"I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. A month ago I was meeting with fishermen down there standing in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be." This was the exact quote from the interview. His claim is that he was down there before most people were even paying attention! Yes, he claims to have been down there a month ago, but he's trying to make it sound like he has been there since the start. That is the direction this comment is leading! When in reality he was there 12 days after it happened. This lie and distortion of reality is on par with trying to make himself look tough just like the the who's *** to kick comment! Bottom line is he drug his feet do everything else in the world, but what he should have been doing. Look I didn't bring up Bush in my original statement, Gipper brought that to the table. I also don't wanna talk about idiotic conspiracy theory about Obama, or idiotic comments made by his wife. My point is he botched the handling of this from the beginning now he wants to rewrite history to make it look like he and his administration were there from the beginning. Even James Carville said "if this had happened under the Clinton administration Clinton would have moved the WH to Louisiana." No I don't think he meant literally but rather more symbolic. No Obama couldn't have physically done anything, but he needed to address the Nation, he needed to be seen down there talking to people, talking with Jindal, promising the equipment and making sure it was delivered ASAP! None of which he did immediately, and as far as the equipment goes he still hasn't made sure that Jindal has what he needs. Instead he shows up for the first time 12 days later to finally see the people, after he is starting to get flack from the media for not doing anything. Yet, now he wants to make it sound like he was proactive from the beginning! That is my issue with this, yep he was down there a month ago, but that was 11 days to late. This wasn't a war zone, this wasn't a Katrina, he could have/should have been there sooner and he wasn't. So don't talk tough, don't make it sound like you were on top of things because he wasn't.
