As the old proverb says, “Barack Obama does not care about black people.”

A recent survey shows that  one-third of Republicans in Louisiana blame president Obama for the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina.

You might be thinking, “Do they mean the Hurricane Katrina that happened in 2005?” or “Do they mean the President Obama who was elected in 2008?”  Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, indeed.

But, before you make some absolutely outrageous and idiotic statement based on pure hate instead of fact, let’s try to figure out the logic of these mavericks.

I think it’s pretty safe to assume about 15 percent of these folks confused the similar-sounding names of George Bush and Barack Obama. Ugh, I always get those confused! The names and presidencies are really so similar that this question is just “gotcha!” journalism at its best.

Another large percentage of these people are probably such big fans of President Obama that they have blocked anytime that he was not president out of their memory.

Then, there’s the rest of these Republicans who are such big Obama fans that they’ve come to think of him as a living God that controls the weather.

Last Thursday, a nine-year-old boy snuck onto a flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas without a ticket or a family. It wasn’t until mid-flight that the Delta Airlines flight team realized that they had an unwelcome visitor aboard.

I for one am pretty impressed with this young tike. Besides Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 1, this has got to be the most courageous child under the age of ten.

I would like to clarify that I was thoroughly unimpressed with Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, because he got too soft with all of that bird lady stuff, and don’t even get me started on his replacement, Alex Linz, in HA3.

That being said, I think we need to address the elephant in the room.  We’ve all been thinking it, so I’m just going to ask: is there any chance that this boy is actually a grown man suffering from Benjamin Button disease? Curious.

I look forward to the follow-up story when we find out just how much this little champion of the skies was able to steal from the Bellagio once he touched down in the Capital of Second Chances.
