In the aftermath of the deadly mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport today, Florida Governor Rick Scott spoke to the press to give an update. Scott stated that he reached out to President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence, who let him know they would help him with any assistance from the federal government. However, he also let it be known that he has not spoken with the current President, saying Barack Obama has not reached out to him yet. When pressed by reporters, he stated that he only reached out to Trump and Pence, but not to Obama, and that it was him who initiated the contact with Trump/Pence.

It is Obama’s responsibility to reach out to Scott, not the other way around Mediate.
If Heather can have two mommies, then.....
Actually, we have one President. And it effectively is Trump, not Obama.
I think the FBI, since they keep missing neon blinking flags with jihadis, should not have custody of Santiago. FHP should.
Scott: I’m not going call jOkeass to get his permission to do my duty.
No. We only have one. Trump.
There’s a simple reason for that, Obama sides with the enemy because he’s a crypto-jihadi.
Scott is aware that it's two weeks before Trump and Pence can send him any federal assistance, isn't he?
Who is Obama?
Ha ha. Did the child actually do that after a presser?
Why would anyone reach out to a dead duck?
He’s essentially nothing but rotting road kill laying in the WH.
He can get assistance without talking to someone he doesn’t like? Some may call it being petty?
Scott is totally aware and he also knows that he WILL get help he needs from Trump/Pence which would never arrive from Obama in a million years. 2 weeks is chump change.
Obama could care less about the FLL murder & wounded victims....he (Obama) has a party tonight with his bestie low life, Democrat & celebrity vermin!!!
The Obamas are having a final huge celebrity filled bash tonight I believe.
Malik. He’s pretty cool. But I don’t think he can do much about terrorism in FL.
Isn’t it the President’s duty to contact the governor when there’s a disaster? Does he need an engraved invite?
Anyhow, wouldn’t that be a conflict of interest? The shooter told Anchorage FBI that he’s fixated on ISIS. So is Obama. They’re kindred spirits.
Do you seriously think that just because Trump is not yet President that he can't send aid?
LOL!, I have thought quite often that you haven't been paying attention!
No, it is the other way around. A governor must ask for federal aid.
I remember this vividly because during the Katrina disaster Bush the younger was criticized roundly for not sending aid to a state where the Dem governor had never bothered to request it.
The Dem did shoot his mouth off about not getting any.
Has hussein claimed the FLL shooter as his son yet?
