Vice President Biden and his wife will travel to Colorado Monday to view the devastation and provide comfort in the wake of massive floods that raged through the state during the past week.
Apparently, thought, the waters did not rise to the level that would merit a visit from President Obama, who appears to have dispatched Biden instead.
Estimates are that at least eight people have died, about 200 are still missing, and more than 19,000 homes were damaged or destroyed.
Maybe the visit is more of a condolence call to John Morse and Angela Giron, who were recalled this past week.
What kind of insulting nonsense will Plugs spout?
The floods were caused by Republicans…
Bush’s fault ?
He will certainly talk about gun control.
Of course isn’t HE the one that advocated that everyone go get a shotgun.
Isn’t that what the sicko from DC use to kill 12 people?
I live in Arizona and was disgusted that the President couldn’t show up when the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots (wild land firefighters) died in the line of duty in June of this year. Obama sucks up to the fire unions for their support during elections; but where was he when they needed his support.
Do people really need that narcissist showing up to make the memorial service all about himself?
true! :)
This Sunday Obama will have his narcissist moment at the Navy Yard memorial service…. most likely followed by some golf.
But will HRH Michelle show-up for the memorial? (anyone taking odds?)
if she does will probably mumble about the “damn flag” again or something to that effect.
I agree that we shouldn’t make a president “keep score” on which tragedy is worse than others. But sending Biden seems worse than sending no one at all.
I think when a President declares an area as a Federal Disaster, releasing the National Guard and FEMA, he should show up to make sure we’re getting our money’s worth ?
He would only get in the way. Remember photo op for Sandy?? No Christie in CO.
FEMA is already making waves out there.. why add BO?
Also, whenever BO bounces out to one of these places, he tends to put his foot in mouth – “The Fed Govt is here to help you.” Months / Year later their still trying to cut through all the red tape.
I was disgusted also, but it was best he didn’t attend. It allowed the focus to be on the Hotshots instead of the Arrogant Narcissist of DC.
I don’t know for fact, but it seems that Obama prefers to attend memorial services for those killed by guns.
He may be playing golf on Sat. and would be top tired from jet lag.
Surprising, since CO is a blue state. I would have expected no more for poor Arizona.
Haven’t they suffered enough??
Indeed!
Insult to injury you’ve lost lives homes family and friends still missing.
But your misery just doesn’t rise to be ‘consoled’ by Obama. Does he have a list of what or who are worthy enough to be comforted by the
narcissist in chief? HRH just quit last couple years it’s shameful to have
someone in office who cares so little for Americans unless they are his
kind of people. We’ve truly hit rock bottom with Obama. But there are
Americans who truly care and our thoughts and prayers aren’t ever
decided by a golf game or who those suffering are we all care always.
The only way POTUS and FLOTUSis going to Colorado is if Beyonce and Jay-Z do a video or concert.
The sad thing is the Citizens of Colorado are learning the truth that while they voted for him ……….He doesn’t need them.
Or if she can have a five star ski trip.
Personally, I think it’s best for all of the high ranking politicians to stay away. The security headaches it creates in the midst of the aftermath and clean ups, etc. is not worth the photo op. There should be a statement from the president from the Oval Office offering condolences and empathy to the victims.
And the reason Biden is going is because he needs the photo op in order to run in 2016.
hey Keith! you forgot to say “Dr. Jill” Biden. I’m afraid I’m going to have to report you to Lois Lerner.
of course Obama can’t be bothered to go to Colorado. there weren’t very many black people who were affected, so why would he care?
