Irene: the unserious crisis that Obama didn’t let go to waste

Thankfully, 0bama used his powers and reduced Irene to a Cat 1 prior to landfall...

Without his actions, it would have been a Cat 5 or higher...

I thoughtit was the black hole in your ass that sucked up the energy and reduced the cat?
 
I found it quite interesting that we were getting weather updates from the president. Why would the Commander-in-Chief man the 24-hour weather channel to tell the American people that hurricane Irene could be an historic hurricane? Could it have anything to do with his abysmal approval rating and the fact that his administration’s philosophy is, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.” (see 8sec.video)

The fact is Politicians and the Media hyped hurricane Irene for political expediency. Toby Harnden outlines the strange relationship between press and politicians in his article, “Perfect Storm of Hype: Politicians, the media and the Hurricane Irene apocalypse that never was.” (see article) Read more...

And if for some reason, Irene had picked up to a Category 3 and hit New York or any other major metropolitan areas with a much bigger impact killing two or three thousand people, then you would be the first on here asking what Obama was doing and why he didn't have us better prepared. The shit some of you come up with trying to score points is just fucking unbelievable.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to auditor0007 again

What do you need Gubmint for? You got homeowners insurance

If you need a bridge or water system replaced you can always call the Red Cross

The east coast gets more than that with their yearly Global Warming SNOW--than the rain produced from Irene.

American politicians have a gift for over learning the lessons of the immediate past, and the response to Hurricane Irene is a prime example.

Compared to the other major natural disasters of the year – the rash of cyclones that killed hundreds across the Southeast in April or the mile-wide tornado that killed 160 people in Joplin, Mo. on May 22 –Irene was a dud.

But the storm had all the makings of a catastrophe: large, slow-moving and pointed at the heart of the nation’s largest city. It was not hard to imagine that the low-lying central part of Manhattan would be swamped like New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina. Not only would there have been scores of lives lost, but the beating heart of America’s financial industry would have been stifled.

In the end, though, the storm was nothing like Katrina and the small number of dead and isolated property damage will be lamented now, but soon swept from the front pages. It takes a lot to hold the nation’s disaster fascination: ask the still-struggling folks in Alabama and Joplin.

But before Irene fizzled, the Obama White House wanted to make sure that Irene was no Katrina and that, in fact, the president and his aides would be seen in compassionate command of the situation.....

And if we cut taxes further, the rich people will create jobs rebuilding the power lines to the poor people's houses and food will rain from the sky- those stupid working-class people should've been rich enough to call and order a year's supply of food to store in their bomb shelter along with their guns and ammo. I mean, Jeryy Doyle advertizes this stuff every day on his show!
