Has God not handed Obama his greatest opportunity?

First hurricane Issac disrupted the Republican convention and stole much of the attention away from the Republicans

Second Issac is attacking New Orleans exactly 7 years to the day after Katrina. We all know what Republican president George Bush did not do.

As commander and chief of the greatest organization in the world with the ability to help and protect americans What do you expect Obama to do?

    I was pleased that Obama announced that people in the disaster order should do what the authorities tell them, INCLUDING WHEN THEY ARE TOLD TO EVACUATE.

    This should be common sense, but 7 years ago a lot of people in New Orleans did not do this. Many were just waiting for somebody to offer them a ride. Others just didn't want to leave their homes.

    George Bush authorized federal disaster aid BEFORE the hurricane even landed. But the Federal Government cannot force this aid on the States without permission, and that was a good deal of what held up the aid. Poor management at City and State levels. The Federal trucks were just waiting to be allowed to help.

    Is this a great opportunity for Obama? It doesn't seem so. I doubt he will do any better with this than he has done with other national issues since he took office.
