Critics have pointed out how President Obama chose to remain on the golf course and not being with the grieving families in Louisiana during last week's devastating floods. As for Gov. John Bel Edwards, he's apparently not thrilled with GOP nominee Donald Trump for being there.
Trump surrogate and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had something to say about Edwards' chilly reception for the Republican ticket, reminding him that during the September 11 attacks, he welcomed all leaders to the Empire State, regardless of their politics. Trump, the mayor argued, has acted more presidential than the president himself.
