“Gov. Deval Patrick urged boaters and swimmers to stay ashore throughout the weekend, warning of 25-foot waves and 110 -mph winds pummeling Nantucket, and deadly riptides along the entire Massachusetts coastline.”

Yeah sure.

More like 50 mph gusts and 8 ft waves on the coast at the most

But the Messiah is in the AO so he will save Taxachusetts.

So, the hurricane has taken a swipe at Bermuda - where the Clinton’s are - and now is bearing down on Nantucket - where Obama is. To my mind, that’s a sign from God.

That’s what happens when you fail to appoint a hurricane czar.

Obama will simply wave his hand and Bill will go around his vacation.

And a tornado swept through Minneapolis where the Lutherans were holding a vote for homosexual clergy.

It would unfortunately affect 2 or 3 conservatives but hitting Nantucket would be a good thing otherwise! As an earlier post points out...”a sign from God” indeed!

Poor -10nobama.

His tracking poll has dropped to double digits.

Bill is hampering (at least) his glorious vacation.

Gee, I kinda feel sorry for the guy. /s

Wonder if he purchased hurricane insurance to protect his vacation?
