Doesn't seem like there's a big risk of life, mostly property. Obama can get out his pen but you're not going to stop a river.

Crazy situation though, at least when Cedar Rapids flooded last year it wasn't 20 freaking degrees!

And yet Bush was to blame for New Orleans.........
He offered help, long before the governor excepted it. But it was all blamed on Bush who made none of the mistakes on the ground, like sending busses to the wrong place. or having the rescue helicopter fly to his residence to get personal items vice rescue people.

Seems like republicans get blamed for the bad, while democrats accept the blame for things gone right.

Example, first 2 months of Obama's presidency stock market loses 1/3 of its value (not his fault) and yet it has a small rebound and Obama is credited by the drive-bys for it.. Total rubish
