Superbowl Blackout-it's the GOP's fault
Facebook ^ | 2/3/13 | Obed Norman

Lights out during the Super Bowl. President Obama fought for 4 years to have the power grid updated. The GOP resisted him for 4 years. This is America on GOP obstruction. Having the power reliability of a banana republic. When will you wake up and realize the GOP should never be allowed anywhere near the levers of power? When the lights give out during your open-heart surgery? This is serious and yes, it is political as it is about responsible governance.

It’s only a matter of minutes until Obama comes on the TV and makes it known that our national energy grid is in need of improvement due to the last 12 years of congressional (read that GOP) bickering.

Start your stop watches.....now.

I hear there are scattered reports of cannibalism from inside the dome.

The (unfortunately) partial blackout happened just after Beyonce completed a writhing , grinding performance worthy of a pagan fertility goddess ritual. Instead of the GOP one might look to a higher power. Perhaps just a playful tweak from the Almighty warning us that He is not to be mocked and those on who He has bestowed his blessings may also receive His wrath for their insolence and concupiscence.

Or that the fact that the power outage was contained and didn’t cascade down the line proves the power grid does work.

According to a Entergy tweet the problem was with superdome equipment.

Oh good grief. It wasn’t a power grid failure. It was localized in just one quad of the stadium.

Bush's fault, since he hated black people, so he made sure that there would be a Superbowl blackout in NOLA because of the hurricane!
