not what the governor says dimwit The Latest: Governor Defends Obama's Response to Flooding By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENHAM SPRINGS, La. — Aug 18, 2016, 4:04 PM ET 4SHARES Email The Latest on flooding in southern Louisiana (all times local): 3:05 p.m. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards is defending the Obama administration's response to the severe flooding in his state. President Barack Obama has received criticism for staying on vacation rather than traveling to Louisiana to see the damage first-hand. But Edwards said Thursday that he's spoken with the White House daily and has received quick responses for each request he's made to the administration. He noted that FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate visited the state Tuesday and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was in-state Thursday. Edwards said he is "not complaining in any way about our federal partnership." He added that while the President can visit whenever he'd like, he'd prefer him to wait "a week or two" because such visits require local police and first responders to help block roads and provide security.
