Yesterday the National Journal Daily<\/a> posted a story saying that the Democrat party<\/a> had cancelled its planned Florida<\/a> events during the Republican convention<\/a> due to the hurricane. Oddly enough, the protestors were not enamored with the idea of standing outside in hurricane-force winds and tropical downpours while the conventioneers enjoyed their inside climate-controlled environment.<\/p>\n

The interesting part of the article:<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> took care to note Obama\u2019s work on Sunday to manage federal preparations for Isaac. Obama called Florida Gov. Rick Scott<\/a> and received a briefing from Craig Fugate<\/a>, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency<\/a>, and Rick Knabb, director of the National Hurricane Center<\/a>, while at the presidential retreat at Camp David<\/a>. FEMA has, the White House said, deployed disaster-preparedness teams to Florida and Louisiana<\/a>. In a statement consistent with the day\u2019s storm-tossed partisan hush, Obama said he had asked Scott to \u201clet him know if there are any additional resources the administration could provide, including in support of efforts to ensure the safety of those visiting the state for the Republican National Convention.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Isaac intensifies into a hurricane, as predicted, it could threaten a swath of the Gulf Coast and might require Obama to scale back plans to campaign this week in Colorado<\/a>, Iowa<\/a>, and Virginia<\/a>. A senior administration official said that no decisions have yet been made about altering Obama\u2019s campaign schedule.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note that no plans have yet been made to alter the President’s campaign schedule. I don’t think we should re-elect President Obama–I think we should just send him out on the campaign trail for the next four years–he seems to enjoy that more than actually governing.<\/p>\n
