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.

Is BO wearing an Army helmet, while riding around in a tank and with his head outside of the tank?

Gene Siskel was the sane movie reviewer and often disagreed with the leftist airhead Robert Ebert.

Next: Obama starring in an updated version of “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World”.

FOr the next hurricane, Obama will do a remake of “Waterworld II - Global Warming Gone Mad”

Did you know that Al Gore played the whale Moby Dick in the latest remake of that classic film? Just look it the whale’s eyes and you can see Gore under all that makeup.

Just saw the film “The Turning Point” (about ballet teachers and students). Thought I saw Rahm Emanuel in it. Or was that Ron Reagan Jr, or both?

Long hurricane weekend, plus an earthquake and a tropical storm before that. Can’t wait to see what this week brings.

PS: DC functioned despite Obaby being at Martha’s Vineyard (where the rich white liberals and rich black liberals play at ruling the world).

Re #306: Dukakis in an armored tank helmet.

Looks like one of the “Whack-A-Moles” I hit this past weekend at Rehoboth. Must be related. Same teeth.

Ray Nagin was busy looting a Chocolate shop. His helper was some guy with a Heineken in his pants pocket.

It’s important to know what the Federal responsibilities are and what the Federal rules are.

For example, in Katrina, the Feds could do nothing unless Governor Blanco asked specifically for actions. She did nothing, authorized only cleanup, and when the FEMA personnel and trucks waited at teh Louisiana state line, the media blamed Bush for inaction.

So Obama is “leading” disaster response now? Without specific letters of authorization, all he can do is pose for pictures in a “command center”.

Although he DID promise to make the oceans stop rising...

They even put ‘extra’ gravitas gray in his hair for the occasion.

Yeah, almost looks like Grady from Sanford and Son.

IT WORKED!

Just like he promised in his winning speech-
The oceans receded now that he is in charge!

Even the hurricane feared him.
It suddenly became a tropical storm.
