READER'S POST #19 - Where's Waldo... And Obama?

By: 32slim32

Remember when that horrible, evil George Bush (who didn’t care about black people) didn’t go to New Orleans for two days after hurricane Katrina? Well, he flew over two days after because there was nowhere to land. He returned the next day. Remember all the outrage?

That makes you think that a president that actually cared about black people (you know, a Democrat) would be there much sooner. Right?

Hurricane Isaac hit the gulf coast late Tuesday evening. Where was President 0bama? Well let’s go to whitehouse.gov and check his itinerary for the days following the hurricane?

Tuesday August 28^th as the storm was bearing down on the gulf coast President was 0bama was campaigning at Iowa State University and then on to Colorado State University.

Wednesday August 29^th the President was campaigning in Charlottesville, VA.

Thursday August 30^th the President received the daily presidential briefing at 10:30 AM then had lunch with Vice President Biden at 12:30. That was his full schedule for the day according to the transparent whitehouse.gov website.

Friday August 31^st the President flew to El Paso, TX to speak to the troops and flew back to the white house.

Ironically, also on Friday August 31^st, Mitt Romney actually went to Louisiana prompting the 0bama regime to announce that they have scheduled a visit to Louisiana on Monday September 3^rd. Their original plan was to attend a campaign event in Ohio then fly to Louisiana for a photo op to display his great humanitarianism and compassion.  They later cancelled the Ohio campaign stop. I suppose they figured that even super ignorant 0bama voters may see the blatant hypocrisy in that.

Do you remember the earthquake in Haiti? 0bama was Johnny on the spot, or should I say Barry on the spot for that. Heck he even got an early start that morning. He was making a speech at 10:20 AM… the following morning. If you review the Presidents daily schedule you will see it is quite common for him to receive the daily briefing at 10:30 AM, so he was getting an early start that day.

If you live along the gulf coast and are excited about 0bama’s visit Monday, thank Mitt Romney. Had he not gone to Louisiana 0bama may never have gone. But then again, why would he waste his time there? It’s not like has a chance of winning the 9 Electoral College votes of Louisiana or the 6 votes of Alabama. Let them eat cake… mud cakes.
