President Obama has received regular briefings about Hurricane Irene's impact. During the wet and windy weekend in Washington, senior advisors and cabinet officials have updated the president on the response and recovery effort taking place along the East Coast of the United States and in U.S. territories.

Sunday morning, Obama convened a video teleconference in the White House Situation Room and plans to reconvene with his team managing the federal government's response Sunday night.

Save us Barry! Save us! I heard he’s going on TV tonight to let us know that all is well and that he has everything, except jobs and the economy, under control.

Just heard on the news that the Useless One will speak to the nation (again) at 5:00. Guess he figures we haven’t been through enough.

Listen for the word “infrastructure”. It’s the new talking point I’m sure.

Time to fold some socks.

FEMA is the evil empire.

“Boys, take that hurricane relief money and use it to grease a few palms.”

Hurricane Irene battered New York with heavy winds and driving rain on Sunday, knocking out power and flooding some of Lower Manhattan's deserted streets even as it lost some of its strength. Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm on Sunday morning but was still sending waves crashing onto shorelines and flooding coastal suburbs.

Slow learners ...

Time to turn off the tv so I don’t break it.

Darn. I’m scheduled to get lint out the dryer then ... or I’d sit and listen to him for sure.

A metaphor for Irene in pictures. Cam close but dodged big damage:

That $20 billion he extorted out of BP is burning a hole in Barry’s pocket. He’s got union dues to pay.

Don’t be too hard on old Barack Hussein. Remember he has to go on tv and do his best Mr Obvious routine because his supporters are so stupid. (How stupid are they?) They are so stupid they have to be told step by step what to do when the big rainstorms come. Its all because the white man has never had any gubmint sponsored classes to teach the welfare recipients how to take care of themselves. It’s Racist I tell you Racist.

[mardi59]

I’m glad you dodged big damage. We certainly don’t need the useless one to tell us what it is. He is going to do some crony backscratching.

Those photos are amazing.

Don’t be too hard on old Barack Hussein./

I won’t be too hard on him. Instead of throwing-up while he’s talking I’ll just go clean my toilet bowl. lol

15 years of supervised day care uhh.. public shkools...uh indoctrination will do that to ya!

They have the dependent slave mentality forced upon them 24/7 from cradle to grave. Most of us wouldn't stand a chance against that kind of immersion programing.

Should make a new drinking game for every time he says “new investments”

[hsalaw]

Odumbo should thank the governors (mostly Republican) who got their citizens out of the danger areas and kept things calm. Think we’ll hear a word of praise from him for that?
