Dems. Ignore Gulf Storm Victims at Convention

On Monday, President Obama traveled to Louisiana to tour flood damage after Hurricane Isaac hit the Gulf region last week.

“As you can see, there has been enormous devastation in St. John’s Parish, and that’s not the only place that’s been hard hit,” said Obama, speaking about 35 miles from New Orleans, a city that had been devastated in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit. “We’ve also seen enormous damage in Plaquemines Parish and in other parts of Louisiana and Mississippi.”
