Obama: I Want to Say ‘Thank You to the Outstanding Officials’ Who Have Working 24-7

OBAMA: “To begin with, I just want to say thank you to the outstanding officials behind me who have been on the ground working 24/7 since this flood happened. It begins with outstanding leadership from the top, with the governor John Bel Edwards, and we very much appreciate all the outstanding work he has done, his better half, the first lady of Louisiana,who I know has been by his side every step of the way. We are grateful for her. I know they have their own cleaning up to do because the governor’s mansion was flooded as well."
