I'm a native Louisianan, and I remember first seeing Mary Landrieu -- she came to speak at our high school during her first Senate campaign. I wasn't that impressed with her, and I've remained a lukewarm fan at best.
But yesterday she said something very simple and very true:
The comments came after an NBC reporter asked the senator why Obama has such low approval ratings in Louisiana. Landrieu's first response was that the president's energy policies are deeply disliked by residents of the oil and gas-rich state. She then added, "I'll be very, very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."Republicans weren't pleased:
State Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere issued a statement late Thursday calling Landrieu's remarks "insulting to me and to every other Louisianian."
"Louisiana deserves better than a senator who denigrates her own people by questioning and projecting insidious motives on the very people she claims to represent," he said. "Senator Landrieu and President Obama are unpopular for no other reason than the fact the policies they advance are wrong for Louisiana and wrong for America."
Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal issued a statement calling Landrieu's comments "remarkably divisive" and Maness issued a statement calling on the senator to apologize.they say the truth hurts and republicans have the thinnest skin in political circles the dish lies with impunity but when they are called with evidence to confirm well break out the Huggies and a pacifier. these are the same people who denied 87% of the citizens of that state health care and refused to expand Medicaid.

with reports of impending doom of republican wins people seem to have forgotten "THEY ARE REPUBLICANS" look at the last 6 years some of you blame Pres. who is in the news everyday trying to get this done and that for you to have a better life only thing stopping him and neglecting you yeah those same republicans. if you are mad because you don't have a job Pres. has had 53 months of continued job growth think of how much more it would be if they didn't block him and their old fall back keystone pipeline on 20 thousand jobs at best and that would be in states it went through. none of that oil will be at your corner gas station but the money will be in right wing republican pockets. not to mention how dangerous it is. it's leaking before it leaves Canada'
