Does Barack Obama Care About Black People?

by The Patriot Post: Louisiana is under water. Thirteen people are dead because of flooding, and tens of thousands have been displaced. Offering a bit of perspective on this disaster, The American Conservative's Rod Dreher writes:
Hillary devoted three times that number of tweets to congratulating US women athletes at the Rio games. Hey, I have no problem with celebrating their victories. But let's see: over 100,000 people have lost their homes in Louisiana. More than half of them are women, it stands to reason. This is not a secret. If you want to win the attention of the Democratic nominee for president, it's much better to be a woman athlete than a Louisiana woman made homeless by the flooding, it would appear. …

To his credit, the president has released disaster aid to Louisiana, and has sent the FEMA chief down. But he is not interrupting his vacation on fancy Martha's Vineyard to come give comfort and show compassion to his own countrymen who are in extreme pain.

Despite George W. Bush's folly on Katrina, which left a permanent mark on his legacy, Obama remains on vacation, just as Bush did.After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, rapper Kanye West once famously declared, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Is the same true of Obama, who ripped Bush for "unconscionable ineptitude" in 2005?

Clearly, this president would rather be golfing. Recall that in 2014 he was caught yukking it up on the links just minutes after denouncing the Islamic State beheading of journalist James Foley, and again a year later when video was released of the Islamic State beheading 21 Egyptian Christians.
