Hurricane Threats: Is YOUR FEMA Ready, Mr. President?
By John W. Lillpop
Mainstream, leftist media went to extraordinary lengths to vilify and persecute George W. Bush for the administration's response to Katrina.
Ever ready to find racism in everything, the media even stooped so low as to suggest that W. acted slowly and without conviction because only poor black people were floating about aimlessly in the waters of New Orleans.
However, W. is now enjoying retirement in Dallas and we have a new president who is responsible for dealing with major nation tragedies.
Obama's crisis-management skills may be tested in the very near future.
As reported, in part, at Reuters:
"MIAMI (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Claudette, the third of the Atlantic hurricane season, formed on Sunday in the Gulf of Mexico east of the heaviest concentration of U.S. energy platforms, as two other storms, Ana and Bill, raced across the Atlantic.
"The six-month season got off to a slow start with no storms in the first 2-1/2 months but exploded this weekend as three tropical storms formed in just over a day.
"The new system was expected to move ashore in the Florida panhandle, although at least one computer model showed it tracking farther west and hitting land near Mobile, Alabama. The greatest number of offshore oil and gas rigs span the coast from the mouth of Mobile Bay to Texas."
Is YOUR FEMA ready, Mr. President?
