All of us have been watching all the hype by the media concerning this rainstorm Irene and wondering why are the media making such fools of themselves.
They have been desperate to find drama shots and massive destruction to breathlessly report on but all they can find is a stormy day.
We laugh at their idiocy BUT, I believe, it won't be long before the real reason is revealed.
It is no secret that obama has been looking for a reason for another round of 'quantitative easing' that will pass Congress, well this is it.
He will insert hundreds of billion of dollars for 'disaster relief' into his request for more money to help all the people who have been stricken by this 'historic event'.
THAT is why the media and, yes that includes Fox News, has been reporting non-stop with drama which doesn't exist. It doesn't matter if they appear ridiculous, if they can't find it, they will invent it for their president.
Governor Christie has started the ball rolling with his statement 'this could cost billions if not tens of billions' of damage.
When the House is presented with the obama's request for more money it will be the biggest test for the Tea Party Representatives to hold their ground they have faced so far.
After all, how could they be so heartless to deny millions of people the help they so desperately need?
I lay a lot of the meteorologic hype at Joe Bastardi’s door and he’s a friend, not a foe. It’s high stakes to go out on a limb with the weather, that’s why so many picnics are rained out with a 40% probability of showers.
Recaps on links can be helpful
Also, libtards are trying to find more proof of climate change so they can increase the size and power of big government and do more to destroy capitalism.
The real problem with the storm that wasn’t...
Is when the real thing comes along folks won’t believe it and the result will be Katrina like.
Time will tell.
(I think you are correct)

Rebuilding Efforts to Give Economy a Boost
By Peter Morici
Published August 27, 2011 | FOXBusiness
“...rebuilding after Irene, especially in an economy with high unemployment and underused resources in the construction and building materials industries, will unleash at least $7 billion in new direct private spending — likely more as many folks rebuild larger than before, and the capital stock that emerges will prove more economically useful and productive.”

I’m not lazy...my computer is.
I personally believe they were looking for an Obama Katrina moment and so far, this is the first decent hurricane of his presidency so the media wanted to hype it up as much as possible before campaign season started.
I believe the headlines were already written praising his leadership and highlighting how under Obama, few lives were lost, things went smoothly, etc. Unlike his predecessor and Katrina.. yadda, yadda, yadda.
It fizzling out and the public almost mocking the news reports seems to have ruined this opportunity.
There is one word I have noticed that they are mentioning over and over again....”INFRASTRUCTURE”, especially in our biggest lib state New York. Isn’t that Odummys favorite word?
Looks like they are using this as an excuse to bolster Odummys demands for more money to fix our infrastructure. Don’t let a good crisis go to waste.
oh plz....the media loves natural disasters. If they can have warning of one coming, they hype it for all they can....always have...doesn’t matter who the president is.
Even so-called conservative FOX is shilling for Obama by excusing him for the recession due to the weather.
Irene Throws Obama Another Curveball Amid Push to Refocus on Economy
By Judson Berger
Published August 26, 2011 | FoxNews.com
President Obama’s been blaming “bad luck” lately for the state of the economy. Then along comes Hurricane Irene.
Are Governors getting in the free lunch line?.
The hype has two engines:
The cable channels’ motive for hype, is financial.
When their ratings, driven by out-hyping their competition, rise - the rates they can charge for commercials likewise increase. Hype is money.
For Obama, lefties were hoping upon hope he would look “leaderly”. Now he looks once again, like Michael Dukakis. But even more obviously desperate for a photo op.
The entire liberal propaganda operation looks very foolish.
From ratings to make-goods on Christie and Bloomberg asleep at the storm last winter, there are lots of individual agendas as well.
Though I’m sure Obama would have liked to milk Irene for all she’s worth, I don’t think the public will go along with much of it.
Remember Nashville.
