>$200? Anything less than five bills and every PC Richard in the metro area gets looted.
Okay, okay! Five bills. Just ... just don't hurt anybody. Bernanke can print more, ya know. LOL
What does twinkles know about hurricanes?
Between Bush and Obama they have made America a country that is now afraid of its own shadow, everything is a crisis, everything is dependent on government. A small earthquake gets labeled as some huge event, hysteria, a cat 1 hurricane although this will bring much inconvenience there is serious overblown hype and threats of impending doom...
Obama is all about the FEAR.... FEAR FEAR FEAR he wants America afraid..... It’s time to stop the FEAR.
BUMP!
'Yes, we need to pass this bill tonight or the world ends tomorrow.' . I don't remember that before GWB.
Don't forget those that said that Bush didnt do enough. They deserve a kick in the pants too.
Yet another campaign stop for the poseur in chief.
“Obama told a group in the command center. “This is obviously going to be a touch and go.”
That’s exactly what it will be to him. Make a campaign stop and then take off.
Perfect for fawning MSM coverage, Obama saved the east coast from getting wiped off the map, reactors from melting down, etc.
Obama probably stopped by for the delivery pizza they ordered.
FYI: I live just outside DC, this is nuthin’ but an occasional hard wind blow with fairly steady rain ...
BTW: If you saw the national news and the reporting from Ocean City, MD - this isn’t ANYTHING like Hurricane Isabel in 2003.
I was project managing the renovation of a beach-side condominium in Ocean City that year - evacuated all of my workers, but I stayed behind to cut commercial power to the building should the ocean surge breach BOTH sets of dunes that protect the building.
It DID breach, but only a couple of inches of water came up to the base of the building - so no cut in power was needed.
Irene hasn’t even breached the first dune yet [if ever] - and most of the worst is already over in Ocean City ...
...couldn’t lead a Kindergarten assault on a bag of M&M’s
A bit over the top. None of his advisors are leaders?
"What do you mean this thing is coming ashore as a CAT 1? You promised it would be CAT 4 or greater! Damn it! You're fired!"
Self reliance perishes. Liberty continues to erode.
This ‘grip & grin’ or ‘dog & pony’ show should be worth a few votes. Anyone who believes this is nothing more than pre election pandering is probably a liberal.
The picture they had with it had him appearing to be pouting and ready to throw a tantrum. Just as Camille is no longer the standard for hurricanes, Carter is no longer the standard for incompetent boobs who harm this Nation.
Who wants to bet that they were praying for Ø to leave so they could get back to work?
About how this is clearly the polar opposite to the media Lie about Bush’s response to Katrina, then watch for reports of the man on the street being reassured by Barack the Growth Slayer’s leadership.
Followed up with skewed polls that will literally resurrect him plummeting approval and their endless marveling of the Obama renaissance.
Just as the media bias made a lie out of Bush’s Katrina response, media bias will make a miracle out of Obama presence.
Prepare your Barf Bags now.
[ BTW, the noise you make vomiting over the media’s fawning coverage of King Obama is officially ‘Barack!’ ]
Obama takes charge...
ROTFLMAO, 0bama couldn’t lead a group of girlscouts out of the woods.
Actually, he would let the girlscouts lead the way and then when they got back to civilization...
Meanwhile, over a million people in eastern NC and southeastern Virginia begin cleaning up their own downed trees and dealing with significant flooding and storm surge, totally ignored by the MSM because the good folks of the Southeast are (a) not in New York and (b) not up Obama’s ass.
BTW, the “maximum sustained winds” line from the NHC discussions aren’t propaganda. It’s an estimate based on data from the Hurricane Hunter aircraft fly-throughs. The strongest winds on a hurricane are typically in the northeastern quadrant near the eyewall, so if there are still hurricane winds in Irene, they’ll show up on the Long Island beaches when the center of the storm comes onshore. Also, they’re the *maximum* sustained wind...the sustained winds will probably be lower, so in most areas, Irene will feel like a tropical storm.
