Hillary will be up next; probably later this week to try and save face.

Obama touring Louisiana amid criticism that he's late - CNNPolitics.com
Lack of interest in your eyes. He gets daily briefs he's called the Governor of the state, he's sent two high level administration members, FEMA has been working diligently this time. You **********s said you don't like having to be politically correct. I knew you all were lying because you are overly concerned about optics without an awareness how our govt works behind the scene on tasks like the flood recovery.

I bet Obama doesn't make a donation to a hate group like Trump. Anyway you could spin that to favor dear leader? Keep trying. You will get there.

Who's working on a scandal?

CNN story says "Obama's visit too late for some."

That's the headline. Just passing along the story.

Seems as though there are many more people other than us 'Trumpettes' here on CD, as you like to call us, who were utterly dumbfounded and disappointed in the absence of their leader during a disaster - one in which people's life's were taken and property destroyed.

So no, not working on a scandal. Obama took care of that for us !

Being the opportunistic scumbag that he is, Trump ignored the advice and showed up anyway. Donning his trademark "Make America Great" cap, he signed autographs, attacked Clinton and Obama, and handed out play-oh for 45 seconds. He used the entire region as a political prop, and now it appears right-wingers are doing the same.
Dumb rightwigers need to be set strsightt usually on a daily basis. The disinformation from Faux and Breitbart that they parrot here gives me a chuckle though. They really ought to be on their GOP congressman's ass for holding off relief to help the flood victims, probably their Senator's as well........

Thank goodness that orange troll arrived in time to hand out some Ply-Doh!
Yes, it WOULD have made more sense for him to be there during the crisis to help out or at least show face to give the residents hope. Just like presidents have done in the past, where people appreciated the effort. Same thing Mr. Trump will do when he is president.

What's funny, is that there are no mentions from Obama's fans here about his own words from 2005, when he criticized Bush for not getting to NOLA soon enough, and instead flying over. Bush, like Obama, did not want the logistics required to support landing AF1 in NOLA to divert resources from recovery efforts.. Obama did overlook the fact that Bush was on the ground soon after. Now, when people are criticizing Obama, his supporters don't want to hear it. Partisan hypocrisy, or no?

Obama is NOT a god. Mother Nature does what she wants to do with the weather. He got there when he did. He needs vacation and Bush was on perpetual vacation. Righties forget this, how convenient. So many HATE him for this skin color. Tragic.
