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.

Oh great this will be the only time on record that a Cat-2(1) hurricane will completely destroy the US from North Carolina to Maine.

Well good news is it will be Obama’s fault...

“Leading” from the rear.

Sensing a pattern here.

When I heard a clip of him on the radio yesterday saying that this was going to be an historic hurricane and the federal government and FEMA were prepared to handle it, I almost choked with laughter.

He so wants it to be big! Bigger than Katrina. To prove that he can handle a disaster. To prove that liberals can handle a disaster unlike the Republicans and Bush and Brownie.

God help us with this idiot in charge.

“Obama returned home one night early on Friday from his island vacation on Martha’s Vineyard off Massachusetts and appeared keen to be visibly in charge as the response to Hurricane Irene unfolds.”

Obama is always keen to appear to be in charge of things. “Leading from behind” simply means staying in the background while all the serious decisions are made and then racing to the head of the parade to announce “Mission accomplished.”

I’m sure he’s bitterly disappointed that Irene turned out to be a Category 1 pipsqueak instead of a Category 4 catastrophe that would have swept all the bad news about the economy off the front pages.

ROFL is right. Zero’s going to ride his Katrina, although poor Irene’s suffering from CHD - cataclysmic hurricane disfunction. She’ll be a TS soon, and that goes for old zero, too. In any case, $200 VISA cards for all minorities in NYC!

from the article

‘and (barry) appeared KEEN to be visibly in charge
as the response to Hurricane Irene unfolds’

Exactly.

He needs to be appear to be in charge
of anything.

Trouble is, he’s a major weenie who has
never been in charge of anything.

Maybe they’ll sit him in front of an unconnected
box with dials and knobs and tell him to
punch buttons. Like the rides in front
of grocery stores.

Now there’s a visual for ya!
