This is very true. Looks like Obama is disregarding Nashville just
like he disregarded the ice storms that knocked out the power in that
area and the floods on the Missouri this year. And he is not exactly
covering himself with glory for his handling of the oil spill either.
Kinda makes you wonder just what he thinks his job is supposed to be.

The Obama Nashville Scandal
OPINION, May 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Randall Terry submits the
following for publication and is available for comment:
It is now glaringly obvious that President Obama has offered little
moral support to the citizens of Nashville Tennessee and the
surrounding areas that have been devastated by the recent flood.
Has the President visited the area? No. Has he done a "fly by?" No.
Has he held a press conference discussing this tragedy, and the valor
of those who are rebuilding? No.
The obvious question is, why? Why has the Obama administration all but
ignored one of the largest non- hurricane disasters in American history?
Is the death toll not high enough? Are the citizens too self- reliant?
Was there not enough rioting? Were there not enough suffering minorities?
Could it be that any involvement he had would not bring him much
personal credit for "fixing" the crisis? Is it because there was not a
big enough political payoff?
Is it because he lost Tennessee in 2008? Or perhaps he just hates
country music.
Whatever the reason for his absence, it is scandalous.
The role that Nashville plays in our country's history, folklore,
entertainment, culture, and especially the music that makes us laugh
and love and weep is singularly unique.
For that reason alone Obama should have been on the ground offering
his heartfelt sympathy, condolences, and admiration for the valor
shown by those in the crisis.
Instead he is conspicuously absent, focusing on oil and its political
fallout in the Gulf of Mexico.
A key secondary insult in this debacle is that the national press has
all but ignored the depth of the crisis Tennesseans are facing.
I started calling friends and family asking them if they knew what was
happening in Nashville. Almost none of them did. The story has not
dominated the news in the DC/New York corridor; for that matter, it
has barely been covered.
The net result of that is that hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans
are suffering significant hardship, dozens are dead and missing, and
most Americans are clueless. The benefit concert that was held to
raise money for the victims of this flood was ignored by the national
media.
Why? Because Obama ignored it.
All President Obama has to do is visit Nashville, or even fly Air
Force One over Nashville, and hold a press conference in the air, and
it will change the entire equation. Then the New York Times and the
Washington Post and the major TV networks will give this tragedy the
coverage it deserves.

On a comedic note, see "Sir Reginald Bling" of Randall Terry's new TV
show admonish President Obama, and urge him to "git to Nashville!"
