Obama in New Orleans
--Is That All There Is?
~Harry Shearer

~Stood-UpDate~ I just received an email saying that Editilla is being too hard on the President. Since they were very gracious to email me with their concerns we shall leave them as private correspondence. My response however begs ta'diffa.
Whoa. This man can disappear entire cities with the push of his finger --yet he cannot face down and get under control his own Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans Today.
I don't know what to say... other than quote Helen Thomas, on her experiences questioning the last 10 (TEN) Presidents, from an interview last week: "They asked for it. I'm not going to waste my sympathy on any President."
Barack Obama thoroughly, with gut-wrenching effectiveness, used the devastation of New Orleans to get elected on the Hope that he would treat the city with the respect she deserves.
Soooo, his first visit as President is a Drive-through Rest-stop?
Fuck that and the Yankee Bourgeois Nievete he rode in on.
Of course, if he reads all this Bad Press and maybe changes his mind about disrespecting our city so, then perhaps I can like him again, maybe --but I find his Bush League Politics frightening.
Did he Punk us for our Vote? Well? Do you like getting Punked?
I think Obama's problem goes deeper than his obvious regard for the Citizens of New Orleans as losers hardly worth his time.
The problem here is his failure to face his Corps of Engineers' Fuck Ups --not in New Orleans, not in Iraq and not in Afghanistan. The problem is the Big Money that uses the Corps also seems to have gotten used to Obama. The problem is that he is Validating the Corps by not addressing their ongoing malfeasance today in New Orleans, hence they gain free reign to do more damage.
I already went through one of their floods. We don't need this.
