The soldiers assembled to hear their C-in-C looked increasingly uncomfortable, trying desperately to hang on to their dutiful grateful smiles as he rambled on, till it mercifully ended. I watched it, incredulous that they'd let him go ahead with it, as awful as he was -- couldn't anyone have come up with an excuse to put it off?<br /><br />And nobody in the media said one word about it.

I've got a great picture of it around here somewhere, I'll repost it at my place.<br /><br />That's what they're getting even for, not any aberrant "treatment" of Bush. Their dog didn't have the grace and dignity to treat the people of LA with respect to begin with, and when he did show up, he was drunk. Staggering, stumbling, slurring his words "get the foke away from me I'm The President I can do this with out you" drunk.<br /><br />Kinda' like something out of one of these newer so-called "country and western" songs drunk.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-68712234483221203882016-08-21T04:09:36.257-04:002016-08-21T04:09:36.257-04:00I've challenged a few righties in comments thr...I've challenged a few righties in comments threads at other sites to explain what exactly the president could have achieved by visiting the state, apart from getting in the way of the disaster response effort.

Except for LA which only rcently replaced former (R) Gov Bobby Jendal. Who frist drove the State into a ditch and then began digging deeper!<br /><br />Their governance in 21st Century American has been nothing short of dismal, disasterous, dark, draconian and deadly to American Citizens!<br /><br />And now they want to elect a wannabe despot dictator with a vision of a dsyopican America!<br /><br />Damn ...WE can do better than this!Gerald Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086005170803865460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-65005159545379761362016-08-20T14:55:03.437-04:002016-08-20T14:55:03.437-04:00In all honesty, if he’s gonna visit, I would would...<i>In all honesty, if he’s gonna visit, I would would just as soon it be a week or ten days, 14 days from now...</i><br /><br />Oh, and nobody finds it at all suspicious that what Edwards says he wants Obama to do is <i>exactly what Obama is doing</i>? <br /><br /><i>"I've been on food stamps and welfare.

In other words, they weren't building houses in a flood plain, then expecting the government to bail them out when the inevitable happens, like white folks do. The government brought the flood to them, and could barely lift a finger to help them. <br /><br />So, hey hard working Mr Greg Patterson, consider taking responsibility for your own self, and move out of the flood plain. The Mississippi has a tendency to move whenever and wherever it it wants (see "The Control of Nature", John McPhee, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_Control_Act_of_1928, and http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/05/what-weve-done-to-the-mississippi-river-an-explainer/239058/) and we taxpayers have been on the hook for decades to keep you and yours dry. Now that Global Climate Change (that you probably don't believe in) is well past its tipping point, you need to move to higher ground. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-55746670672394871102016-08-20T13:45:13.368-04:002016-08-20T13:45:13.368-04:00Ten Bears,]

I would just as soon have those people engaged in the response, rather than try to secure the president, so I would ask him to wait, if he would, another couple of weeks."Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370070580510778655noreply@blogger.com
