Obama Ignores Louisiana’s Paper’s Desperate Please to Cut His Vacation Short in Wake of Emergency

A Louisiana based paper, The Advocate, wrote a desperate plea to Obama to cut short his golfing vacation in wake of their national tragedy.

Obama ignored them. However, Donald Trump will be visiting Louisiana flood victims today.

What did Obama do this Thursday instead?

Golf with comedian Larry David. You can’t even make this up.

The Advocate wrote

Now that the flood waters ravaging Louisiana are receding, it’s time for President Barack Obama to visit the most anguished state in the union.

Last week, as torrential rains brought death, destruction and misery to Louisiana, the president continued his vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, a playground for the posh and well-connected.

We’ve seen this story before in Louisiana, and we don’t deserve a sequel. In 2005, a fly-over by a vacationing President George W. Bush became a symbol of official neglect for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The current president was among those making political hay out of Bush’s aloofness.

Sometimes, presidential visits can get in the way of emergency response, doing more harm than good. But we don’t see that as a factor now that flood waters are subsiding, even if at an agonizing pace. It’s past time for the president to pay a personal visit, showing his solidarity with suffering Americans.

The optics of Obama golfing while Louisiana residents languished in flood waters was striking. It evoked the precedent of the passive federal response to the state’s agony in 2005, a chapter of history no one should ever repeat.
