The difference is that there was wide-spread bipartisan condemnation of the FEMA response then, and widespread bipartisan praise now. There are no pictures of starving refugees living in a football stadium. I don't feel compelled to drive across the country to do the job my government should have been doing.

Edwards, defending the administration’s response Thursday, said he has spoken daily with the White House and has received quick responses to each request he’s lodged with the administration.

He said he’d prefer Obama hold off on visiting because such stops pull local police and first responders into providing security.

“Quite frankly that is not something that I want to go through right now. And so while the president is welcome to visit, I would just as soon he give us another a week or two, get back to a greater sense of normalcy here,” Edwards said in Baton Rouge while accompanying Johnson.

The White House also noted that Louisiana’s top elected Republican, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, on Thursday also praised the federal government’s response during an interview with NPR.
