What did Obama know about the Redoubt volcano, and when did he know it?

There’s more people in Alaska? I thought it was just the Palin family and a load of caribou.

“The democrat media will be all over Gov. Palin’s response.”

I think the Governor of Alaska is more competent than the former Governor of Louisiana.

To all of you keyboard commanders dissing Alaska and Sarah Palin, STFU.

You have no idea what Alaska is about and could care less if we told the US to take a hike which we probably will do.

If our volcano erupts it erupts, we have them everywhere, we have earthquakes here that destroy cities elsewhere but here does almost no damage.

Why?

Because we are better built and better prepared, and we take action unlike the spineless lower 48.

There I need a smoke now that I’m finished.

After Mount St. Helens, I am extremely wary of volcanoes. The best response is to get in the car and drive as far away from it as possible.

No, the fact that the volcano erupts means that he hates white people. That’s the more accurate analogy.

Don't laugh, I went thru a 7.9 shaker Nov 3rd 2002. Fema showed up with all the copper & necessary supplies to get me up and running again. I was sure glad they were around and don't bad mouth them nowadays.

Palins Fault?

Gore will rampage on how his Global Warming Caused the volcano to Blow and the ripple effect of all the Brown/Black and Polar bears will go into extinction and South America will flood due to the Alaskan Glaciers all melting blah blah blah.
