in the way. It was true of Katrina, it’s true today.

Like others before him, Obama is a terrible president. He is narcissist and downright arrogant bastard only interested in what is important to his agenda.

Why should Obama visit the stricken area... his butt boys in the press would never condemn him like they did to Bush... They’re on his side - they’re his team.
