    I agree, but symbolism is part of a politician's job. A big part. There's a reason why, 2,000 years later, Nero still gets excoriated for fiddling while Rome burned.

    Can you fill sand bags while sitting on a stool?

    Last time this happened, Obama cost a Republican politician his career by showing up to "help."

    Hurricane Sandy was in 12. A year later, he was reelected easily in a state that's a Dem stronghold.

    Regarding Nero, he would have been golfing, had the sport been invented. He also would have called five-foot putts good, as presidents like to do.

    And he's so delighted with that job that he's virtually abandoned it to become fast food errand boy to a comic book villain.

    Didn't say he has been popular since being reelected.

    Getting re-elected largely by poopyhead Democrats only served as another nail in his coffin.

    Every Map Of Louisiana Is A Lie — What It Really Looks Like Should Scare You

    From 2014.

    According to the U.S.G.S., the state lost just under 1,900 square miles of land between 1932 and 2000. This is the rough equivalent of the entire state of Delaware dropping into the Gulf of Mexico, and the disappearing act has no closing date. If nothing is done to stop the hemorrhaging, the state predicts as much as another 1,750 square miles of land  —  an area larger than Rhode Island  —  will convert to water by 2064.

    Is Obama treating Louisiana as a regular water hazard or a lateral water hazard?
