A hurricane is a pretty serious force of nature, and does not respond to our feeble efforts to dissuade it from striking a heavily populated coastal region. There is so little now known about the formation and propagation of large storm systems, or even very localized storm cells, that there is no practical way of changing either the course or intensity of the storm. The capability did not exist in 2000, when Bush was first elected to office, and it may not exist in the year 2100, when the world has fallen into total anarchy because of abuses of the electoral system throughout the 21st century, by politicians making promises they cannot keep about things they know little about, but are willing to waste vast amounts of human capital to support their thesis that "It's all Bush's fault."
Now who can argue with that? Apt response.
