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.

“Obama takes charge at hurricane command center”
A Saturday Night Live skit in the making.
What a joke...got to make him look like he is doing something besides sitting in front of the tv watching sports...which is what he does 24/7...why doesn’t someone invoke the 25th?
LOL, “as the storm roared ashore”... Cat I storms don’t “roar” ashore. To be sure there is lots of rain, surge and such but roar? Not so much.
Even hurricanes fail with o-POS.
He looks more like Chavez and QDaffy every passing day. He is nothing but dangerous.
If he loses the election, and I pray he does even to my last breath, there is no telling what he will do before the inauguration... it is probably going to make anything we have ever seen before look like child’s play.
They even put ‘extra’ gravitas gray in his hair for the occasion.
The microphone spongey thingy makes him look like a contestant on Jeopardy. “Ill take Free FEMA Cash for $1000, Alex...”
>> distraction?
Campaign photo-op.
I’m sure there were more PR people and photographers than there were weathermen* in that command center.
* But speaking of weathermen, I bet Bill Ayers was invited...
If I was a fly on the wall, I’d buzz right on over and sh!t all over his fake grey hair.
He looks quite thin.
Fasting for Ramadan...
It’s not even a Cat 1. I checked the weather in various city’s in North Carolina this morning, using Intellicast. Most of the reported winds where in the 30’sto 40’s. What a whopper... For Obama, this is a Category 4 to 5. Can’t let a crisis go to waste, even a made up one.

Nothing like micromanagement at its finest ! One thing in common with these libs is their attitude that they know what is best and feel they are so important to micromanage detailed steps in resolving so called problems.
Fox has sustained winds at 85.
Forward speed is slowing.
The storm is half over land. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict it won’t even be a hurricane by the time it reaches NYC.
Maybe even no longer a tropical storm. I’m reminded of the many times Al Gore’s “global warming” photo ops have been sidetracked by blizzards. :)
This is how a real leader acts when the citizens are in danger! Not like George Bush did when Katrina hit New Orleans! (S)
“Just great. Now TSA is involved.”
What are They going to do? Frisk and X-ray Irene as she passes by.
ice cream withdrawals..?
Oh please..so very presidential!
the key word is APPEAR...
I hear he has SEAL TEAM 6 on the way to ice the tropical storm, now.......film at 11. Movie and book October next year.
