Cool, calm and collected. People in this country has no idea how lucky we are.

1. I agree, calm is needed today.
Someone with a hair trigger temper and not thinking things through would be the worst thing for this country now. We need the common sense that the President uses to handle crisis after crisis.

3. Net recommendation: 0
I guess commending the President on hurricane preparedness, now, would spoil the predictable outrage when the hurricane damage isn't cleaned up in an hour.

5. I'm so thankful for a cool headed President in these times vs. someone like McCain or Palin calling
the shots.

Keep moving forward, Mr. President. I've got your back!

6. So what? He's not talking...
...to Elizabeth Warren, or Shirley Sherrod, or Warren Mosler, is he?
He's not twisting arms for the public option on that phone, is he?
Is he firing Alan Simpson? Nationalizing BP? I don't think so.

Are hurricanes that important? Huh? Huh?
