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.

LOL.......The Apologists . . Part 10,000
Spewing up a big load of Fritos and bean dip!!!!!
Norah is an ass-kissing RAT idiot. She recently praised Dan Rather as one of the greatest reporters of all time. Base your judgement on that.
You beat me to it!! I was going to make the same observation.
“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.
yep.
He only came back because his poll numbers were tanking.
She’s the biggest kneepadder there is in DC next to Chris Matthews.
War is peace Freedom is slavery Ignorance is strength Texas jobs mean nothing Obama is great The economy is strong The media is going to go full Orwell to try to get Obama re-elected. That hated Tea Party is wrecking the plan to give everyone a slice of socialist pie -- free healthcare and a Lexus -- for doing absolutely nothing. |
I don’t think he cares about his poll numbers. They have been tanking all summer and yet that hasn’t stopped him from doing the things he likes to do which is wreck this country and golf.
Has any man ever given so much of himself? This man is awesome. He doesn't just talk about shared sacrifice, he lives it. [/s]
Then he came back because he was **** scared on the Island.
We know he didn’t come back because he “cared” about hurricane victims.
Or maybe he came back early because the weather would have prevented his return on the date scheduled!!!
He'd be stuck indoors up there with Michelle angrily clumping around the house and no place to get away due to flooded fairways.
Sometmes it sucks to be president.

Someone should explain to Nora that one need not stand on a corner to prostitute themselves. One can do it just as easily for a mainstream media outlet. It’s just that the money is much better.
Then again, I guess she already figured that out.
Commie Norah has been brain dead for years.
It figures Rickie Kaplan of CNN and Bill Clinton Monica propaganda campaign would hire this Palin hating troll.
Gross.
