Many of us have ALWAYS known what his priorities are.

NOTE it is in his FIRST STATEMENT of the 16 pages.

NOT "I feel sorrow for you"

Not "I hope they are doing well"

NOT "We are with you"

NOPE, NOTING is more important to obama then RACE and making sure whites don't discriminate.

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we have learned many c

Here is the entire memo, the only thing surprising is that someone actually read it.


Yes this was a reaction to the uneven approach to Katrina.

The point being is that when Bush was Prez and the levies broke Everyone was super critical that he did not immediately make a trip down there BUT now that Obama has chosen to play golf instead there is barely a word.

Not that I care what this idiot said but Kenye West said that "George Bush does not care about black people". Has he made any condemning statement about Obama?


The hypocrisy is incredible.


If Trump and Pence went down for photo ops from the cuts I have heard it sounded like they were well received by the people who are actually living the nightmare of flood.


Obama has come out to say that he will go there Tuesday even though the Gov. said it is better if he stays away.
Why the change of tune? Was it that he didn't want to look bad because Trump beat him to it or is his golf cart in the shop for it's 50,000 mile tuneup?

holy cow.


the good news is most of my Cajun brothers and sisters are too busy to read the news.... when they see this, I would advise the president to just stay away.


Holy Cow how callous and insensitive and tone deaf can one person be? good grief. I had little respect for Bammer. NOW? not any.

Get your facts before mouthing off about our President. He does care.

Trump/Pence rode in on their white horses to save it all!!!
President Bush was told that he would be a distraction and not to show up, but that didn't stop Candidate Obama ripping him for ignoring that request. Of course the Democrat Governor took marching orders to announce that the current Democrat president jokster needed to keep golfing with comedians.

I stand with Candidate Obama, whoever is currently president is a heartless loser with bad priorities just like Bush.

Current President = Bush.

He doesn't care about them because he no longer has to run for re-election.

Well you know, Obama is only trying to stay under par while Louisiana stays underwater.
