Storms In Mississippi Were Is Obama??????

I don't know where you got the idea that it's the president's responsibility to personally oversee recovery efforts whenever a storm or other weather event hits an area, but it's not. He's also not expected...at least by any rational person...to get on the airwaves and give a shout out to every area that is hit by some natural event every time something happens. The governor of Mississippi has declared a state of emergency in several counties, which qualifies the residents there for federal disaster aid. The Red Cross has set up shelters and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency are working along with scores of volunteer agencies to assist people there. What happened in New Orleans following hurricane Katrina was the exception, not the rule. Thousands of people aren't normally stranded for days...emergency aide can normally get in. While mentioning the people of New Orleans you seem to have forgotten about the people of Mississippi who were also hit hard by that storm as well as the residents of Florida. Local, state and federal emergency response is coordinated by each state, not the President.

Dont you see? He is a very busy man. He has to run these car companies, and insurance.banking institutions. He has to deal with how he is going to grant amnesty to all of these illegals. He has to worry about getting his minions re-elected. Im sorry but Mississippi will have to wait. Maybe around late 2011 he will fly by....

Nzinky, did you know that you can go to the official Whitehouse website and ask your question? Well, let's just hope that the government police do not track you down! (Laughs)

I was interested to read a comment earlier which inferred that if people did not have insurance to cover their property then the government would help them out. Is that true? If so, then the insurance companies will find it hard to sell premiums.

Obama is NOWHERE, because he is a real "Nowhere Man" to quote the Beatles. He is a person of neither character nor conscience. He is an arrogant, deceiving pretender and cares not a whit for anyone but himself and his minions. He HATES AMERICA; haven't you noticed yet? He doesn't even know how many states are in this country, Mr. Citizen that he is NOT.

The first reason was because President Bush was on one of his multible vacations when New Orleans was hit and he did not cut his vacation short to deal with it. He did not nor did his White House, HHS, Fema respond for 72 hours. The first on the scene was the US Coast Guard. This was also on the heals of Florida being hit with several hurricane's and not getting any help from his administration so there was already some bad press going on about Florida when New Orleans got hit. When he did appear he assured the American people that "Brownie" (the horse trainer/racer) had the situation in hand. Presidents have learned not to go to God made disasters until the situaltion is stable. President Reagon took a very hard hit for visiting a flood zone in the 80's appearing to help move sand bags while his entourage caused more problems for the locals than any help they could provide. This White House has already responded to the problem, we will have to wait and see if they fix the problem.. He has called the governor and federal disaster folks are already on the ground assessing the situation.

Hi, nzinky. I am sure that Obama will make his way there. He has so much going on and as soon as he gets caught up, he will make a speech about this I know sooner or later he will be able to help these people out. I can't look at his as God or Superman because he isn't. He is only one person. Besides, what Bush did, it will take him many years to fix. It will take time. I know that he is aware of what has taken place in Mississippi. He just has to make his way over there to assist these people. Being that he is only one person, and only one President, he can only do but so much. I understand your concern. And as a U.S. citizen, I am sure that Obama will do his job as President. He has not forgotten about anyone. He just has so much on his plate right now... I am sure that he will get things done in a haste sooner or later. Don't fret..

The President can do amazing things from Washington DC. He is not needed in Mississippi in order to get things done.

The criticism of Bush before, during, and after Katrina was far larger than whether he landed the plane. But I think you know that. Nice try confusing the issue, though.

well, the president is aint machine... cant you see he is busy.. .
