People may have forgotten his earlier gulf failure-although I’m not sure given the continuing effects of his malfeasance-but, what they can’t forget because it’s very current is It’s The Economy Stupid. He is going down hard, period.
the ONLY reason several models have TS Isaac going anywhere near New Orleans is because it has NO friggin’ eye, and that makes it harder for the Computer models to make up their mind.
Don’t promote panic with this crap.
We’ve got enough to deal with down South.
Obama should just issue a executive order that it by-passes NO.
The Economy will come roaring back with Lap Dances and Buffets for everyone. It will be Obama’s greatest triumph!
Re-posting comment from a few days ago:
In 2005 Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans resulting in the (I believe first-ever) cancellation of the Southern Decadence celebration which is a gay Mardi Gras.
After the city was rebuilt, this event started up again building numbers back to previous 100,000+ levels, but was cancelled again in 2008 due to Hurricane Gustav.
The levels were reduced somewhat in 2011 because Tropical Storm Lee scared off many from outside of New Orleans traveling in for the weekend resulting in about 20% hotel cancellations.
This year’s event is scheduled Wednesday, August 29 through Monday, September 3.
Maybe O-Bah-Mah will suspend his campaign to deal with the crisis.
This hypothetical is totally unrealistic. It presumes that the Obama Regime could do what needs to be done in an emergency. In the real world, their far left ideology would prevent Obama's people from getting the job done. It would be more important that the contracts go to favored businessmen than that the food get to those in need. It would be more important that unions get the work than that the work actually get done where needed. In reality, a strike on New Orleans would be a disaster for Obama's people because it would put their ongoing disaster on public display.
This time, NO MAJOR bump from this storm. Any “bump” that comes out from it will be very short and temporary.
The problem with the positive scenario for Obama is that they will never get their act together and handle a second Katrina any better than Bush. So, I think it could be a devastating event for him. Indeed, I suspect it will be the locals who do a better job of handling the hurricane — not the Feds. Now Jindal is governor of Louisiana and it will be an opportunity for him to shine.
