There are no pictures of starving refugees living in a football stadium. Does that mean that there is no flooding, and no displacement and no suffering? Or does it mean that your MSM would rather talk about Manafort? Why don't you care about the people like the newspapers and local politicians do?? Are the victims all white? Is that why?

When one state hurts, we all hurt – and we must all work together to lift each other up. Working, building, restoring together.

Obama’s refusal to interrupt
vacation amid Louisiana
flooding stirs anger

President Obama is stirring resentment over his refusal to interrupt his Martha’s Vineyard vacation to survey the Louisiana flood — the worst U.S. natural disaster since 2012 — while drawing comparisons to President George W. Bush’s hotly criticized response to Hurricane Katrina in the same state. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson defended Mr. Obama at a press conference Thursday, insisting that the president is “closely monitoring” the situation but that he will not cut short his two-week breather in the tony Massachusetts resort.
