Anderson Cooper is talking to Obama on CNN re. hurricane

[AkFemDem]

Obama sounding very Presidential, raising wetlands legislation and concerns over how slow Bush admin has been to rebuild NOLA.

1. I've seen the pics of Obama on the phone with Michael Chertoff.

Obama looks so presidential. I am confident the country will be in good hands under his leadership.

2. Did not want to go down because it would interfere with the people trying to save lives

not the time for a photo OP

[liberalmuse]

4. I loved that he said, 'Photo-Op' this time.

Ha ha ha ha ha! :toast:

10. I was wishing that he would have said that McAss voted against Katrina funding...

that would have been the icing on the cake.

12. There where be plenty of time for that. Most likely during the debates /nt

[still_one]

11. Difference is he was being honest /nt

[AkFemDem]

3. Asked about McCain visiting the area, why not Obama

Obama points out when he went to the Iowa flood area he learned his secret service requirements have become so big they take too many local law enforcement resources that can be used to help people. In other words, he is unselfish and doesn't want to use up valuable resources just for political reasons.

9. It really pisses me off when they say

McAss said this; McAss said that....what a piece of shit McAss is....especially when it's all bullshit.

5. Obama took note of the fact that his MONTHLY budget is more than Wasillas yearly budget.

[Thrill]

6. LMAO Obama said when she was mayor she had 50 employess. And they have 2500 on the campaign. LMAO

7. Dayum! Was that the President talking to Anderson?

Sure seem like it should be.

I'd feel safe with that President at the helm!

[Maven]

8. He did great.

Anderson asked why he didn't go to the scene of flooding immediately. Obama said he didn't go directly there b/c the Secret Service has to coordinate with local law enforcement and he didn't want to take resources away from people who need them just for a photo op.

13. Obama again did the right thing

So where is McCain? I thought he busy abbreviating the RNC so he could take charge down in NOLA, but I haven't seen a word from him. Not even a photo. Have seen Bush, now have seen Obama.

But not the man who postponed the RNC purportedly because he wanted to be compassionately on the scene to help. Now that is wierd too.
