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.
Woah woah woah....
Where did race come into play in this AT ALL?
I'm starting to agree that the Liberals are really the ones stoking this race war.
Anyways, to the main point of the question. Obama was late to visiting the area. We all know that. It was a big mistake on his part. And we are free to call him out on it. Especially free to call him out without being inferred to as racists! I mean come on.

As a libertarian, I've never noticed so many racists comments from the right before Obama came on the scene. It's like Barry brought out the worst in them. Never heard the Paul supporters make racist remarks, I guess they have some class?
Glad to see Trump handing out Play-Doh to Pence is what real leadership looks like.
Nope - Trump handing out Play-Doh AND other supplies and touring the area, and talking to residents, and inquiring about the insurance available to victims and how many homes were damaged is what real leadership looks like.
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?
Provide the link of him criticizing Bush for "not going soon enough". I honestly don't recall that. I do remember Brownie. I remember Bush telling him he was doing a great job. I remember Brownie learning there were people at the Superdome from CNN coverage. I remember his emails too. Brownie wasn't doing a great job. It wasn't that Bush didn't go. It was that there was really no effort for relief and an incompetent sycophant in charge of such an important government organization.
If you lived through Katrina and think people were mad because Bush didn't visit soon enough, you weren't paying attention.
Yeah, it would've made much more sense to go when the crisis was in its critical early stages, not like the police, first responders, hospitals, etc., all the resources that are put on alert when any POTUS visits anywhere had anything more pressing to worry about, right?
Thank goodness that orange troll arrived in time to hand out some Ply-Doh!
No sense trying to explain. Dimwits have their minds made up. Parroting Faux now....
Well, after being completely embarrassed by Trump taking the time to help the flood victims, Obama decides that he should stop play gold long enough to act like the president.
Thats the only reason he is... BECAUSE MR. TRUMP IS TRYING TO HELP THEM!!!! (One of the few GOOD things he has done)

Obama's quote in 2008 about the Bush response to Katrina.
Quote:
When the people of New Orleans and Gulf Coast extended their hand for help, help was not there. When people looked up from the rooftops, for too long they saw an empty sky. When the winds blew and the flood waters came, we learned for all of our wealth and our power, something wasn’t right with America. We can talk about what happened for a few days in 2005, and we should. We can talk about levies that couldn’t hold, about a FEMA that seem not just incompetent but paralyzed and powerless, about a president who only saw the people from a window on an airplane instead of down here on the ground, trying to provide comfort and aid,” Obama said then. “We can talk about a trust that was broken, the promise that our government would be prepared, will protect us, and will respond in a catastrophe.
Will concede there was plenty of blame to go around for the shortcomings in Katrina, both at the Federal (Executive) level, and the state and local level. (Blanco and Nagin)
Amid criticism from who? Dumb right-wingers? Big deal.
The Governor of Louisiana already explained that he asked Obama, Clinton, and Trump not to visit, as their presence would cause a drain on resources.
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.
And that's total nonsense. Obama visited NYC the day after Superstorm Sandy... and oddly only 6 days before the next election.
This has absolutely nothing to do with 'resources'. But you fell for it anyway.

People might actually take you seriously, if you actually posted something worth while rather than non stop racist bs and lies.
just saying..
