Ironic Obama Visiting The Same People Who Hate Him.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Obama is showing great leadership by visiting flood victims most who HATE him and wish him ill. Let's be honest many of these people effected by the flood are knuckle draggers who hate Obama, liberals, LGBT, government, Democrats et al. Many are still the same racist, bigoted bunch who put in Congressional representatives who voted down Sandy relief.

On the one hand you feel sad for them on the other you feel at least indifferent. And the FEMA response to this largely white population is very different than the black victims of Katrina. They are still NOT rebuilt. Most were run out of Louisiana.

I have to give Obama credit that he is doing the Christian thing. That is unlike the false Christians in Louisiana.

Trump will likely win the vote in those areas effected by the flood.

1. I look forward to the day when the phrase "doing the Christian thing"

is viewed with the same contempt as terms like "manning up" and "that was white of you."

2. Agreed my friend

3. I feel sorry for them regardless of their politics

once you lose your humanity, you may as well become a republican

4. You have to be president for all Americans. Not just the ones that supported you.

Something that Trump is incapable of comprehending.

5. And many of them are not.

Never assume. The "Christian thing" is to love thy neighbor.

6. What a horrible, ugly, bigoted statement.

I hate it when people sit back and other people they don't know. Sure, some of the flood victims dislike Obama. And just as certainly some of the flood victims don't feel that way and totally defy your close-minded prejudices.

The point is, they're fucking flood victims and it's the job of the president to make sure they get taken care of. Quit judging other people. Smug and judgmental is a shitty way to go through life.

7. Baton Rouge is like what, 50% African-American?

And yet the communities and neighborhoods hit by the flooding this time were mostly populated by white people. I do applaud how the Cajun Navy and others helped rescue hundreds of people and pets, and the way the donations have poured in from neighbors and strangers around the region. But I wonder how these same people would have behaved if it was the AA population hardest hit. And I also wonder how some of the lucky ones can say, "My house didn't flood because of the power of prayer." When my 93-year-old mother said this to me, I wanted to tell her that her flooded neighbors surely prayed as much as she did. But people with that kind of disconnect can't be enlightened by logic.
