Indeed, as was the Ice/Snow storm we just went through is also the President’s fault.

Or did I learn the wrong lesson from Katrina, via the MSM and Democrats about who controls the weather?

Just saying.....

Haven’t you heard?? The Halliburton Hurricane Steering Device (H2SD), that was used to push Katrina into New Orleans and kill black people, has been retired by the evil scientist Cheney.

I don’t believe YOU. I think Obama is punishing me with cold weather, snow and two inches of ice, because I throw away my political principals, and voted for a moderate RINO named McCain last November.

Its obvious to me the President controls the weather, and that President Obama is following the same exact course Bush and Cheney did, by inflicting bad/poor/dangerous weather conditions upon ME.

I know this, because I saw it on television, read about it on the internet, and somebody said Art Bell proved it conclusively.

(grin)

It's only just begun, and already NY's UI fund is broke. They are borrowing from the feds a billions day. That's going to add up pretty darn quick, and with Calipornia and other states piling on the fed food wagon, then all the rest when their Ui funds run out, Obama's going to have to write UI bail out checks to the tune of about 800 billion a week before this year is done.

But don't worry, abortions are free.

"Its obvious to me the President controls the weather,"

of course he does, he's the Messiah. But I think you are a little tin hatted to think he's punishing you directly for voting RINO.

What he's doing is stopping global warming and stopping the oceans from rising. He just hasn't told anyone he was fixing global warming at the same time as he's fixing the economy. He does it when he's sitting on the crapper, so none of his handlers realizes all that chanting and grunting is him doing the rituals and prayers to fix global warming. If they did you can bet it would be on the front page of the NYT's.

You can expect him to announce it soon though, because he never misses an opportunity to appear before the masses and hear the praise from his faithfull.

While your at it, how about installing a lightning strike targeting system, accurate to about 3 square feet or so?

Ted Kennedy and the Democrats made sure that the minimum wage has been raised 2 times in a year and a half.

Maybe the Democrats should delay the third wage increase which is supposed to take effect in July.

I, among with 800 other people at my workplace received notice that we were all targeted for layoff between April and June. Well over half the people here are losing their jobs.
