how the hell can obama do something about the storm? it's mother nature for god's sake!!! stop bringing politics into it!
Typical Obama Voter October 27, 2012 at 12:41 am
You are such a B.. First off, there is no "God". Second, Obama can do something about it. We just have to reelect him and he will end global Warming in his second term by building windmills and solar farms.

This is really poorly done satire... Really poor.

For the brave ones staying on the Island. Don't forget essentials . Here is a little tip that was given to me that i would like to pass along in case you lose power. Fill any empty soda or water bottles 3/4 full of water, freeze them, and then if lose of power, take them out of freezer, put them in frige to keep food colder longer.

What was the cause of bad storms in the past?
Dave Sleeper October 27, 2012 at 01:41 am
I think Bush is behind this somehow.
Dave Sleeper October 27, 2012 at 01:49 am
I'm with Big Lib Dem on this one. So we drain the Barnegat Bay, burry the spent nuke fuel, and fill in the rest with Pine trees. Then we put up wind mills and solar panels on top of that...Whella! God bless ya Big!

Remember Al Gore? The guy who won a Nobel Prize by producing a slide show on global warming.
He said ocean levels are rising, and what did he just do? He bought an oceanfront mansion. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/17/photos-al-goree-new-8875_n_579286.html#s91253

Somehow Bush was responsible for Hurricane Katrina, so Obama can get blamed for this one.
Rick October 27, 2012 at 03:32 am
Lots of rain & wind

Doesnt everybody know the government controls the weather with the use of some machine at some b.s. place up in Alaska. This is the democrats aiming it the liberal northern states so after the storm the can come in, save the day, and all will vote for them. I know its true. Tommorow Donald Trump will prove the existence of this machine right after he proves Obama wasn't born in America. Btw Big Bird is the one at the controls of this machine.

what dolts like sleeper and oc tea party havent figured out is no one is saying bush is responsible for katrina just his total incompetence of handling the aftermath. those fema trailers are still gathering mold in virginia never having made it to new orleans where people were tying the bodies of their families to stop signs so after a week and no help was coming they had no other choice. when that happens under obama give us a call will ya? we are now having "storms of the century" every year now while this braintrusts like sleeper, rick and oc still laugh at climate change because breaking heat records every year and superstorms are of course normal.

So why did Gore buy oceanfront property?
Do you think they should have moved the FEMA trailers into New Orleans that first week, before the water had subsided?
Dave Sleeper October 27, 2012 at 08:49 am
What pinheads like Frank Reynolds and his moron liberal buddies fail to comprehend is when Katrina happened, Bush acted on the best advise available and did a decent job of handling a huge problem. To date, when the "ass clown" we have in there now can't figure out why he screwed things up, he blames Bush. So why not blame Bush for Sandy too?
BN October 27, 2012 at 09:42 am
Notice how Mayor Nagin never gets blamed?
letsgetreal October 27, 2012 at 10:15 am
I just Hope Bush does not blow up any of the Levy's this time....! LOL
Rick October 27, 2012 at 02:26 pm
If you have enough chocolate and wine why do you need a generator?
Rick October 27, 2012 at 02:29 pm
Bush was blowing up denim pants?
Sal Sorce October 27, 2012 at 03:00 pm
Don't all you Democrats realize Obama
has been too busy with his campaign if lies to be bothered with trevial issues like our welfare ... oops that's right we have more people on welfare all ready to vote Burack Hussein Obama in for more fun and free stuff ... I'd like to see who he is going to blame this one on ???
Dave Sleeper October 27, 2012 at 03:28 pm
Bush again eh? Might have known it. He always hated them Denim plants. He always use to say, "If I can't spill a couple million barrels of oil in the gulf today, at least I can blow up a denim plant."
Mark October 27, 2012 at 04:16 pm
Right, because Republicans have done such a bang up job over the past few decades
Mark October 27, 2012 at 04:18 pm
You better label this as a joke, all of the GOP voters will actually believe it
Rick October 27, 2012 at 04:41 pm
That wasn't my comment. letsgetreal said something about Bush blowing up levy's. The last I heard Levy's made jeans.
Rick October 27, 2012 at 04:47 pm
I have to admit that I am a bit confused about the concept of a voluntary evacuation order. If it is a voluntary evacuation, isn't that merely a suggestion?
How is this 'order' worded? "Here's an order to leave, if you want to".
Sassy October 27, 2012 at 11:25 pm
You Big Liberal Democrat are just the kind of idiot it would take to vote Obama in another 4 years.
Bepe November 1, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Obama stopped his campaign while Romney bought $5,000 of goods and staged a rally.
He than handed out the goods to his supporters and they in return gave them back to him so it looked liked he was helping the hurricane victims. How sick is that!
Rick November 1, 2012 at 06:42 pm
Notice what you said. "Romney bought $5,000 of goods "
That would be out of HIS pocket. Obama will pay out tax dollars and have the Fed print up some more money. And just how do you know that he bought this and "staged a rally"?
Rick November 1, 2012 at 06:59 pm
Obama stopped his campaign?
He has been campaigning for reelection since November 2008. His little jaunt into AC yesterday was just added stop on his campaign trail. He flew up on Air Force One, boarded Marine One, flew into AC and shook a few hands. The only reason he didn't go to NYC instead was because Bloomberg told him not to. And, Marine One was the 'copter he flew in from the White House to Andrews AFB to get on Air Force One. The copter then had to fly up here to meet him.
