Obama managed to show empathy for the people of Haiti and Chile, and even mentioned the people of West Virginia in his proclamation about National Day of Prayer but he never said anything, that I know about the poor people of Tennessee who were so wiped out by the flood. Well anyway he did manage to proclaim the National Day of Prayer in a very decent manner and managed to say that it was not just some Christian thing. Those last few sentences were very well constructed by his people.

"I've never seen this kind of response," said Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen (D), "and we've had our share of tornadoes and so forth." The Volunteer State governor was speaking to reporters on a conference call arranged by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from Nashville, which has been hit hard by rains last weekend.
"FEMA and the White House could not have been more helpful in this thing," Bredesen said. Record amounts of rain fell Saturday and Sunday, more than 13 inches recorded in parts of Tennessee. Officials Thursday reported the state's 20th death from the storm and subsequent flooding.

Ovcatto apparently the right wingers think Obama has snubbed TN which according to their Governor he has not!
According to the right, Obama has snubbed TN in favor of a Black nation and a Hispanic nation.
