The Mississippi River is rising again, Is this a surprise?

It's late spring, early summer, and as Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise, surprise," the Mississippi is rising again. Is this really a surprise?  It seems like every year about this time, Tennessee and Mississippi get flooded.  And as usual, the news crews rush down there, bemoaning the fact that people are displaced and their homes are flooded.

Don't get me wrong, I do feel sorry for people who are displaced, but come on, when will people realize that living near a big fast moving river has dangers, and that they should move back away from the water?  I'm sure that FEMA will declare it a disaster area, and federal funds will pour in.

Contrast this to the wildfires in Texas, which were a genuine disaster that couldn't be prevented.  FEMA and the White House have already said that Texas is SOL (Shit out of luck,) and there won't be Federal funds for those who lost homes to something nobody could possibly control, much less predict.

It just goes to show that Obama is a tyrant and won't lift a finger to help people who didn't vote for him, or might be TEA Party Members, or even libertarians.  You'll have to forgive me if I'm confused, but isn't a President supposed to work for everybody, not just those who voted for him?  Should he represent all American's?

Is it any wonder that half the country wants him gone, hopefully back to Kenya, where he has a passport.
Because god knows, he doesn't use an American Passport when he travels.
