Presidential Photo-OP: disgusting is the word
From an open statement by Senator Landrieu on Saturday, Sept 3.
"[...]But perhaps the greatest disappointment stands at the breached 17th Street levee. Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast -- black and white, rich and poor, young and old -- deserve far better from their national government. "
Millions of people homeless and thousands dead, and the only thing that the jackass in chief can think of is on how to stage a photo-op in front of a broken levee and then take away the equipment once the photo-op is done.
