...and Biden is disappointed because he can’t find the controls to steer the suckers.

During the Gulf oil spill why didn’t he walk out to the burning rig and lay hands on it? Huh??

So completely agree.

Obama is like the guy who looks for a parade, then runs to march in front to pretend he’s leading.

It’s humorous how much liberals are hyping this hurricane.

Already it’s only a cat-1.

"I'm their leader. Which way did they go?"

“This is obviously going to be a touch and go.”

Just great. Now TSA is involved.

Oh hell, now’s the time to start praying for a hurricane downgrade for REAL! The man/child is standing in front of the tinker toys for a photo-op session, cannot find the ‘on’/’off’ button.

distraction?

Desperation to find something, anything, to stop the freefall in his numbers. If he ever loses media favor enough that there is a serious investigation into his background, he and everyone around him is completely screwed.

yep...that’s what ‘leading from behind’ looks like.

(how do you lead from behind? well, just retreat, then at some point, pirouette...the pirouette president)

once a projected cat 3-4 hurricane comes ashore weakened to a 1, stays on shore weakening more and more, jump into the ‘suggestion center’ (was the command center till you arrived) and start spinning

...personally led his government’s response...

I thought he hisself said he was Abraham Lincoln. I vaguely recall Lincoln once saying "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people..."

What is this "his government" BS? That is VERY offensive to me.

The only leadership skills he has is leading his family to shave ice shop.

Obama told a group in the command center. “This is obviously going to be a touch and go.”

I couldn't agree more. Unless cooler heads prevail, Obama is likely to take a minor storm and turn it into man made disaster.

Everything he touches turns to an abomination...
