Remember, this storm MUST be very dangerous and terrible, so when it blows through and no one is really hurt, THE ONE can claim he responded and coordinated the event.
Personally it looks like a lot of rain. I don’t see this as being an Andrew or Katrina. (Could be wrong but I’ve seen dozens of this things)
I pray for the people in the way of this storm, but I also fear that Obama is going to try to use this as an excuse to attempt to call off or delay the election.
It’s a 2 day Nor’ Easter. The hype by the NOAA fed media is to take attention away from the failure of this administration in all other areas.
His heartfelt hand wringing is not going to change any votes that matter because the election, despite the media manipulated polls to the contrary, is not close.
It is interesting how the severity of a storm is measured by its proximity to the Washington, D.C. to NYC corridor.
My 14 yr old commented on how the news resembles the Hunger Games, “Its all about how things affect the capital.”
Disagree. The Katrina meme too weeks to develop and was helped by the fact Mayor Nagin trapped 100K of his citizens inside a sports arena. Also, Katrina’s disaster was not the storm itself but the later breaking of the levees which caused the massive flooding.
Ultimately, Katrina wasn’t THE issue that hurt Bush and the GOP but rather a combination of that, Iraq, and the botching of Soc Sec reform/privatization.
Today, people are likely set on their vote unless Romney does or says something completely inappropriate (unlikely. He’s campaigning like a disciplined SEAL right now).
Obama walks a tight line too b/c he has to be President of the United States, not President of the Democratic Party. He hasn’t played the former role with ease lately.
