Why HOW DARE the socialist, negro, muslim, ignore the needs of his country and do
this!WASHINGTON – President Obama and the first family are cutting their vacation short, leaving Martha’s Vineyard today as the East Coast prepares for a major hurricane that is scheduled to begin hitting the North Carolina coast tomorrow.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that Obama would leave tonight, ahead of his previously scheduled departure tomorrow. Aides later announced that first lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s two daughters, Malia and Sasha, would join him.
They were not scheduled to arrive back at the White House until very late in the evening, extending their planned nine-day break as much as possible.
The announcement came after Obama warned Americans to take the hurricane warnings seriously and make the proper preparations.
And, really? How can he ignore our country's needs in this
time of disaster? Remember Katrina?
Underscoring the government’s own preparations, Mr. Obama said he had ordered an aircraft carrier group out to sea to avoid the storm. Before his remarks, the president for a second day had convened a conference call of senior administration officials about Irene’s progress and the status of federal relief efforts. The call included his chief of staff, William M. Daley; Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland security; and W. Craig Fugate, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which since last weekend has been setting up outposts in coastal communities stocked with water, meals, cots, blankets and other supplies for those displaced.
Mr. Obama said he also had called mayors and governors of coastal states to reinforce the message that the federal government is standing by to help with preparations, evacuations and any damage in the storm’s aftermath. For residents, he recommended two government Web sites for advice: Ready.gov or Listo.gov.
Sheesh!
