President Barack Obama was today forced to announce he will fly to storm-hit Louisiana on Monday – hours after Mitt Romney beat him to the punch by deciding to head there this afternoon.
After it emerged that Obama was still taking time to fit in a campaign stop in Cleveland, Ohio, before checking out how clean-up operations are proceeding in the Bayou state, the Obama campaign abruptly cancelled that event, though he will still hold a rally in Toledo, Ohio before heading south.
But the Republican presidential candidate touched down in the Hurricane ravaged state this afternoon – a full three days before Obama – touring the flooded areas around Lafitte and showing his support for local residents.
Romney had changed his schedule to head to the affected town outside New Orleans while Obama, who has yet to visit the Tropical Storm Isaac zone, headed off to Texas to campaign.
But the Obama campaign said today, in a terse statement, that the President would now visit the flood-stricken state early next week.
‘In light of the President’s travel to Louisiana to meet with local officials and view ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac, President Obama will no longer travel to Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, September 3,’ the statement read.

Talk about an “out of touch” President!!
why do you hate klal yisroel so much that you lie to them by going to the lengths of printing a sensationalist newspapers British newspaper that is resulting in your printing an article asserting that the
Obama admin wasnt going to be going to the storm torn area all along. If you cared to not lie to Jews you wouldnt print sensationalist stories written as propaganda and instead would fact check that president was going to be going there all along. But instead you chose to print a story that created fiction surrounding the scheduling.
Why do you hate klal yisroel so much that day in and day out you print stories that present a propaganda story, while suppressing the comprehensive news.
why for example have you not printed a story with this:
( perhaps one of the most important pieces of news to come through in days)
“Despite disagreements, ( Deputy PM) Intelligence Agencies Minister Dan Meridor said on Saturday that both the US and Israel agreed that if Iran made the political decision to put together a nuclear bomb, it would still take 18 months to two years for it to be able to assemble one.
“Meridor, speaking on Channel 2’s Meet the Press program, said the level of intelligence sharing between the US and Israel was unprecedented, and that there was no disagreement with the assessment that Iran was not on the immediate verge of being able to put together a bomb, even if it made the decision to do so.”
if the editor of yw cared about not misleading the klal into a world of lies they would hire someone to actually get real comprehensive news instead of publishing sensationalist news and unnamed rhetoric
