UPDATE: Bumped to the top. I wrote below: The media is just dying to rehabilitate Obama, and they'll move heaven and earth to help him out. A natural disaster provides just the opportunity they're looking for, and don't think that the Obama White House hasn't been planning numerous photo-ops for the President where he can look, well, Presidential.
What did I tell you?

Pardon my language. I just want to get on the record two predictions.
1. Hurricane Irene will peter out and not cause much damage. The MSM always hypes weather, and particularly in August when there's not much real news.
2. If Hurricane Irene does not peter out and actually causes destruction on the East Coast, this will be a huge story that will be highlighted by frequent comparisons of Obama's wonderful management of the crisis (no matter what he does or fails to do) and GWB's criminal mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans (no matter the facts of what he did or didn't do). The media is just dying to rehabilitate Obama, and they'll move heaven and earth to help him out. A natural disaster provides just the opportunity they're looking for, and don't think that the Obama White House hasn't been planning numerous photo-ops for the President where he can look, well, Presidential.
Oh, and if it goes bad, particularly if New York City gets hit badly, you can bet that the media will suddenly rediscover that Michael Bloomberg, the NYC Mayor, is a Republican (albeit a liberal RINO). It will be all his fault, and not the fault of the Democratic union-dominated entrenched incompetent bureaucracy in New York City government.
