Rachel Maddow gave covering fire for President Obama on her MSNBC show on Thursday over his initial decision to stay in Martha's Vineyard instead of visiting flood-stricken Louisiana. Maddow spotlighted the "scathing editorial" from a Lousiana newspaper criticizing the Democrat over the move, but defended the President by pointing a finger at former Governor Bobby Jindal: "Even before this storm, Louisiana, as a state, had really been on the brink of economic disaster...state coffers, honestly, were really, really, really drained by the fiscal policies of previous governor, Bobby Jindal." [video below]

The liberal host first noted how "the homeland security secretary, Jeh Johnson, toured the flooded streets of Baton Rouge, met with survivors, visited shelters." She soon continued that "nearly a week into this disaster now, the people of Louisiana, in many cases, say they feel forgotten by the rest of the country." Maddow zeroed in on The Advocate's recent op-ed criticizing President Obama:

OMG...how long has Jindal been out of office....they have a Dem Gov but it's always a Repub's fault..

And remember how....during Katrina.....they also had a Dem Gov that refused initial offers of help from GWB.  Also had a Dem Mayor of New Orleans that failed dismally.  But of course, GWB got ALL of the blame for that, yet another disaster ....that is the usual case when leftists run things.  In addition to being epic failures, Democrats are nothing if not flaming-A hypocrites.
