 Obama chills while East Coast sweltersPosted by Jake88 With much of the East Coast still struggling to recover from recent storms that cut power to millions of residents during a heat wave, President Barack Obama is wrapping up a comfortable vacation in Camp David. He was not too busy to visit the scene of wildfires in swing-state Colorado--and make some fundraising calls from Air Force One en route--but he somehow could not muster the strength to address the state of emergency closer to home.  on 7/3 at 9:34 pmTwenty-two people have died, and residents around Washington, DC are struggling to navigate roads whose signals have not worked for days. If not for the July 4th week, the disruption would have been even worse. But President Obama has left the messy job of handling the emergency to state and local officials. Damage that has been described as "worse than some hurricanes" has not moved Obama to interrupt his air-conditioned holiday. This dereliction of duty is not happening in distant New Orleans, but right in the heart of the nation's media and political center. Yet the mainstream media has not bothered to comment on Obama's absence. As for the Obama campaign itself, it hawked t-shirts to "keep cool" while the Romney campaign actually took the disaster seriously, organizing a drive for donations of basic necessities to stranded residents, such as canned food and water.

| Pretty predictable imo. Obama's got the 3 electoral votes from D.C, no need to spend any time there. Reply • Back to Top |

| Where do you people find this crap? And by "you people", I mean people who post articles from sources like "Before it's news". It's like posting something from the Bleacher Report on the rant. Reply • Back to Top |

It takes some time, but it's not as bad as people are makin git out to be. Bunch of whiners. quote: uh, DC is distant to some of us.  quote: All 22 related to the storm? Or the power outage? quote: Well, that helps. Four days without power and already people are acting like it's the end of the world. By the time the canned food and water get to the people, power will be restored. This is one of the biggest slam pieces I've read in a while. That's saying a lot. Reply • Back to Top |
