Title: Obama is getting his ass kicked by "generic" Republican

A generic Republican candidate earns the highest level of support to date against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up for the week ending Sunday, September 4.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds the generic Republican earning 49% support, while the president picks up 41% of the vote.


Who is this Mr. Generic and how can we get him to start campaigning?

Prediction:

Race riots and general chaos will cause the imposition of Martial Law before the '12 elections.

The elections will be canceled. You heard it here, first.

The President has no authority whatsoever to declare Martial Law or to take charge of the National Guard for domestic purposes. Only governors can do this.

The President has no authority whatsoever to cancel or even postpone an election.

If the Marxists in the Obama Administration even think about doing something like this, it will destroy the Democrat Party for more than a generation.

Actually, he does have that ability, JW.

He declares 'an insurrection'.

Bush came 'this close' to doing so when Kathleen Blanco froze up like a deer caught in the headlights in the wake of Katrina. He writes about it in his book, Doug Brinkley (hardly a Bush/Republican supporter) noted the same in his book 'The Great Deluge'. Hell, even Ray Nagin said as much, including he thought Blanco's inability to make ANY decision led to countless deaths...course that was Ray Nagin talkin lol

Most of the Katrina Deaths occurred because of what Dumb Dumb claimed no-one ever considered...the levees being breached...levees that saw their federal maintenance funding cut in 2003 and 2004.

Wrong again, dumbass. No one did talk about the levees being breached. What they talked about was the levees being overtopped.

Riiight....a HUGE difference to someone being drowned...

Anyway, Dumb Dumb was briefed the day before Katrina made landfall that the levees could be breeched or overtopped. It's not a debateable point any more.

Except to felchers like you...

On Aug. 27, two days before the storm made landfall, FEMA had prepared a slide presentation for White House officials. The FEMA slides said a Category 4 storm surge "could greatly overtop levees and protective systems."

That's the warning that was given. And even if he was briefed about breechings, what are you supposed to do about it 2 days before landfall? Have the entire levy system rebuilt in 2 days as a hurricane is approaching. You post the most ridiculous things.

The State of Emergency was ordered three days before...it was a pretty sure bet NOLA was going to be hit before that.

Your apology for Dumb Dumb's incompetence, though, has lingered for years...

here's a clue: Bloomberg, a smart guy, had a plan for a Cat 3 Hurricane in place for NY long before Irene even formed.

Here's a clue for you. Funny you mention a local official, and not Obama.

Yet you want to blame the POTUS and not local officials for Katrina. The truth about the matter is well documented.

And BTW, FEMA isn't some agency with massive response capabilities involving earth moving equipment and airlift capabilities. There a couple of dozen guys with laptops writing checks. The Feds couldn't do anything in New Orleans until the one term wonder governor requested it and she stalled for days.

There is no doubt that the Federal measures that were taken prior to Irene's landfall were substantial and helpful. You folks being quiet about the overtly apparent and excellent Federal responise to Irene underscores this.

So HA HA...that's me laughing last...

Yeah right. I've got a fucking tree on my house and I haven't heard a damn thing from any Federal official. Some fucking federal response.

Meanwhile, while you praise Bloomberg (for whatever reason), you are strangely silent about the local Louisiana officials response in Katrina. Mississippi wasn't whining at all.

There was corruption and malfeasance over the maintenance of those levees for DECADES. Yet oddly, you seem to believe that Bush and only Bush was at fault. Typical BDS.

You're grasping at leftard talking point straws

------------------

http://www.factcheck.org/article344.html

McClellan: You might want to talk to General Strock, who is the commander of the Army Corps of Engineers, because I think he's talked to some reporters already and talked about some of these issues. I think some people maybe have tried to make a suggestion or imply that certain funding would have prevented the flooding from happening, and he has essentially said there's been nothing to suggest that whatsoever, and it's been more of a design issue with the levees.

We asked the Corps about that “design issue.” David Hewitt, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said McClellan was referring to the fact that “the levees were designed for a category 3 hurricane.” He told us that, consequently, “when it became apparent that this was a category 5 hurricane, an evacuation of the city was ordered.” (A category 3 storm has sustained winds of no more than 130 miles per hour, while a category 5 storm has winds exceeding 155 miles per hour. Katrina had winds of 160 mph as it approached shore, but later weakened to winds of 140 mph as it made landfall, making it a strong category 4 storm, according to the National Hurricane Center.)

We don't know whether the levees would have done better had the work been completed. But the Corps says that even a completed levee project wasn't designed for the storm that actually occurred.

Nobody Anticipated Breach of the Levees?

In an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on September 1, President Bush said:

Bush: I don’t think anyone anticipated breach of the levees …Now we’re having to deal with it, and will.

Bush is technically correct that a "breach" wasn't anticipated by the Corps, but that's doesn't mean the flooding wasn't forseen. It was. But the Corps thought it would happen differently, from water washing over the levees, rather than cutting wide breaks in them.

You post something that validates what I have posted here but then claim that I'm simply repeating "talking points"?

“the levees were designed for a category 3 hurricane.”

That's what hit...
