Director of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson is in Louisiana monitoring the area’s recovery from deadly flooding. President Obama has been criticized for remaining on Martha’s Vineyard and golfing during the state’s emergency, but Johnson said Obama’s busy schedule has kept him from visiting.

Louisiana’s Democrat Gov. John Edwards provided Obama with some additional cover:

.@LouisianaGov takes @POTUS off the hook for urgent visit to flooded areas. Prefers he wait 10-14 days so police can continue flood response

SOMEBODY’S owed an apology:

democrat hypocrisy at its finest. Bush lambasted 4 flying over & deciding not to land so as not 2 distract

So, the same thing GW Bush argued, in other words. https://t.co/PPtv3NEcVf

Thanks to the Louisiana governor, Obama can now claim that his round of golf with Larry David yesterday was totally justified.
