Funny Obama has to visit places where he can find a crowd of takers of government money...........to get cheered.....He has never visited MS......where more damage was done in Katrina..............Is there a RACE issue here??????

OMG! I am from Louisiana and I am sick of these Katrina people. I hope New Orleans sinks to the bottom of the gulf next time. The place is below sea level and needs to be abandoned. I spent time and money helping them last time. I will not do it again. Most of them want a new house when they did not 'own' one in the first place. New Orleans is a waste of good swamp.

left/right wing = RETARDED!!! a president wants whats best for their country, ie money. no matter who's in charge they'll always be pulled in by the greed of the almighty dollar. your precious president doesn't even call the shots, it's whoever has the most money to throw at the situation. government is a fucking joke, it's another word for opression. government contradicts human freedom. there's no such thing as a 'country'.only people who make up that country. individualism people! WAKE UP!!

Obama's efforts have (using his favorite word as though talking to children), have been focused on his socialist agenda.... PERIOD! The federals governments job is to secure the coasts, borders, security, infrastructure and stand as the representative for the country. He is NOT the leader, the God or the DICTATOR of this Constitutional Republic (not Democracy, as many may believe) to express our opinions. He and his have done NOTHING to fix anything, but everything to destroy the USA.
