Obama to address storm before starting trip www.wral.com/news/story/11476751/I sure hope he is better at being a weatherman then he has been as an elected official. If not, the people are once again doomed. The White House is aiming to balance leadership on the storm with the president's campaign plans. Funny, thought local leadership already had plans in place and all that needs doing is to just follow them.

They'll probably fly him down there & stage a photo of him carrying a child to safety. His tribute to Armstrong included a pic of him gazing @ the Moon, instead of a pic of Armstrong.

meanwhile, Gov Bobby Jindal who never misses an opportunity to complain about federal spending is whining about not getting reimbursed by the feds for disaster expenses made by the state. "WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Louisiana on Monday as that state and others along the Gulf Coast prepared for Tropical Storm Isaac. The White House said Obama informed Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal of the emergency declaration in a phone call. The declaration makes federal support available to save lives, protect public health and safety and preserve property in coastal areas. Jindal, a Republican, shot back late Monday in a letter to the Obama administration that the declaration fell short of the help he was requesting. "We appreciate your response to our request and your approval," Jindal wrote. "However, the state's original request for federal assistance .... included a request for reimbursement for all emergency protective measures. The federal declaration of emergency only provides for direct federal assistance."
Sorry Bobby, you can't have it both ways, but nice try.

Obama to address storm before starting trip Before the storm? Wow! That's way faster than when he did a flyover after our town had been underwater for a week.

Oh yeah, you live in a red welfare state- a state that takes more money and resources than you provide to society. Gotta love that sense of entitlement!

Gotta love that sense of entitlement! ~chuckle~ Kind of foolish making such a statement, and if you were not a regular here I might even mistake your statement as for being how you see it. But, since you are a long time member I know you know she believes taxes are needed. And she has never had any trouble paying her fair share. The trouble starts when "fair share" turns into support of the welfare cheats.

After all, living in a low lying area which get hit by storms every few years should know and plan for such acts of nature. Much like the building codes in earth quake areas take earth quakes into account when being built. This storm is nothing new. And the state (not the Federal government) should have plans in place, charge taxes to take into account for the rebuilding which needs doing and not count on the Federal Government for rebuilding.

I guess looking thoughtful without action might work.

Oh yeah, you live in a red welfare state- a state that takes more money and resources than you provide to society. Gotta love that sense of entitlement! Making sport of the misfortune for political purposes takes a special lack of compassion and character. And this is the kind of person who thinks *I* should be more compassionate. Wow. If you've noticed, Nashville rebuilt itself better than before and we are not too proud to see the good that came out of the devastation. Oh, and those displaced by Katrina who now make their homes among us saw how a diverse city gets back on its feet all by itself by working together.
