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.

Norah bows her knee to the little tin god Hussein.
He had to return. It would have looked bad if he didn’t. Why give him credit for something he had to do.

LOL Every citizen that could have been affected by that storm knows he left because:
1. He was scared out of his britches he might get hit if he stayed in his vacation spot and
2. The photo op at Fema Hdqt. and the chance to get more face time on tv were simply irresistable to th narcissist in chief.
Returning from vacation by eight houre big deal.
Yep, that’s exactly what I predicted. The MSM hyped the coverage so that they could try to put Obama in a favorable light, compared to what they tagged Pres. Bush with, after Katrina.
