On his last full day of vacation, President Obama spoke to the traveling press pool and warned east coast residences to be prepared for hurricane Irene. This is part of what he had to say.
I cannot stress this highly enough: If you are in the projected path of this hurricane, you have to take precautions now. Don’t wait. Don’t delay. We all hope for the best, but we have to be prepared for the worst. All of us have to take this storm seriously. You need to listen to your state and local officials, and if you are given an evacuation order, please follow it. Just to underscore this point: We ordered an aircraft carrier group out to sea to avoid this storm yesterday. So if you’re in the way of this hurricane, you should be preparing now.
If you aren’t sure how to prepare your families or your home or your business for a hurricane or any other emergency, then you can visit Ready.gov - that's Ready.gov - or Listo.gov. That's Listo.gov.
Now, since last weekend, FEMA has been deploying its Incident Management Assistance Teams to staging areas in communities up and down the coast. FEMA has millions of liters of water, millions of meals, and tens of thousands of cots and blankets, along with other supplies, pre-positioned along the Eastern Seaboard. And the American Red Cross has already begun preparing shelters inNorth Carolinaand other states.
These resources are all being coordinated with our state and local partners, and they stand ready to be deployed as necessary. But, again, if you are instructed to evacuate, please do so. It's going to take time for first responders to begin rescue operations and to get the resources we've pre-positioned to people in need. So the more you can do to be prepared now - making a plan, make a supply kit, know your evacuation route, follow instructions of your local officials - the quicker we can focus our resources after the storm on those who need help the most.
To sum up, all indications point to this being a historic hurricane. Although we can’t predict with perfect certainty the impact of Irene over the next few days, the federal government has spent the better part of last week working closely with officials in communities that could be affected by this storm to see to it that we are prepared. So now is the time for residents of these communities - in the hours that remain - to do the same. And FEMA and Craig Fugate, the director of FEMA, will be keeping people closely posted in the next 24, 48 hours.
Taking bets now that the GOP and Tea-Party will blame Obama for Hurricane Irene.
oh like the libs went after President Bush on the Florida hurricane? Gosh BO did cut his vacation short a couple of hours...bet your fannie BO will manage this for some political hay...bet your life actually.
I will take that bet and double your bet that Obama will blame this storm for the weak economy. Lets recap who/what he has blamed so far, Arab Spring, Japanese Quake and Tsunami, GOP, Weak European Economies, Fox News, and wait for it ATMs, to name a few.................Now for the who, Limbaugh, Hannitity, Beck, Bush, Millionaires, Billionaires, Private Jet Owners (who he is vacationing with) and wait for it.................The Mad Money Man Kramer (who actually donated $100 to his campaign) to name just a few. Obama owns the blame game, he is the leader of the blame game, that is all he does!
the blame is still president Bush.
@Rich Well if I remember correctly it is Bush's fault for our bad economy, or at least part of it. Because of him we owe more money to China than even the BILLIONAIRES can pay back (this is called exaggeration, so deal with it!!!) We are also in 2-3 wars that we are spending millions of dollars and lives on. I mean seriously, the man has RUINED things, Obama comes to fix things, & it's all his fault! I think Bush should choke on pretzels again so all you people can have something else to worry about...
And the conservative doesn't blame Obama for anything? Think about it... both sides blame each other for everything and both sides think they are right all the way even putting their countrymen at risk. It is BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT that owns the blame game. THINK about it. Don't be conservative or liberal anymore... be independent. It is the only way to let go of this "blame game" we americans have for so long endured.
you people are idiots
Sorry, but I think the Republicans will blame the storm on Obama.
wake up......is coming .
Don't believe the Hype.
Irene should go right over to the white house and make it a sad, sad memory.
Faux news is going to sensor everything you say if it insults Obama.
I'd rather take the bet that Obama will blame Bush, the GOP, Rick Perry, the tea party, or the rich for Irene!
Sounds like a good idea to me! Afterall, he is "The One"! 🙂
Dear Mr. Obama, I live in Virginia Beach, please send Air Force One to pick me up. Hell, some of tax dollars paid for your flight to Andrews. Sincerely, Middle Class Sucker...
Plenty of hot air blowing with no conclusions.
The Georgia House passed a tough immigration law that would
require employers to verify the legal status of workers they hire.
House Bill 87, which has been likened to the Arizona immigration law,
was passed 113-56 and goes to the state Senate.
Under the measure, Georgia companies would be required to use E-Verify,
a federal database, to check the documentation of current and prospective
employees. That database had been created by Congress as a voluntary,
discretionary resource.
The bill criminalizes the transportation of illegal immigrants and allows
law enforcement officials to check the legal status of people in custody
in certain situations.
Apologists for illegal immigration try to paint it as
a victimless crime, but the fact is that illegal immigration
causes substantial harm to American citizens and
legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable
sectors of our population — the poor, minorities, and
children.
Illegal immigration causes an enormous drain on
public funds. The seminal study of the costs of
immigration by the National Academy of Sciences found
that the taxes paid by immigrants do not begin to
cover the cost of services received by them.
The quality of education, health care and other services
for Americans are undermined by the needs of
endless numbers of poor, unskilled illegal entrants.
Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants desperate
for any job unfairly depresses the wages and working conditions offered
to American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without
high school degrees.
Way to stay relevant Micky, NOT!!!
Stay on topic. Nice cut and paste.
Lets name all the things Bush was blamed for that he did not create. 1. 1999 .com burst that lead to the 2000 recession that started before GW was elected but libs till blamed him, 2 9/11 when was an intelligence bust that dated back to 1995 but rather than let Bill share the blame as was appropriate with Bush they blamed it all on Bush, 3 Tsunami, 4 Global Warming, 5 Katrina (as a racist act because GW is white and New Orleans is largely Black) but where were Nagen and Blanco, no one knows., 5 Hurricane Ike Sept. 2008 which by today's rules of blame and lack of responsibility absolve Bush of the 2008 recession.
A Moron trying to rewrite history. Give it up it can't be done.
I think the latest hurricane was caused by the burrito bush ate last week!
PREPARE FOR THE WORST ???
We already have the worst President in the history of America.
Save America ... Impeach Obama Now !!!
You must have your head up your behind or just another uneducated redneck racist.
Obama – Biden 2012
HA HA....you are a funny guy. Don't take this wrong, but your "tea" must have been spike with a dose of stupidity. ...I'm jus sayin' LOL ...Worst President Ever, this president ? Hardly, Bush 43 has already solidified that position and when we should have impeached the supreme court elected president, most of us gave him the benefit of the doubt.
But for the "not so smart", GOP/Tea people (is that you??) they don't like a smart president. They're comfortable with duh...You're doing a fine Job Brownie (don't worry about the dead bodies floating down the streets)- Geesh...we have got to work on the educational system in this country.
jean2009 is trying to protect the status of the EBT card he sells on Ebay every month.
Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his
party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread
line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with
me. He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all
the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged
home forever.
UR A DAMN IDOT. ALLOF U FEEL OBAMA CAUSED ANY OF UR JOBLESS HEART ACHES CAN GO TO HELL. SOME OF U ARE STILL WORKING THE SAME JOBS U HAD BEFORE THIS SO CALED RECESSION BUT JUST BECAUSE U WOULD RATHER SPEND UR MONEY ON BILL SHIT AND BEER THAN PAYING UR BILLS U WANNA BLAME OBAMA FOR LOSSING UR HOUSE. IF THE DAMN REPUBLICATIONS WOULD STOP TRYING SO HARD TO MAE A BLACK MAN LOOK BAD AND DO THEIR DAMN JOBS WHICH IS WORK FOR THE PEOPLE AMERICA WOULD BE A MUCH BETER PLACE AND FYI DUMB ASS...LIKEIT OR NOT ***OBAMA 2012***
Obama's whole crew worked together and was totally prepared with everything in place when Hurricane Irene came ashore. Complete opposite of the Bush gang who were absolutly discomboberated with Hurricane Katrina and yet they had the same amount of time to prepare. Bush never even checked in with New Orleans for a week afterwards, what a difference caring makes.
Sorry, the democrats have already blamed BUSH!
It's so true,B.Obama is one of the Best Presadent,that we've had, in a long time.So all you that are haters,will see,in the future..You can't see beyound your noses.Thats my opinion,but the truth is the truth.....
Awww....I see somebody is a little sore or has a poopy in their diapers (??) Grow up Mac, that line is nothing more than a bumper sticker. Means nothing. If you can't see Bush made huge mistakes, then you need to just take your meds and hope this president can clean it all up.
Listen, I hate to point out the obvious, but the destruction of this country occurred before Obama got sworn in. Only IDIOTS, COMPLETE MORONS, try to fix a problem without knowing its origin and the actions that created the problems. In other words, you must define the origins of a problem, before you can even begin to fix them. If this is new to you, then you shouldn't have dropped out of school in the 3rd grade.
So, if you are tired of the blame Bush thing, you have a while to go. Because intelligent people, like the President, have to work hard to figure out how to clean up the mess.
And this lesson was totally free. Now you go lay down, and we'll wake you when its all fixed – LOL
lol phearis, good point
Remeber Truman he had a plauqe in his office that said the Buck stops here
Obama has one it says "if all else fails blame it on President Bush
Well if Obama says to take Irene seriously, I'm sure conservatives will be heading for the beach.
Romney's problem is he is Mormon and not a moron to win the GOP nomination
Let's hope.
When President Bush was in Office I had 100's and 50's now with obama in charge all I have is change
no more obama that bastard is destroying this country every time he opens his mouth
Perry -Romney 2012 Restore america to its Greatness
Obama is a weenie- and a very small one, at that!
Those who automatically think the opposite of whatever Obama says will be running toward the beach.
How can we take the message of treating Irene seriously when we can't take Obama seriously? If Obama ever got to be the name of a hurricane that came to town, people would be outside flying kites, sunbathing and putting another shrimp on the barbie.
Certainly no one takes you seriously.
With morons like you, full of hate and partisanship, no wonder congress is gridlocked and America is falling behind the rest of the world. The President is caring for Americans in danger and you scoff at it?
I agree with you... you think we are here because of Obama? think again he has alot to clean up
Of course Obama cares- about his big contributors.
Oh give it up. You might not like him as a President, but at least he's doing something positive for us. Unlike Bush who gave a rats butt about the people in LA during Katrina. This storm might be much to do about nothing in the end, but at least we are prepared which is a GOOD thing.
You're as big a moron as your bum buddy Oboma! Hishtoric my a**.
I thought it was governor Blanco who disappeared on day 4 and I know I saw a news blast of Mayor Nagen saying everything was alright, from his 5 star luncheon, while the levy broke. All the while the feds were begging for permission from the state to declare a formal disaster area but no one answered their calls. Or the upstate LA sherriff I saw interviewed on TV on day 2 that had is caravan of emergency responders, fire trucks, county law officers etc turned away by the Louisana State Police at the order of New Orleans Major Nagen. Did any of you suffering Bush derangement syndrome see that. Oh the 400 N. Orleans school buses sitting in 6 feet of water while Nagen cried that the feds were not sending buses to evacuate the "people". If Obama can claim the weather for his troubles in lifting a recession then Bush should claim Katrina for part of the economic problems and Ike for the rest.
BO is prepared...and how is that? He hasn't been prepared for anything in his whole life...perhaps his telepromptor was prepared...hahaha
We could use this money to fuel America not Mexico--
How many migrants does it take to remit $21 billion a year
back to Mexico?
14,000,000 illegals sending home $1,500 a year
10,000,000 illegals sending home $2,100 a year
5,000,000 illegals sending home $4,200 a year
Did they undercount how many Illegals here?
"Illegal alien households are estimated to use $2,700 a year more
in services than they pay in taxes, creating a total fiscal
burden of nearly $10.4 billion on the federal budget in 2002."
"A May 28, 2004 study by Bendixen & Associates found that legal
and illegal immigrants send a total of $30 billion to their home
countries on an annual basis. Mexico receives $13.3 billion a year.
The largest amount in remittances ($9.6 billion) is sent from
California, followed by New York ($3.6 billion), Texas
($3.2 billion) and Florida ($2.5 billion). Of those surveyed by
the study, 24% were Latin American-born U.S. citizens, 39% were
legal residents, and 32% were illegal aliens. Sixty-one per cent
of those surveyed send remittances overseas at least once a month.
A typical remittance is between $150 and $250."
Goodwin- you are a fool! Pres. Bush had FEMA contact LA before Katrina and offer help. The idiot democrats in charge of LA told them they had it under control. The Fed cannot go into a state without the states permission. After it went south, they blamed the president and moronic yankoffs like you actually believed it. Facts don't lie- that's why libs hate them.
A. He's not Australian and. B. The last president that wasn't taken seriously ended up being blamed for the suffering of a bunch of idiots living in a city below sea level. So if your that stupid. Stay in your home and maybe you'll get washed out to see and around here we call that cleaning out the gene pool.
I find it very hard to take YOUR comment seriously. If you had no substance to add, you would have been so much better off just keeping your flighty, groundless thoughts to yourself.
It is a hurricane for god's sake! This isn't a political issue. People like you are pathetic and so filled with irrational hate. A potential disaster is imminent and the best you've got to say is a complaint about who won the election last year. I hope you don't take the warning seriously and live on a barrier island somewhere.
Sigh. I meant won the last election, not the election last year.
to all libs- your boy, obama, has already started setting the stage for this being an economic excuse when he called this 'an historic event'. Being from the gulf coast and having lived thru several hurricanes, Irene wasn't much more that a rain storm. 100mph winds? I've farted harder than that. Your boy is a loser and all that support him are also losers!
I'm not sure what this comment has to do with the President letting America know that we are prepared for a hurricane this time. Irene might just be alot of wind and rain with little damage, but atleast we are in position to take action if needed.
If there's something wrong with that truthman, please let us know.
You sound ridiculous. You may not take him seriously, but 10s of millions of others do! Anything concerning my wellbeing I will heed.
So I suggest you go out there and fly a kite.
tens of millions who are govt dependants and union lackys...and that would be about it...
I haven't been able to understand why anyone would take this president(?) seriously after he painted his logo on the tail of that plane and acted like he was already president.... I'm sure his next job will be a tv talking head...a real bs..er.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp
Maybe you should read the whole facts.
I really don't see a flag on McCain's either.
Obama is a wrecking ball, destroying the USA.
He is a clueless boob.
Crybaby Boobie, that is Obama. Cry and blame somebody else.
Draft Hillary now.
@ truthman,
It must have been miserable for you, always being the slowest student in school. Guess that was part and parcel for you dropping out after the 1st grade ? Am I right? :0)
Dude needs to stop letting the house burn as he watches and start jumping in there and start doing smoething before someone boots his ass from office. And yes, I know about JAPAN.
@Jazz
Your statment has to be the most incoherent diatribe I've ever seen. What do you expect "Dude" to do? Change the course of Mother Nature? Save people from flooding before it actually happens?
You sound like GOP/Teatard....all the criticism...zero solutions combined with even less intelligence
I AM PROUD OF THIS PRESIDENT. WE HAVE NOT HAD A PRESIDENT SINCE JOHN F KENNEDY THAT FOUGHT FOR THE MAJORITY OF CITIZENS. THE MAN HANDLES MORE IN ONE DAY THAN ANY PRESIDENT I HAVE LIVED UNDER. AND DON'T GO OFF THE HANDLE ALL THE WAY WHEN HE GETS GRIEF FROM THE NEO-CONS. KEEPING RACE ISSUES OUT OF THE CONVERSATION, RIGHT ON ON INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, KEEPS US MIDDLE CLASS IN MIND OF MAJOR DECISIONS, AND TRIES TO GET CORPORATIONS TO THINK ABOUT AMERICA AND NOT JUST GIANT PAYCHECKS FOR A FEW! IF PRESIDENT OBAMA GETS HIS WINGS, SECOND TERM OUGHT TO BE AWESOME ECONOMY AFTER 2012.
Can I hear an AMEN!!
if the righteous are barely saved
what will happen to G-d less sinners'
Thank you..Amen!
Obama is right we need to take this seriously. I saw on news about NYC as one of the difficultest place to evacuate because of the high number of its population and bridges around the city. I think they need to evacuate NYC today.
I EVEN REMEMBER PRESIDENT EISENHOUR ADMINISTRATION. HE WOULD HAVE GOT ALONG FINE WITH THIS NEW YOUNG PRESIDENT, BOTH ARE AND WERE EXCELLENT PEOPLE, JUST WISH DWIGHT WAS STILL AROUND!
Because, truthman... sometimes it's not about the messenger, it's about the message. Just because it comes from Obama doesn't mean it's NOT a dangerous storm. Maybe we should get off of politicizing an impending natural disaster and just get ready for the help that will surely be needed once Irene passes?
Truthman is obviously a teapotty fool.
We certainly hope everyone in the path of any hurricane (including Irene) will use good judgment and sense to provide for the safety of their family.
It is good to see that FEMA is already planning to provide assistance.
obama the clown went grandstanding if Katrena never happened to President George Bush
Bozo obama would be having his katrena right now
obama is a snake History will show he;s the worst disaster in this country since 9/11
thank god he is not going to be president again
PERRY – ROMNEY 2012 Restore America
@ truthman
We can take the message seriously because your views of the president have nothing to do with how dangerous a hurricane can be. If your in the soon to be affected areas then you should be listening to our president. Keep your political views separate from sound advice on natural disasters.
Hey truthman, a condo is waiting for you on the coast in North Carolina. How about you make your way over there right now for a surely riveting vacation.
Idiot.
My President is on his J.O.B., thank you Mr. President for NOT living up to the sterotypes these saltines have for you.
"truthman".........................your a clear example of WHY people should NOT live on banks of DENIAL (clue: not the river in Africa), you sound like a dumb-a__ FOOL!
Oh grow up Truthman. At least Obama cares about what happens to his fellow country men. That's more than I can say about you. Millions of people are in danger and your main concern is bashing Obama. People like you are tearing our country apart. Stop being so selfish and start thinking about someone besides yourself!!!!
First of all, truthman you probably supported a McCain Palin ticket so that means you supported Sarah Palin. Your opinion means nothing.
I did not know cnnnews.com sensored any positive comments about our President! Does Ted Turner going along with this? Strange behaviour by Mr. Turners editor or whomever deletes positive statements about President Obama, looks like CNN.com has a bigot on staff? I have copied original posting and will post on line later tonight along with this posting so everybody knows how Mr. Turner does business.. No more postings from me, did not know you did not like positive statements about my President rubuking right winger statements.
HEY OBUMBLES WILL IRENE BE AS HISTORIC AS THE FIRST MOOCHES SPENDING?
White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year.
Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where
she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol.
'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week
\or two off work. 'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.
The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip
to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel. And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard
is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.
'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.
'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next – all the
while sticking it to hardworking Americans.
God, more teabagger lies.
Bush and his family took at least 2000 days of vacation in 8 years, which comes out to about 250 days of vavction ayear ( more than 2/3 of each year in office). Dont believ me, look it up. It is on Politifact.com. How much did that cost us, I wonder? Where were you hypocrites when the Texan idiot drove the economy off the clift while vacation on his ranch in Crawford?
Please STFU. Dismissed!!!
bush was a worthless as tits on a board hog for president, him and his rich man's lackeys in the house and senate just about destroyed our manufacturing capabilities giving the rich more tax breaks taking them out of AMERICA. left a legacy that will take years to get back! THANKS NEO-CON losers, its about to blow up in your face. HAHAHA.
What a fool. You act as if none of us have memories. George did spend time at the ranch where he had many meetings with his cabinet and advisors, but the 250 days a year is a figment of your delusional mind.
@superlogi
George W. Bush spent 490 Days at Crawford Ranch, 487 Days at Camp David, 43 Days at Kennebunkport Compound ...1020 days vacation, or 2.79 years of his 8 year presidency...or (1/3rd) of his presidency on vacation.
Bush was on day 28 of a vacation at the Crawford Ranch when Katrina hit.
Where were you, and why were you not commenting then?
Jean you do realize that there are 832 weekend days in 8 years.
That comes to 2.28 years.
@ Jay the president is on duty 24/7 or 365.they do not get Saturday or Sunday off.
Jean, So what is it, do you say that presidents work 24/7 or that they take vacations? Make up your mind.
The fact is President Bush would fly to Crawford Ranch or Camp David most very weekend. That makes over 2.5 years of weekends. you have been telling your Liberal hate for so long you never took the time to think.
Obama is a clueless, worthless, incompetent boob, flapping in the wind just like he was in a hurricane.
Draft Hillary now. Away with the boob.
See post below.
Ellie, Keep repeating the same lies will not make them true.
wow....waa waa waa, Somebody get Ellie a tissue. All those complaints about this president. There obviously can't be any reason for him to do anything other than sit in the oval office. I mean vacations, smay-cation...who needs them right? Of course listen to whiners like you, day in day out, with zero solution but a boat load of criticism wouldn't be a reason for needing a vacation. The fact you and your kind would fight this president to even save american lives, is not a reason to need a vacation. Of course it isn't.
Tell ya what....get in the fight to save this country, instead of being a naysayer and its possible you might garner some margin of respect from intelligent people. Otherwise, your best audience is the faux news losers, where stupid is glorified.
Romney's problem is he is Mormon and not a moron to win the GOP nomination.
Perry is the Male Palin, this guy was found to be an idiot the moment he opened his mouth to spit nonsense about the Federal reserve in the first week itself
Oh! it is a beatiful histry. Gotcha!
We would take Irene more seriously if we could take Obama more seriously.
G-D opposes the proud
but favors the humble.
Dont take the pres seriously if u want to. watch the news on it then. bottom line is dont do anything bcuz someone else tell u so. be prepared bcuz u and ur family and friends lives r at stake. get and have the knowledge, make a plan, and if and when the time comes to use it do so. and jus in case have at least 1 to 2 back up plans in case the first plan is compromised. period
I guess Odumbo should have turned his mic off before this was heard...
" Okay there I've made a speech to these low life Americans...Now can I go back on vacation before Michelle runs me down with a golf club. Get Airforce one ready we are going to Disneyland."
i wonder who will be able to handle their hurricane better: bush for katrina or obama for irene? all the belly aching neocons do, even blaming obama for this on their neocon boards, and we will see results by the middle of next week.
It bothers me the post up here about Irene. I just hope none of you have to exprience what this storm will bring to my many friends and family. I support the message that my President addressed today. We all hope for the best, but even more so will be here supporting each other during the worse.
Oh boo hoo.
Party time is over.
It took a hurricane to drag him in off the golf course.
Hard to wind surf in a hurricane, huh?
Draft Hillary now.
Im not a fan of Obama but this hurricane has NOTHING to do with being political. At least he is warning people about what might happen. If you are ordered to evacuate then do so. If not, then you take your chances. I live on the east coast and around here , people are preparing for the worst.
Thanks Mr President, will do! God Bless America!
Obama is Great! God bless him and his family!
Take you seriously about a hurricane. Speak on and watch the wind turn warmer.
Hurricane Update: The TEA Party called to protest against Hurricane Irene. They demanded to see Irene's Birth Certificate and wanted Irene to pay up before it can cause any damage. Meanwhile, GOP leaders strongly supported a tax cut plan that would make Irene "trickle down". Democrats called Irene the younger sister of Katrina and blamed everything on Bush.
I guarantee u GOP & TP will say something opposite of Obama says or they'll wait to the end of the storm to start critisize Obama by telling is not the way a president talk when you've an unpresident thing will happen to a country like US. Remember GOP first job is defeat Obama, that means any thing he says or does is bad for America[ healthcare for every1, bring job back in US ect].
You lunatics just go right ahead and keep mocking GOD if you want to.
Only fools mock Almighty God.
GOD keeps trying to tell you simpletons something and you all keep sitting up there at those computers playing! Why do you think we (AMERICA) has been victim to so many events recently? Remember '2012'? WARNING: WARNING: You better get ready! My bad! I'm sorry...I should've known better...GOD has nothing to do with IRENE..does HE? GOD isn't the blame...OBAMA is! Pitiful Pathetics! 'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do'. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..courage.
It's a good thing that they have a plan and nobody's BSing trying to figure out who's gonna get the contracts. Katrina was shameful, and I know Obama doesn't want to go through any of that. The tornados in Alabama was the test for this I hope. Those towns that were wipedout are being rebuilt at a blinding pace.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is now offering free consultations with FEMA representatives at hardware and home improvement stores in three Alabama counties affected by the recent tornadoes. The outreach program will be expanded greatly in the coming weeks.
This how it should be done, I think Obama will pull a Dick Cheney with a shotgun if somebody messes this up.
All of this is ridiculous. Obama is a reasonable guy, giving advice to those affected. It is irrelevant what his political agenda is, or how much his wife spends. Get over yourselves, and get some lives.
This issue of irene is like the case of noah in the bible people were warned but they laughed at noah so those of u laughing or mocking obama would be shocked if u don't take instructions.
this is not about your feelings about Obama, this about Irene hitting the east coast. Stop bad mouthing the guy for one minute and focus all that attention on helping the victims of Irene. besides he is the President and there is nothing NONE OF YOU can do about it right know, GROW THE F UP..
Who,says Obama is a GOOD PRESIDENT.He,is excellent TROJAN HORSE.Although,there is 1-one,thing,Obama got right.Hurricane,Irene is coming.either to NYC,or Carolinas,so bunker down them hatches. JoAnn Bartholomew
How about 244 by September 28,2010?

God Bless our president and our country.
I love this country,opportunity for All who look. I love my family and will always work hard for them. If president says " be prepared.." I will do my best to protect those I love. Politics aside good luck to those in way of hurricane.
Good to see the food stamp king is off the golf course and heading back to work.
Hard to wind sruf in a hurricane.
Draft Hillary now.
Obama is a good hardworking president not a perfect there is and never will be a perfect president. Obama had a mess when he took over he has made mistakes but his weak areas he can work on and his 2nd term. Taxes are too high for middle class and too low for the rich. It doesn't take a college degree to do the math.
Its sad how you all talk down on president Obama.He did more than any president did since he been elected.Its mighty funny how Bush was president the noone gave him a hard time didnt take long just to agree to vote on things.I dont knw why the republicans giving him a heard time Im starting to think race is an issue. if all this hate stop this world will be a better place thanks Obama for thinking bout low and med paying families keep up the good work.We need more like you.
Let's help the President move this country forward. The hurricane and earthquake are wake up calls that we need to improve our infrastructure. It's a shame there is so much bitterness and blaming and not enough cooperation and basic respect. A strong and efficient government translates to a stable economy, sustained growth and a quality of life unequal to anywhere else in the world. We could be most prosperous country in the world and it all starts by working together and putting away poisonous words. Regardless of your persuasion, let's help OUR president.
We take the hurricane seriously, we just don't take your socialist/Marxist presidency seriously.
Socialism seemed okay when George W. Bush was in office...after all he spent $950M U.S. taxpayer's dollars to guarantee (article 31 of the Iraqi constitution) that Iraqi's had single payer universal health care. Read George W. Bush guaranteed Iraqi's health care, but not you...HYPOCRITES!.
You must be one of those hypocritical Teapotty fascist.

Obama has not done anything in his term
You guys are nuts. Must every thread be an opportunity to take cheap shots versus actually talking about the purpose of the article. Utter nonsense...
The mere mention of BO's name makes me sick to my stomach. A third rate leader doing everything he can to make the US a third rate nation.
Must every thread be an opportunity to take cheap shots versus actually talking about the purpose of the article. Utter nonsense...
Instead of blaming a human being like Barack Obama, let's blame God. Muahahaha!
@Ellie not to bright...do you believe every lie Fox spoon feeds you, or just the most outrageous?

President Obama haters it is a shame when parts of the country is going through a disaster that you are calling your President deragotory names it is a disgrace. I just witness Hurricane Irene in NC and this is a storm to be respected.
The President is doing a great job and meeting with his Fema staff is the right thing to do.
Some of you will never like this President because of the color of his skin it is not about his poilicies . He is not the only President to use teleprompters and want be the last. I know some of you wish you had half the education he has so don't imply that he can't read how ridiculous.
I know you are frustrated because you can't get into his head and don't know how he is thinking he is a multi-task person something we all wish we could do. He has a quiet demeanor about him but I can assure you if he is pushed too hard you will see a different man and then what will you say he is an ANGRY BLACK MAN, which will not be true.
Good post Dee
our president is right i love him and the rest of yall racist motherfuckers can get on give him a chance just because he is african-american we down grade him if he was a crappy president he wouldnt have fought to bring our loved ones back from war that BUSH STARTED so please just give him a equal chance
OBAMA on Re-Election Oh.. Er.. Wait a min... I mean Irene... It's the teleprompter's fault!!! Hope for the best, but we have to be prepared for the worst. What NO second term... But... but... I Obama have declared that the planet is healing...
Open ur eyes people god is coming soon n then c what happens! ur opionons wont matter look up he is comin to clean up this worlds messes! then what will u say then!!!!
You go Dee! They had better recognize before it's too late!
I am glad that someone cares for the people and they child not from there but Thank You and God Bless...
@Republicans elect and attract the not so smart; I ditto your comments, every word! Your name also sums the whole conservative/GOP/Teaparty Dog & Pony show up in a thimble-sized nutshell! LOL! Thank you for your comments.
@almostaking; They hadn't made you 'king' yet? You must be a weenie; a small one at that! LITERALLY! BTW, you ARE a big fart! Yes blowing hot, stinky wind! All my life I was a 'princess', because my father was a KING. I later married a 'KING', so I feel compelled to let you know that we resent 'your boy', you disrespectful puke; but if you want to go there, it's obvious there's been several 'boys' out of the WEST playing in and out of the WH! LOL! They're called 'Cowboys'! LOL! BTW, I'm 'alreadyaqueen'!
the people who wasnt hit should be thankful but if you were dont give up keep your head up high because the ones who was not hit anything is possible # preparing for the worst hoping for the best irene#
Thanks Liz the Lord has his hands in all of these disasters and we had better wake up how long has the President said we need to fix our infrastructures? Well look what happened the Lord took control with Irene and now roads and bridges certainly will need repair, this is scary stuff.
I have always said that President Obama came up all of a sudden and everytime someone try to tear him down some major event happens to bring our attention back to this President and reminds us what he has been telling the American People that major improvements are needed for our country. All the GOP is saying is NO< NO< NO< NO<
Americans if you believe in the power of prayer now is the time to pay attention with all the devastation that is happening to our county today. President Obama is a man with a purpose to bring this country into the 21st century with modern technology, lifting up the middle class and education for our young people who are the future leaders of this country. There is no GOP Candidate , GOP representative that is talking about the future of these young people instead they are trying to take away their grants for College.
President Obama keep up the good work this week should be a wakeup call for Americans.

Tone it down people everything is going to be alright and there are going to be jobs because of Hurricane Irene. You will see the economy get a big boost because of repairs to infrastructure and electricity.
God fixed everything for the President before he delivered his economic address he stepped in and gave him some help. We need to take heed and stop all the hatred and name calling, respect each other and try to move this country forward.
Prayer is a powerful thing
Start Praying
Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his
party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread
line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with
me. He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all
the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged
home forever.
Wow! US of A! Wow!
Cry me a river!.....Some folks are out living under bridges and expressways, Pete and have been for a long time. Many are our own 'beloved' veterans...Vietnam Veterans at that!....And I bet you pass them right on by don't you Pete? You don't even stop to ask and offer help do you? WHY?....because you're living in a 'mortgaged house' and are still whinning! Stop mocking the 23 Psalm and be thankful. 'The LORD is my shepherd...I SHALL not want'!

I am a Vet and work with homeless Vets. Again blowing your horn when you don't have the facts
obama is screwing the Military and will the Vet. God forbid that asshole gets reelected
Right now obama will promis anything for votes
Lost my bet! GOOD! My husband, who's also a veteran goes out about twice a month in a van along with a couple of other vets, gathering up as many hungry, homeless veterans as he can to bring them into the hospital to 'STAND DOWN', so their needs can be assessed; clothing, food, housing, medical attention, hair-cuts, baths, encouraging those who WANT it into drug & alcohol treatment programs. I don't anymore, but I worked in the substance abuse program part-time for about 8 years. Oh, I do know the facts!

I work with a Disabled Vietnam Vet who thinks the country hates him. they said he was a baby killer spit on and all that liberal horscrap
alot of these type ofpeople that messed this guy up work with and /or support obama that why obama is a snake
President Obama's doing the best that he can to save the nations' humanitarian programs or to oversee them as being hurt as less as possible, including veteran related programs! Why that's even one of the First Ladys' agendas! I can't remember who it was, but it was a GOP Senator or Representative who complained that VETERANS were a part of the reason why the nation was in this economical fix; complaining that they were sitting at home getting all of that money! OBAMA'S just the President not a dictator!
No Republican would say that thats more Liberal lowlife propaganda
Pete, my husband's a disabled veteran who's a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder patient. He attends PTSD meetings every FRIDAY at the VA hospital. He was also called those names when he got back home from Vietnam. When he went to work at the PO, even some of his own co-workers were afraid of him; called him crazy; baby-killer! Most African American soldiers and marines were treated like lepers when they got back home by their communities, families, employers, if they weren't too afraid to hire them! It is sad!
Yes a REPUBLICAN did say it too! Republicans have always been on board with support for the GI, the troop, and maybe his family; the soldiers, marines, airmen, and seamen who are in active duty. In essence, I mean the ones who're actually fighting, posted up, securing, training, etc., Republicans believe in funding them with any and everything they need! When they get out and come home, they're on their own! 'Pay'em for what'? 'They ain't fightin' no more'! They're no longer GIs; just veterans! It's SAD!
'Liberal lowlife propaganda'. Oh! So I guess you're in essence calling me a 'lowlife'. Well, that's fine too, but don't fool yourself. So that means you conservatives are throwing out 'highlife' propaganda, huh? We know that's all you care about! LOL! As far as your view of my status in the world, talk about blowing a horn and not knowing the facts, don't be to quick to throw that line out at anybody here again...!
Any person can tell u to b prepared for a hurricane. So stop acting like he is amazing just because he said irene will be bad. Any one could tell u that
@thrightthing; had he not said a word, made a comment or offered a 'Presidential' suggestion to take precautions, be prepared for the hurricaine, you and the rest of the 'things' would've been out in force screaming...'Where's the President on this...he hadn't said a word...he doesn't care about the American people'! 'He's so disconnected, inefficient, and selfish..all he cares about is his vacation'! The man's damned if he says anything and damned if he doesn't! That goes for everything he's tried to do!
Now how the hel can the president be blamed for a huricane.he is doing what a leader of america is suposed to do.care for his people.unlike when bush sat with a buncha kids and didnt even flinch when he was told about the trade towers.at least bama is trying.how can u all blame the econemy on boma.it was bad b4 he3 even got in office.kinda hard to clean up after the 2 bushes raped this great country.if yall think you can do better why dont you run for president.The republicans and some democrats are useing boma for a scape goat for sure. keep up the good work mr.president.some of us support you and love you.
Sry for spelling.justa bit pssed off here
Hurricane katrina was worst
I used to think America is the greatest country in the world,for the past three years that Obama has been the president of this country. I now know America better because white man hate the black man because he is black and the whole world see how the congress republicans treat Obama by disrespecting him. If few white people can treat him with racism,how do we feel the rest of the world see us. America belong to the Native Americans, white,black and other color are all immigrant no matter how we see it. If you love God you most love your neighbors no matter the color of his skin. We are all equal.
A lot of comments on here are about. The presidents I have 2 opinions about that take it or leave it....1 president regan was the only good president I can remember I'm only 36 so dnt know abut ike or others except the history books. President B.o if he wanted to bail us out the money for the bail out should have went for shelter cost for all americans for a year that wuld have been helpful for all all of us have plenty other bills to pay heating and cooling are homes and feeding are families!!!! My husband and I work our butts off take care of my family despite my disability! We (was) also middle class before all this happened..so another few things about the economy help those on social security (the elders) who need help disabled wh can't work any longer who worked 40 to 60 hrs a
To finish my statement those of us who worked 40-60hrs a week paying our house and fed,state,city,medcare taxes and still do!!!! about KATRINA
DAMN touch screen keeps cutting me off sorry about KATRINA my heart goes ut t all involved very sad and still not prperly taken care of was treated worse than a third world country I'm ashamed of that....someone needs to give us better canidates to vote for all together no matter what political party they are send email,letters,text,phone calls to congress pick it signs till they give us real canidates!!! Now the real subject don't let the next disaster be a katrina, ike or anything like that again whether its irene or anything else take care of ourselves and each other we are americans on american soil act like it!! And GOD BLESS our soldiers GOD BLESS all of you And GOOD LUCK we need it together we can get through it with being prepared and helping each other whenever we can sometimes a little help goes a long way when in NEED
Very nice post and right to the point. I don’t know if this is truly the best place to ask but do you folks have any ideea where to hire some professional writers? Thanks 🙂
In Hawaii I volunteered with FEMA and they know their jobs. Thank you for taking leadership.for the American people, I pray they.have heeded your advice.in a timely manner
I agree with you all James Ekhator, jaime, and bjenson. Thank you for your truthful comments to the masses. Whether they are accepted or denounced is still questionable, especially from the RIGHT.
Yo truthman I got your back. People have no idea that the government does not care about its people and only serves the corporations that put them in power. Also if it has anything to do with fema don't trust it
@denise, you go girl! TRUTH BE TOLD, that's it in a nutshell!
