Obama Skips Tornado Destruction, Heads West to Raise Money

President Obama is opting not to visit the tornado-ravaged areas of the South, choosing instead to embark today on a three day tour out West where he will try to boost his political standing by talking up his approach to the deficit and raise millions for himself and fellow Democrats.

The tornadoes, part of a storm that rampaged though six states Saturday, resulted in one of the worst disasters of any kind in the United States since the Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Scores were left injured or homeless while 45 people were killed – about four times as many as died in the Gulf oil rig explosion and the subsequent oil spill last year. In North Carolina alone, there were nearly two-dozen storm-related deaths Saturday, with 130 homes destroyed and an estimated 700 more damaged.

Don’t worry your little heads off, either ~ he got a round of golf in on Sunday.

    What, and have O!bama mix with the unwashed masses? They might not be cheering him on and stuff like that.

    And expecting him to do, y’know, work.

    Oh, that was unkind, sweetie and needlessly devisive. I stole that picture from a North Carolina tornado damage article. They’re all Democrats up yonder.

  4. major dad says:

    Not all of them, remember who the senators were. Carve out the Duke and UNC bunch, you got republicans left.

  5. Why would he go? There is no arugula, no golfing right now, no $35K a plate dinner.

    The only thing left is the little people, which he only sees when he looks down to see where he’s stepping.

    I beg to differ.

    Now, Larry ~ with the exception of the execrable Walter B Jones and Senator Ancienne Jesse Helms, everybody had a big D next to their name when we lived there.

    Having been through it our ownselves, I salute your fortitude now. {8^P
