@LouisianaGov: Within 24 hours, @WhiteHouse has already said they will help with fed funding for BR traffic @WAFB @La_DOTD
If they seriously do something positive I will have to say this is a win for BR. I do not agree with the pres. on a lot but this is something that every BR resident can relate to no matter what your political affiliation is. If they get some funding for something such as a LOOP? Or something about that Washington St. Exit I would be pumped. I'm not going to hold my breath but its just crazy one visit and a little complaining to the commander and chief and boom.

And he still didn't come in from laffy. If he would have had to sit in that he would have impeached himself

They will probably write the check to New Orleans.

Federal funds should not ever be used for local projects. How ridiculous.

Saying one thing and doing it are two different things. He is working on his legacy tour. So he is saying anything, just like all the rest did.

Mehh.... Politics gonna politic..
It's not like Barry is going to send a crew out next week to get to work on this.... Typical pandering IMHO.

If it's for improvements to the interstate system through BR... why not? It's a federal highway.

Bobby J was a petulant dick towards Obama. There is having political differences, and there is being an a-hole like Bobby. How many times did Bobby refuse federal money to prove a political point?
FWIW: I think Obama is the worst president in history, but you have to play ball every once in a while especially when you are in the shape La is in.

Well BR interstate has been under construction literally for about 15 years straight.

WTF? and someone upvoted this post. Improving traffic in BR is all about relieving pressure on I10 and building a loop...not only helps locals but also people passing through.

IF big IF, we get the cash it is because they want to make it look like electing a Democrat will get you $$$$. It's not about doing the right thing. But frick it. Just fix that damn road.

They will give the funds, but you won't see any improvement in the roads. That's how it works with the federal money grab bag.

He will be gone in a flash and won't have to deal with New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Louisiana ever again. The people that believe him are the same idiots that voted for him.
