Diogenes’MiddleFinger: After a quick overnight trip with friends to deliver some needed local donations of supplies to sheltered evacuees in Baton Rouge, I couldn’t but help have some thoughts about how we are in this country today.
I’m Actually glad to see our fearless leader not interrupt his semi-retirement and taxpayer funded vacation to Martha’s Vineyard by do a silly Air Force One flyover of the devastated flood areas of South Louisiana, forcing his loving media to embarrassed him by writing how uncaring and inept he is as a leader like they did George Bush after Katrina. And I’m glad to see his media, not buzzing about like mosquitoes sticking microphones in every poor black persons face that has lost their whole world. After-all, this time there is no political party to damage, and they wouldn’t want to harm the chances of Baton Rouge electing their first Black female mayor.
And because I think Obama knows there are other more important events for the media to report these days, like two gay Olympic divers getting engaged on the beach in Rio, Adele performing at the Superbowl and being self-conscious about dancing, and the American people’s absolute need to know the stupid-thing-of-the day that Trump said as well as the sketchy-detail-of-the-day coming out about Ma Clinton, there is really no reason to show concern.
I cannot even imagine the anxiety of people looking at South Louisiana from afar and seeing the dark black vats of jambalaya, the deep silver pots of bubbling gumbo, and even three inches of red meat smoking on a wood burning grill as we feed our friends, and our crazy neighbor who thinks their cat is the reincarnation of a former president. The media would find we pack it in little styrofoam containers with a roll and walk it down the street. We’ll force you to make a to-go plate even though you swear you have enough already.
The media would certainly find the scruffy fisherman who went out of his way to pull people from the tops of houses, loaded them in, and then braved murky river water to deliver them to safety.
They would find the woman who’s been at Celtic Studios all day, lifting cases of water, escorting elderly off of the helicopters that are landing nearby… more

Beautifully said, Diogenes. 0bama injecting his presence would be nothing but another self-aggrandizing photo op. He doesn’t care about the pawns.
he surrounds himself with people who don’t laugh out loud at his golf game.
