Yes this is a vanity and yes everything can change again in 12 hours...HOWEVER...BE REMINDED OF THIS QUOTE FROM TEAM OBAMA!!!
"Never let a good crisis go to waste"
The perfect storm might be developing for Obama as we speak as models for Tropical Storm soon to be Hurricane Isaac have shifted directly towards where?
New Orleans.
Take a moment and think about this scenario.
Team Obama with HHS and FEMA get together and make sure they do everything Team Bush didn't do in the days and hours leading up to Katrina. The week of the hurricane as it ravages the Gulf coast...Obama rides into town and saves the day with his army of loving media scum riding in tow to capture every shot and picture of Obama's government "hard at work" for the American people.
What's next?
A DNC convention to show images and talk up the heroic acts of Team Obama and before you know it...polls swing and shift and Obama is up 10 points in national polls because we know the average American is only interested in their short term memory and who was a hero to them lately and who is taking care of them and saving the day.
Get ready...because if these models indeed keep West into Louisiana....Team Romney has a bigger problem on its hands than a poor speaking Congressman out of Missouri.
Remember...at the end of the day...it is all about the media and all about their control and what they can do with images and words.
How true.
Do not think this is going to produce a bump at all.
I wonder if Looter guy would show up to GOP
It really in his hood LOL!
By the looks of things, Issac is going to be a weaker storm
Remember what happened to Bush’s popularity after 9/11? Even people who DIDN’T like him approved of him. His approval rating approached 90 in the month or two after 9/11.
Obama could well see the same thing.
This storm REALLY needs to end in a gentle rain somewhere in TX.
Looks like it will weaken in the area of Cuba.
TX needs the cooling rains.
Maybe, maybe not.
Each model run is further west. There is a nice cluster around Pens., but more and more are going Mobile....the trend. And environment good for explosive strengthening.
AL or FL panhandle hit. Strong cat 1 or weak cat 2 which is not a big deal for FL or AL. We can tell that idiot to stay home and keep his (our)money. His endless photo op trips would only get in the way.
This storm really hurts Obama and he knows it.
I lived in that area for decades
The Oil Companies will shut down the Oil Platforms and it not a switch
They remove crews and God only know what if any damage it will do
We get about 26% of our Oil from the Gulf and Gas will go up before the election by how much nobody knows until it hit and if it hits an Oil refinery oh well
Maybe. But who is in charge now in New Orleans? No more idiot Nagin. Plus we have Jindal there. And this will be a much weaker storm than Katrina. If they try that, it’ll be easy to shoot down.
But yes ... the Dems are likely to get a big bounce after their convention. They’ll slam the GOP’s convention and will have slick Willie speaking and Obama will deliver a great speech with his teleprompter.
Apparently you don’t get that disasters are good for incumbents....MAJOR bumps often follow.
100% correct.
“He can’t do anything until Governor Jindal asks for assistance.”
Exactly. And wasn’t it the mayor of NO and governor of LA who President Bush kept calling to see about federal help but kept getting turned down? And wasn’t it Democrat politicians who kept school buses in flooded lots when they could have been mobilized early on to get people out of Dodge to safety?
The good news is the first convention usually has the biggest bump.
The most likely situation, no doubt.
Of course now this week’s news will be the storm, not the convention.
You got that right.
