Instead of saying "WE" are ready I kept hearing the usual from Obama. Obama was able to tell everyone how much Obama is ready for the storm.
Black people are at risk so Obama is on the job, and he's gonna make sure that everyone knows that he's ready.
Using phrases like "I have directed....." Obama wants to remain the focus during the RNC and he will do everything he can to interrupt the Republican event and for the first time in his presidency, start acting like a leader.
It's all a show of course, because at this point there is no emergency.
Who knows what he'll do if there is massive flooding.
I guess do what Bush did, allow FEMA to do their job, but this time he won't have a media bent on trying to blame him for everything that happens. And this time he won't have an uncooperative Democrat Governor standing in his way.
Obama meanwhile is going on a campaign event later today. To him this hurricane isn't important enough to change his plans one bit.
I remember when Bush was accused of not caring enough for black people.
Do you?
BTW, Ellen Barkin made her feelings well known. Ellen Barkin Hopes The Hurricane Kills 'Every Pro-Life, Xenophobic, Gay-Bashing SOB' At The RNC
