DETROIT -- Commenting for the first time on the lead contamination in the drinking water of Flint, Mich., President Obama said Wednesday that he "would be beside myself" if he were a parent in the city.
Mr. Obama said that in a White House meeting on Tuesday with Flint's mayor, Karen Weaver, "I told her that we are going to have her back, and all of the people of Flint's back, as they work their way through this terrible tragedy."
The long-running crisis, which has poisoned dozens of Flint residents, at least, and left tens of thousands of others unsure about what ill effects they may have had, "is a reminder of why you can't shortchange basic services that we provide to our people, and that we, together, provide as a government," Mr. Obama said. He did not wade into the blame-laying and finger-pointing that have occupied much of Michigan politics since the contamination became public knowledge last fall.

Who is the Mayor of Flint?
Maybe Baraq should invite him to a “beer summit”
Beside himself? Beside Reggie is more like it.
Or a “joint” summit ......
WHERE WAS THE EPA?????????
>>>Beside himself? Beside Reggie is more like it.<<<
I think that is “behind” Reggie . . . as in “Reggie, I got your back!”
According to FoxNews, Barack has known about as long as Snyder has known. WHY DID NOT BARACK INFORM THE PEOPLE OF FLINT???
Why didn’t he fire McCarthy, the stupid woman heading the EPA?This worthless money pit of an agency dumped mine waste with heavy metals into rivers in three western states and the it knew about the lead poisoning in Flint and did nothing about it. Shut down this lousy legacy of Nixon and let the states protect their own lands. They couldn’t be worse.
Good grief, what a fag.
And if he was a Chicago parent? He would be saying Que sera, sera.
He is a she - and an AA.
No blame there - must go straight to the Republican Gov.
Maybe instead of sending Iran 150 billion dollars, maybe instead of bailing out everything and their dogs, maybe if you and your family hadn’t spend so much on your vacations, we would have had the money to ‘replace’ the pipes in Flint, Mich.
But no, obuma you come first, you and your Muslim Brotherhood buddies, to bad for America...
One year from TODAY You (POS) will be GONE from OUR HOUSE!!!
Mayor of Flint, MI == Democrat
City Council of Flint, MI == Democrat
Genesee County Executives == Democrats
Genesee County Council == 8/9 Democrat
But he’s sooo much better than those parents in Flint. Being from the utopian Chicago and all.
He be beside himself.
Then he could turn and look straight into the eyes of the biggest jerk in history.
Every time I hear Obama has said something, I just think “F you, you bastard”. I don’t even need to know what he’s said.
Gotta love the brazenness of his first thought being to use these deaths to say that politicians who advocate government spending cuts are the reason for poisonous water.
So elect a White mayor next time
>> Mayor of Flint, MI == Democrat
City Council of Flint, MI == Democrat
Genesee County Executives == Democrats
Genesee County Council == 8/9 Democrat
And who does the press and Obama go after? The Republican governor of course.
