Carney: Obama planned his Louisiana visit before Romney announced his

Carney: Obama planned his Louisiana visit before Romney announced his. For those not old enough to know this, a habit the old Soviet-era apparatchiks had was that no matter what one brought up – electric lights, television, cars – they would counter with “We invented it first!” We note that without comment, readers can draw their own conclusions.

  • Bullshit, the plan I saw earlier was "Dear leader" was going to a fundraiser in Texas. He changed his mind right after Romney said he was going to visit first. I guess proactive isn't one of "Dear Leader's" virtues.

    • Being proactive would require thinking ahead past the next hole in golf. Not likely wioth Obamarama nor his crew.

  • Please, you can't expect Obama to ruin a perfectly good weekend by flying to Lousiana on a Friday afternoon and pretending to be concerned by the plight of a bunch of Red State yahoos.

    ...besides he has an early tee-time Saturday.

  • Let us see, the current President could not change his schedule to be in Louisiana sooner. The real reason barry could not carry there sooner. He was too busy out begging for money and checking out the next golf course to play.

    These idiots must believe that they can keep spouting stupid shit and everyone is going to take it for gospel. Too bad for them, the stink is come through and people are smelling what is being passed as truth to be nothing more than BS.

  • Doesn't matter. That just means the planning is poor. That he didn't get there before Romney is inexcusable for a sitting president.
