In the sense that I am pretty sure he isn't accustomed to hearing the word "no", it was great, for sure. So I definitely agree with you in that point. Obama is sure looking haggard these days too, isn't he? I wonder how close to the breaking point he really is. I surely don't want to see New Orleans get destroyed again, but if it were to happen, I bet there would be NO ONE in the media point a single finger at the "O". And the way the mayor and the Jefferson Parrish President were talking this morning, I am not at all sure they have taken anywhere near adequate measures to fortify their city. They spoke of "millions and millions" of dollars being spent to help correct problems they had with Katrina .. but the levies and the pumps would have all been federal dollars unless I'm mistaken .. so New Orleans and Louisiana appear to have actually done very little. Their answer now is just for people to leave .. or buckle everything down, stock up, and stay ... no shelters within the city, "probably" no emergency services for a while. They're headed for another disaster .... and another flooding of scores of idle school buses.

Obama Calls Money Shortage 'Critical' Aug 26, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER weeklystandard.com In a fundraising email to perspective donors, President Obama says, "This is critical." Obama explains that he is being outspent in states likes Iowa by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Here's the entire email: Daniel -- When I'm out there talking to voters, we talk about what we've done, what we plan to do over the next four years, and why the other guys have dangerous plans to go back to the policies that failed America for almost a decade. But there is another question that keeps coming up, and you need to know about it: "Why do I see so many more ads for the other guys?" You don't need me to tell you that the Romney campaign is outraising us -- that billionaire ideologues and corporate interests are piling on tens of millions more in negative ads trashing us, and that all of it means that undecided voters in battleground states like Iowa could be seeing false, misleading, negative attacks at a rate almost twice as often as they hear from us. Last week, when I was in Iowa, voters told me they were feeling it. The numbers back it up: Our side is getting outspent 2-to-1 on the air there. But the folks asking me about this don't want an explanation -- they want to know what I'm going to do about it. And the fact is that solving this problem is up to you. Close the gap on the air by making a donation of $5 or more now. You're getting this email because you know what the stakes are in this election. You know the facts about what we've done to prevent a deeper crisis and to start building an economy that works for the middle class. But for someone who's not as engaged, these ads may be an important and possibly even primary source of information about the choice in this election. So it's a bad situation if 90 percent of them are false, negative attacks on us.
