1. Something tells me his "fly over" will have a better outcome ...

... We're counting on you, Mr. President!

3. He landed in New Orleans

Met Jindal, so it will be more than a fly over.

5. Thank you!

He will be involved and he won't be eating cake at some fat cats birthday!

2. It's so strange to see a President who doesn't wear the insignia on his jacket, socks, belt & boots.

4. I can do without those boots from Texas...

... worn by a jackass who wasn't from Texas, but sure tried to be.

Put those boots in a hall of shame after perp walking that criminal!

10. I know the president has to preside over the entire country, but I...

can't help but feel that he's a much bigger person than I am. Having to stand there with a jackass like Jindal who thinks the government should stay out of people's business. The irony is just too delicious.

11. I cannot think of anyone better suited to lead our country than Barack Obama
