President Barack Obama dismissed criticism that he spent too much time golfing on his Martha’s Vineyard vacation instead of visiting Louisiana after devastating historic flooding in the state.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump traveled to the site of the damage and met with some of the victims last week before the White House announced plans for the president to make his own visit.
When Obama was asked by reporters if he was concerned about candidates politicizing disasters, he replied, “No I don’t.”
“First of all, one of the benefits of being five months short of leaving here is I don’t worry too much about politics,” Obama added.
He then praised Washington D.C. politicians for working together to help the victims.
“I guarantee you, nobody on this block, none of those first responders, nobody gives a hoot whether you are a Democrat or a Republican,” he said.
Obama praised FEMA manager Craig Fugate for handling the many natural disasters during his presidency.
“I could not be prouder about the work that FEMA has done,” Obama said, calling their work “high quality.”
He urged all Americans not to criticize the federal government, and pointed to their success on the ground in Louisiana.
“There’s a tendency for us sometimes to bash them and think that they are these faceless bureaucrats but when you get into trouble, you want somebody who knows what they are doing,” he said.

Doing what he does best - lying.
“First of all, one of the benefits of being five months short of leaving here is I don’t worry too much about politics,” Obama added. “
From this pronouncement, you just know its killing him.
Is there still enough room left under the Baraq bus for PIAPS to fit?
No sense of responsibility or feeling of leadership BUT sense of entitlement? Plentiful!
“One of the benefits of being 5 months short of leaving here is I really don’t give a crap about anything”
IOW, Obama's view of his mission as President is it is all about Obama. We all know that since he has totally trashed his oath of office to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Like you did when Bush was president.
“No I don’t.”
Except when you were the candidate bashing Bush about Katrina, right Barry?

What a stupid thing for Obama to say. He really does not care at all and doesn’t even care enough to hide it.
DB.
He never gave a shi’ite about anybody but himself and
now he doesn’t have to pretend to anymore.
One one hundredth of a second. Wow.
We should get married.
Although the First lady might have a problem with that...

Was there an enthusiastic crowd? The video i saw were him talking...and talking.
statements about caring about the life and well-being of the masses is just a pretext for power hungry libtards to get elected, and giving away "free stuff" is how they buy elections
Did his lap dog lackeys then laugh uproariously then applaud him?
