I was hoping he would ride it out and just take his chances. What’s the worst that would happen?

Poor Barry. Mother Nature can be so cruel. (((YAWN))). If Barry gets a staff and heads down to the beach to shout up to heaven, I think I’ll puke. The state run “media” would love it though. Great photo op.

Like Mark said on Rush today: “It’s not that he went on vacation that’s the problem, it’s that he’s coming back”.

Even Obama doesn’t want to golf in 70 mph headwinds.

0bama is showing us “shared sacrifice” and he has one more exuse for the bad economy. This is a two for one P.R. stunt.

Blah blah blah-— the WH has a bunker whereas Bam is more exposed to the windy elements on Martha’s. Irene might as well be named Sarah.
