Obama’s Great Vacation Weather

Meanwhile, the poor crackers of Livingston Parish swelter in the rain and heat, without homes or electricity

Hey, wonder how the weather is on Martha’s Vineyard, where the president and his family are enjoying a swell vacation? Let’s check the Internet:

Wow, sounds fun! So, how are things for the people in Livingston Parish (those who are able to get back into their flooded homes, that is; 90% of the homes there took on water) tonight, without power and therefore without air conditioning?

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, “Little fat man, ain’t that a shame
What the river has done
To this poor cracker’s land.”

— Randy Newman, Louisiana 1927

Hey, at least President Coolidge came.

(Oh yes indeed, I am pissed off. I have liberal Democratic friends down here who are pissed off too.)
