A thread in which I compare the president’s weekly address to my experience and photographs of the same time, same date, same location.The speech excerpts are from Obama’s Weekly Address. Photos are from me taken on the ground at Grand Isle and Caminada Bay in Grand Isle, Louisiana during the Presidential visit! Some of these things are not like the other!

The New BP (Bayou Polluter) Reality |
| By: Dakinikat Friday June 4, 2010 7:56 pm |
I taught my 8 am microeconomics class, grabbed my friend visiting from Omaha (who is now the headline on Channel Six news for being one of the few real tourists in Grand Isle for a few weeks), and took off for what I can only describe as a trip into an alternate reality. It took me no time at all to figure out that one side of the island has shores that are dead zones while the other harbors–for who knows how long–birds, insects and people who may not live there much longer. In the middle of all of this, a gale force wind with driving rain hit and President Obama visited. I may have to turn this into a series of posts because I have so much to describe that I really don’t feel that one post will do it justice.

Unless you’ve spent some time down here on the Gulf Coast, you’re unlikely to really understand the people that live down here. Hard scrabble is a way of life. Historically, we’ve had systemic attacks on our people, our culture and our environment. The hostility runs pretty deep down here because the history of maltreatment runs pretty deep. There are several historical events that you really need to understand to understand the people of Southeastern Louisiana and the surrounding areas

I’m reprinting a thread I wrote about a 1 1/2 years ago on my blog Skydancing Women because they’ve just done it to us again. We’re supposed to go along for the greater good of the “health” plan. Give Obama a win. Hope they correct the injustices against women later. Well, ladies and sympathetic gentlemen, they rarely do …
Nancy Pelosi is a SEX traitor.
Call me ALICE PAUL DakiniKat. I want to Bring BACK the National Women’s Party. Fuck any one that would sell out all the women in the United States to get the approval of the a few nasty, pedophile enabling Bishops. This is America and that is against everything we should stand for.
