Our Views: Vacation or not, a hurting Louisiana needs you now, President Obama

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.

You do not hear much of the Louisiana flood compared to Hurricane Katrina.

The Louisiana governor (Kathleen Blanco) and New Orleans mayor (Ray Nagin) really screwed it up with Katrina.

Because he and the democrats have your votes no matter what, so why break a sweat?

For everyone else, you used up all your everything by soaking Katrina for 10 freaking years.  Louisiana can go completely underwater for all I and almost all the USA cares.
