WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama on Saturday personally led his government’s response to Hurricane Irene, marshalling top officials and visiting a disaster command center as the storm roared ashore.

Obama greeted officials at the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) set up at the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) headquarters in Washington, and then held a video conference with federal and state officials.

Hey everyone, it’s ok, remember what the “Messiah” said on the campaign trail in 2008 that “He” had the power to raise the sea levels and heal the earth? Don’t worry everyone we’re going to be fine./sarc

An election is coming up after all. Things aren’t looking good and he knows it so he goes back to his bad acting.

What cracks me up is the picture of him sitting at a desk in his shirt sleeves waiting for a hurricane that basically wasn’t much of a hurricane. Certainly no Katrina.

Just one more demonstration of what a BAD MANAGER he is. What does he know about hurricanes? Nothing. GOOD managers hire competent people and stay the hell OUT of their way.

This is.... pathetic. Jimmy Carteresque.

“President Obama is the only man knowledgeable and capable enough to manage our response to this monstor storm created by out of control global warming,” asserted Mrs. Obama.

So what? You still owe us $10,000,000 for ONE vacation. All the others are being added up as well. Get your checkbook ready, honey. This little piddle puddle storm ain’t gonna make any of us forget. Yo little girly man could walk on water and we would STILL want our money back.

"I, Major General Obama, Am Taking Charge at Hurricane Command Center"

I am the very model of a modern Major General
I've information vegetable, animal and mineral
I know the kings of England, I can quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical

I've learned what progress has been made in modern warfare gunnery
But in matters hurricanical I'm like a novice in a nunnery
In short, I have no smattering of weather strat-e-gery
But I'm still the coolest Major General in matters mil-i-tary

Hand me muh swagger stick.....

Obama takes charge at hurricane command center

He couldn't "take charge" of the zipper on the front of his pants. What? No zipper? So, that's his problem?
