DC Area Out of Power, Obama on Vacation?

~ The Rebel ~ 2012/07/04 01:35:48
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. Twenty-two people have died, and residents around Washington, DC are struggling to navigate roads whose signals have not worked for days.

    It is a power outage, not a national emergency. Should he make a statement when a skier kills them self on a mountain?

    Here's another puzzler for you. It took him a couple of weeks to declare the Gulf Coast a Disaster area after the oil spill and longer than that before he visited. Yet Colorado's fire was declared almost immediately and he visited three days into the situation. He doesn't need or count on votes from the deep South. But Obama NEEDS Colorado's votes.

    I know for a fact that the Secret Service forbids President Obama from climbing up a power pole to attach a high voltage line. They insisted that wasn't an action suitable for a President and they couldn't begin to guarantee his safety. So, Rebel, another of your unwarranted attacks on the President has been sidelined by persons with sanity and sense
    to understand what the job of the President is and is not. Fixing storm damage or directing traffic in an intersection near the White House are just not things the President is allowed to do by his Secret Service protection team.

    Do you have anything of importance to the problems we face as a nation to discuss? How about thinking of some way to get the House of Representatives to return to their constitutional duties? How about finding a way to get freeloaders on the medical care system to pay for the services? Give us some help, please.

    Why should he care? At least while on vacation, he and his congressional commie cohorts aren't screwing us over.

    If Obama is in Camp David - isn't that near DC (Catoctin Mtn Park, right?)? Is that part of the country being effected by power outages?

    Yep he's living in the lap of luxury while so many people in that area are suffering. That gives me great comfort. What a wonderful man he is.

    No I'm on the RIGHT side of governing. The side where the person in charge loves all of the people.
    Conservatives are right
