clo,

re: "All of the politicians involved took Irene seriously."

You know the story of the little boy who cried wolf?

When the wolf finally came (and its name wasn't "Irene," by the way), the little boy's cries were ignored.

Politicians who make too big of a deal out of things are not doing anyone a favor. When a HUGE storm comes along and people get the same kind of hype they got with Irene, they'll take the warnings less seriously.

And come on, clo. I mean, really. Did YOU need a politician to tell you to stay the hell off the beach during this storm? The last thing we as a country need is politicians who take on even more than their already ridiculous responsibilities.

GOVERNMENT IS NOT MY MOTHER. YOURS EITHER.

Decomp,

All of the politicians involved took Irene seriously.
They worked in harmony & put out the same message, get OUT of areas in danger.

Chris Christie told them to get the hell off the beach. He doesn't mince words.
Over a million left the Jersey shore, this surely saved many from injuries & or death.

Obama ordered "state of emergency" to some states prior to Irene striking, helped.
FEMA proved to be "new & very much improved" since Katrina.

And unlike GWB, Obama returned from vacation Before the hurricane, and was involved. He didn't do a fly over as he was returning from vacation.
Much better optics, and we knew he was on top of things.
GWB was out of touch, mentally, during Katerina. He thought CNN was hyping the situation... clo
