| President Obama has been a busy bee the last two days, spending a huge swath of time with the press and in front of the cameras. Aside from using the White House website as his personal PR firm – putting out pictures of himself with the folks at FEMA and the Red Cross and in the White House situation room, and giving updates stating that he had “expressed his concern” and been informed “throughout the night” – Obama desperately wanted to visit New York City to let the photographers capture him overseeing the damage. He wanted his hero moment.

He will get his moment with Christie. Fortunately for Christie I don't think Romney is a vengeful guy. The rest of us are probably not so forgiving.

Maybe they'll want to find out how that's working in New Jersey.

I did see a report of Romney in work clothes, doing some heavy lifting of food and supplies for the storm victims, while avoiding the verbal dirtballs thrown by the press. The vid I saw of 'o' showed him in a suit and tie,
making promises that others would fulfill, with or without him, while trying to look concerned and presidential for the cameras.

Some whining lib poster below the article whines that Romney allegedly wants to privatize FEMA.
Great idea. Most disaster response could be supervised by the Red Cross.
The other FEMA functions could go back to the Agencies where they came from before FEMA.

I don't think good presidential performance after a disaster can help, but poor performance can definitely hurt. I think the media whacked GWBush on Katrina, but his performance could have been stronger, or appear to be stronger. He was never strong on PR. But Katrina hurt him, no question. Zippy can run around trying to appear presidential and it will not help him. Governors and mayors handle disasters, and Zippy really needs to keep the money, paperwork and the waivers coming, and stay out of it. But he won't, or should I say, Valerie won't let him stay out of it.

Neither Bloomberg nor Obama are going to come out looking good in this. There are going to be a lot on NYers with no power after this weekend, and they ain't going to be happy. By Sunday the excuses will start, but noone's going to want to hear them. This is not a national emergency, and Obama trying to act as the fixer is going to hurt him.

Just to cover a sore point. Just because you own a home at the beach, it doesn't mean that you own the beach. Beach front properties have NO control of the beach, yes they are required to replenish the dunes when Nor'Easters wipe them out, but the general public still has access. That said, I agree with #2, the Empty Chair is not fooling anyone.

I heard that Obama was planning to visit NYC and stand on a pile of rubble. When someone (a campaign worker) in the audience calls out, we can't hear you, someone (David Axelrod, maybe) will hand him a bullhorn and O will, say, "the world is going to hear us soon, when we clean up this mess and give you all free health care! And by the way, vote for me!"

Unlike little obie, President Bush didn't need 50 sycophants, a motorcade of 10 vehicles and a fauning kneepad media ready to cover his every gaseous emission as though it smelled like roses. With sewage backing up, the people of NYC are dealing with enough turds floating in their water. Little obie can just stay away!!

Truthfully, the lat thing you need when you are trying to recover from a a major disaster is to have the president come to sight see, even a fly-over. It doesn't matter if the president is a D or R. When Bush visited the Mississippi gulf coast, all of the airspace was closed, except for Coast Guard helicopters and most of the relief workers had to stop and leave the areas he toured. The best thing any president can do is to meet with the governor and state emergency management director and work with them to make sure they can get what they need to do their jobs.

A three-minute video of Sarah Merkle’s testimony about Maryland’s new gun legislation has drawn more than 2 million views on YouTube, won her praise from gun rights advocates across the country and even scored her an interview on national television last week. But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

A growing number of senators are trying to quash gun legislation before it even hits the chamber floor as Democrats hold out hope for a compromise and the White House gears up for a weeklong offensive to pressure Congress to act. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

In interviews on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week,”Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, pointed out that 90 percent of Americans support President Obama’s plan to expand background checks on citizens who purchase guns, and he pressured Republicans to get on board with what he said where “common-sense measures.” “You can’t get 90 percent of Americans to agree on the weather,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Pfeiffer warned that a potential Republican filibuster

President Obama won rare foreign policy praise from Republicans for his administration’s handling of the North Korea crisis, as China signaled a possible readiness to play a more active role in pressuring Pyongyang away from provoking a military conflict. Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen.

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

On the matter of the president and Kamala Harris, I could go either way. I could write a column — call it Classic Feminist High Dudgeon — lamenting the president’s comments about the California attorney general’s good looks. This column would discuss the continuing, albeit more subtle, discrimination against women in the workplace. It would explain how, even if unintentionally, Obama’s reference to Harris’s attractiveness is demeaning — that it serves, in the apologetic words of White House press secretary Jay Carney, “to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments and her capabilities.” It would, inevitably, invoke the president’s daughters

He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
