CBS White House correspondent Norah O'Donnell said President Obama displayed his engagement to the federal government's response to Hurricane Irene by returning a day early from vacation and meeting with the head of FEMA. O'Donnell says the administration wanted to make sure no comparison to the government's handling of Katrina was made.
"I think it's important to note too that the Obama administration was really determined to avoid any comparisons to the failed federal government response to Hurricane Katrina. So, President Obama made a very public display of his engagement on this issue. He returned from his vacation a day early. Yesterday, he went to the headquarters of FEMA where he talked not only with the head of FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security, but also all the Governors and state and local officials. So, that was key certainly for this President," O'Donnell reported.

Translation:
The wookie was giving the mullah such a ration of grief during the vacay, and he was hitting the golf ball so poorly, that he fled Maatha’s vineyards to the safety of FEMA and welcoming bosom of fellow communist Janet Napolitanoman.
LMAO he left a day earlier from the place the storm was supposed to hit like thousands of others did.
They weren’t golfing on the Vinyard today.
Pres. Bush talked to the Gov. of Louisiana, for all the good it did. She was too stupid to listen or to accept help for her citizens. Obozo is lucky most of the affected governors are competent, capable Republicans rather than moronic, government-dependant dems.
The Governor was stupid but she was pulling a Governor Lawton Childs/ Democrat, Florida, as in Hurricane Andrew... to get the media to campaign against President GHWBush. And it worked out just like it did the first time it was done.
That and he couldn't stand another day with Moochell.
LOL!!!!
Because Bush never returned from vacation to deal with Katrina and he never talked to any of the governors of the effected states nor did he talk to FEMA. Isn’t that right, Ms O’Donnell?
Like Michael Medved said, “The problem isn’t that Obama goes on vacation - - the problem is that he comes back from vacation.”
Slut with a microphone. She has more STDs than a water fountain in the Castro District of San Fransicko...
We're doing pretty good given we have no TV outlet.
Norah O’Donnell is one frakin’ idiot Kool-Aid drinking AnointedIdiot apologist. =.=
I think any politician with the poll ratings that Barry has would have done the same thing.
And now we hear Biden was golfing just before Irene hit?
LOL
I think it’s a safe bet that the cable news channels are breathing a sigh of relief that it hit this weekend when most were home and they could get the viewers. Had it hit next weekend, the cable news channels would have been out of luck.
The name plates say it all. When was the last time you were in a conference meeting, and everyone had name plates in front of them?
And so it begins...
