I'm not asking you to ignore suffering in Mississippi or anywhere else.
Whatever various scams you think you're aware of, I think you are missing the big picture in your haste to rush to Obama's defense. I provided links to information that might give you a different, if not broader, perspective. Check them out, or don't; what you do matters not to me.

It's not on my say-so, and had you done some research you would know that.
The feds (FEMA & all federal monies, the disaster response, the reconstruction, all of the programs related to them, all post-disaster policies, for medical needs, hospitals, schools, etc.) gave out money in a near equal share to Louisiana as it gave to Mississippi, in spite of the fact that Louisiana had 75% of the damage done by Katrina and Mississippi had 23%.

Louisiana was asking that the relief dollars flow in proportion to the damage.
Mississippi has gotten a disproportionate amount of relief dollars simply because at the time of Katrina, Republicans controlled the White House and Congress, and a Republican was governor of Mississippi and a Democrat was governor of Louisiana. What happened with Republicans in power was a political response, and not a humanitarian response.
Nothing's changed with Democrats in power.
