"Well, I want to tell you something: Hurricane Obama -- this irene. Whatever this Irene is going to cost us, it pales in comparison that has been the Hurricane that is the Obama administration.
"The Obama administration, the Hurricane has cost us far more. And Byron York, while I was gone, great story, fabulous story on the source of all this deficit spending under Obama. The $4 trillion that they're spending. Everybody's focused on entitlements and he correctly points out it's not entitlements that have busted the budget here. Entitlements are known, the spending in entitlements.
"What's been added to the entitlements is where we're in trouble. The purposeful spending, the stimulus -- the Porkulus -- the TARP. All of these things, above and beyond the entitlements.
"Now, one of the tricks is to distract people from that and to get them focused on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid as the source of the problem, and they're problems that have to be dealt with. But they are not the culprit here, Obama is!
"And all the focus on 'he's not serious about entitlement reform.' Well, that's simply a way to distract people a way from what Obama has actually done.
"This (Hurricane hype) is just a media frenzy without any results just like the Obama presidency. Obama's economy. Look at it this way: Obama's economy has millions of people out of work, millions more living paycheck-to-paycheck. Millions are getting deeper in debt as every month passes."

Now that’s funny!
“Pales in Comparison” is obviously a racist remark.
Probably didn't need it but will add anyway. :D)
Though even FOX News was over the top with continuous coverage of Irene, I doubt anyone can outguess nature. So the warnings were in order. However, I think that all across the country people prayed that the storm be rendered either less powerful than expected, or that it would turn back out to sea before landfall. I think our prayers were answered for the most part. Thank You, Lord.
Amazingly, the Federal government was ringing up debt at a faster rate than Irene was causing damage.
The hurricane may pass out to sea but the torrent of red ink continues.
Hurricane Obama fits that Jeff Dunham joke that Walter says.
“Exciting at first then it ends in disaster!”
