The only thing that is "surprising" to me about all of the praise that President Obama is getting

for his efforts to help coordinate the federal emergency response to Hurricane Sandy is that there are people like Chris Christie and various members of the MSM whom are surprised that we actually have an intelligent and competent person in charge of the country right now- despite all of their efforts to paint him as a failure, screw-up, or simply not being good enough for the job.

Obama would come through for the affected states. I am surprised though that the Pubs aren't taking marching orders from KKKarl Rove and coordinating attacks on how he's screwed it up.

They'll scream that in a week things will still not be fixed, and it will be all President Obama's fault. Enjoy it while they back off for a nanosecond.

Of course, to have such a low bar to clear didn't hurt.

Can you even begin to imagine how embarrassing that had to have been for Repugs? George sure put on a show for everyone, didn't he?

Obama makes me proud to be a Democrat.
