Obama “Takes Charge” at Hurricane HQ

Barack the Magic Negro to the rescue.

Obama warned the US east coast was in for a “long 72 hours” as he led his government’s response to Hurricane Irene at a disaster command center in Washington.

Obama on Saturday chaired a meeting at the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) set up at the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) headquarters in Washington, which is marshaling federal and local hurricane-relief efforts.

“This is going to be a tough slog getting through this thing,” Obama said during a video teleconference including senior federal officials and local government agencies in the east coast path of Irene.

“It’s going to be a long 72 hours. Obviously a lot of families are going to be affected … the biggest concern I’m having right now has to do with flooding and power,” Obama said during the videoconference.

“(It) sounds like that’s going to be an enormous strain on a lot of states” that could last days, or even longer in some cases, he said.

Why, thank you for your input, Captain Obvious.

Saturday evening Obama convened a conference call with members of his senior emergency response team including Vice President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, among others.

Janet took note and added Irene to the domestic threat assessment.

If Obama runs the emergency as well as he does everything else, it will look like this:

I feel so much safer.
