Trump Plays the Role of President in Louisiana
GOP nominee tours disaster area while Obama, Clinton won't be parted from politics and rest
In a brilliant maneuver perfectly timed to complement his campaign revamp, Republican nominee Donald Trump today landed in Louisiana to witness first-hand the devastation wrought by flooding not seen there since Hurricane Katrina pummeled the Gulf Coast in 2005.
Trump’s arrival on the scene helps him on a number of levels. Most importantly, it provides a dramatic contrast to Hillary Clinton and President Obama, both of whom have neglected to visit a region where more than a dozen have died and tens of thousands have been forced out of their homes.
Acting like a leader who is there for average Americans is exactly what propelled Trump to the Republican nomination.
Trump’s move to see for himself the plight of disaster victims lends him a presidential aura that critics say he has been lacking due to off-the-cuff remarks that have, at times, sounded as crass and immature. Obama, the actual president, has responded absurdly, refusing to budge from the Martha’s Vineyard golf courses where he is playing nearly daily with celebrities and wealthy friends — even to issue a public statement, let alone visit the unfolding tragedy.
Though the press has barely noticed, Obama's performance is demonstrably worse than that of George W. Bush during the 2005 Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, when Bush at least broke off his vacation and attempted to show some compassion by flying over the area to witness the devastation. He then actually landed on the scene a couple of days later to check up on the relief effort and offer moral support.
But he was nevertheless pilloried by the very same mainstream media that seem to think it is okay that Obama is dining out on overpriced seafood and tooling around in a golf cart while Louisiana residents are using rowboats to try to get to their homes and salvage their belongings.
fundraiser to raise money for politicians, of course, not beleaguered Cajuns.
Hillary Clinton's decision not to head to Louisiana should probably feed speculation that she has something wrong in the head because of the inanity of the choice. Instead of showing compassion, she has two poorly timed fundraisers planned for Sunday — one in the vacation mecca of Provincetown on Cape Cod, where Cher will serve as the entertainment, and the other in Atlanta. Clinton has said very little about the tragedy, and like Obama, is said by aides to be "monitoring" the situation and receiving "updates."
Clinton's failure to do much of anything related to Louisiana may in part be driven by Obama's determination to continue with his vacation at all costs. If she shows up and provides leadership, it highlights her friend Obama's failure to do so and gives him less of an excuse for staying ensconced in his vacation abode, making her most valuable ally look bad.
Trump's Louisiana visit not only provides a contrast with Clinton, it provides a contrast with the Trump many voters have concerns with.

I read a quote from the governor of Louisiana where he said that he asked Obama to wait for 2 weeks before coming because the extra security necessary for his visit would disrupt the clean up efforts.
FEATHER WINGER: Obama reportedly wants to get his golf score in the 80's, so a two week wait to visit Louisiana was necessary for the sake of his game..
