Note: this post was written before Obama went to Louisiana, however nothing changes. Obama’s trip was too little too late, and probably wouldn’t have occurred if Donald Trump hadn’t gone to comfort the flood-ravaged people four days earlier.

And now, more proof that we are no longer Americans. We are Democrats or Republicans, PERIOD!

This past week, according to many reports, flooding in Louisiana is the worst natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy.

As is the norm these days, the loons on the far Left and mainstream media rallied to the president’s defense. “He can’t be everywhere all the time,” “His presence would only make things worse,” “Nothing can move when he is on the ground.” They sound like valid defenses, right?

Notice I said this flooding is the worst since HURRICANE Sandy. The President hasn’t (or hadn’t made a statement at the time of this writing) made a personal visit to view the situation in Louisiana. He’s playing golf on Martha’s Vineyard, you know, and probably has bad cell service, or something! His people probably have it handled, just hopefully not the same ones that handled Benghazi or Fast and Furious or… never mind.

After the Katrina disaster, the Left was spouting, “People were drowning. And the president of the United States was playing guitar in San Diego!” But nothing about Mr. Oblamo’s golf game. Chris Rock once said the Obamas were like the Mother and Father of our country. Is this really how a father would care for his kids in need or in crisis? US News wrote:

Americans across the country were shocked by the television images they saw in Katrina’s immediate aftermath. People stood on rooftops waving their arms and pleading for help as the flood waters inundated their communities,” “Making matters worse was that 67 percent of New Orleans was African American and 30 percent of the residents were poor, creating the impression that the government was insensitive and neglectful of minorities and the less fortunate.” They went on to print, “While all this was going on, the president of the United States remained aloof from the disaster. Day after day, George W. Bush continued a long-planned vacation at his 1,600-acre Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas, and his staff didn’t want to burden him with detailed information about the situation on the Gulf Coast.

As I have always said the Left doesn’t want justice or equality they want control. They want to control what you see and what you digest to make your decisions. That piece could be written today as:

Americans across the country were shocked by the television images they saw in the immediate aftermath of the flooding. People stood on rooftops waving their arms and pleading for help as the flood waters inundated their communities,” “Making matters worse was that 67 percent of New Orleans was African American and 30 percent of the residents were poor, creating the impression that the government was insensitive and neglectful of minorities and the less fortunate. While all this was going on, the president of the United States remained aloof from the disaster. Day after day, Mr Obama continued a long-planned vacation in Martha’s Vineyard honing his golf skills, and his staff didn’t want to burden him with detailed information about the situation on the Gulf Coast.”

But you won’t see anything like this!

A black president WOULD care if 67 percent of New Orleans was African American and 30 percent of the residents were poor. He would be all over this, right? I know he is a busy man with a stressful job and he just needed some time away to think and relax. Maybe like when the American journalist was beheaded he would have at least driven his golf cart to the podium, put on a suitcoat, and simply made some kind of statement.

“Our Hearts and prayers go out to the people of Louisiana. I have instructed my staff to do whatever it takes to get you the help you need to get to safety and save whatever you have left.”

And maybe,

“I was thinking of sending Border Patrol there since they aren’t working at the border, but we didn’t have enough funds to transport them since it costs over $30,000 per refugee to process them and we have lost track of over 100 thousand of them. Well gutta go now. I’m way past tee time!”

Anyway you get the picture. Show you care! He doesn’t! George W, decided to do a flyover to see firsthand what had happened instead of relying on mainstream media and he got blasted. The story went on to say:

Many Americans saw the photo of him flying over the devastation in Air Force One which was widely disseminated, as evidence that Bush was too distant from the misery below. Bush would later conceded that allowing the photo to be taken was a “huge mistake” because it made him seem “detached and uncaring.”

A little side note here, the current White House gives out pictures and narratives to the press that THEY want distributed. President Obama always looks great. Puzzling!?

The paper goes on to say:

Bush declined to visit the devastated area right away. White House aides said at the time that Bush didn’t want to cause disruptions in rescue and recovery efforts by diverting security and communications to himself. But Bush allies privately conceded that he could have quickly visited somewhere along the Gulf Coast with minimal disruption, perhaps a staging site, to show solidarity with the victims.

Curious. Couldn’t the modern day reading look something like:

Obama declined to visit the devastated area right away. White House aides said that Obama didn’t want to cause disruptions in rescue and recovery efforts by diverting security and communications to himself. Conservatives crying foul say that he could have quickly visited somewhere along the Gulf Coast with minimal disruption, perhaps a staging site, to show solidarity with the victims.

People get a clue! The mainstream media, dominated by liberals, wouldn’t call out Hillary or Obama or any other high-ranking official if they were caught beheading Christians themselves, or if they hand carried the ransom money to Iran, or if they had video of Hillary giving the order to erase, erase, erase.

This country is in a world of hurt. For the first time in my adult life I am very concerned for its future.

Americans, don’t stop fighting!
