Louisiana is suffering some of the worst widespread flooding since the 1927 flood that inspired the Randy Newman song “Louisiana 1927.” The flooding started last Friday, after over two feet of rain fell in some parts of the state in just 48 hours. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit, George Bush flew over the area to survey the damage and coordinate a response. President Barack Obama has yet to even address the situation, never mind lead the effort to respond. Bush got ridiculed in the media for his action, there has been media silence on Obama’s inaction.
….
In Livingston Parish alone, the sheriff says estimates 100,500 people lost everything. The scope of the damage is almost incomprehensible .

The response of the people of Baton Rouge and Lafayette, with neighbor helping neighbor, doesn’t fit into the main stream media narrative of a nation on the brink suffering from racial tension.
Wait, maybe that’s why Obama has been silent.
