Obama is ALL-POWERFUL!!!1ONE!!1!

[Theophylact]

According to Rush Limbaugh, Hurricane (or Tropical Storm) Isaac is an Obama plot:

RUSH: So we got a hurricane coming. The National Hurricane Center, which is a government agency, is very hopeful that the hurricane gets near Tampa. The National Hurricane Center is Obama. It's the National Weather Service, part of the Commerce Department. It's Obama. The media, it's all about the hurricane hitting next week, and they're not talking about Biden, they're talking about this Hurricane Isaac thing. Well, you know, we who live in south Florida become experts. We don't need the National Hurricane Center, and we don't need all these weather dolts analyzing this for us. Well, we need the center, we can look at their charts and graphs, we know what to do, we can read the stuff. I've been tracking the charted forecast track of the storm, and they're moving it sometimes to the east. The latest, 11 o'clock, they moved it to the west as a Cat 1 impact in Naples, Fort Myers area.

This morning at five a.m., the impact was Miami. We're still not talking about 'til next Tuesday, so it's gonna be all over the ballpark between now and then. We don't know where this thing is gonna hit. The models are moving it more and more out into the Gulf. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing hits in Louisiana someplace when it's all said and done. Just kidding. Nobody knows, but they're desperately hoping, they're so desperately hoping for Tampa. The media, you know, I can see Obama sending FEMA in in advance of the hurricane hitting Tampa so that the Republican convention is nothing but a bunch of tents in Tampa, a bunch of RVs and stuff. (laughing) Make it look like a disaster area before the hurricane even hits there.

Obama caused the Mid-West drought too, because he hates America -- and corn syrup.

What's fair is fair. Bush was blamed for hurricanes.

I believe the proper way to say it here is, "What's idiotic is idiotic".

What's fair is fair. Bush was blamed for hurricanes.

He wasn't blamed for the hurricanes, ,he fucked up AFTER the hurricane because he had NO idea what the hell do. Just like the rest of his Presidency.

Chuckie, I'll sell ya a formaldehyde trailer ...Cheap. Just in time for the Convention....

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan (search), who was camped outside President Bush's Texas ranch for the past few weeks, says Hurricane Katrina (search) is all President Bush's fault, insisting that the president is "[now] heading to Louisiana to see the devastation that his environmental policies and his killing policies have caused."

Sheehan is not the only one blaming President Bush for Hurricane Katrina. Germany's environmental minister says, "neglected environmental policies" in the U.S. have led to global warming and catastrophic weather. Minister Jurgen Trittin insists, "The Bush government rejects international climate protection goals by insisting that imposing them would negatively impact the American economy. The American president is closing his eyes to the economic and human costs his land and the world economy are suffering under natural catastrophes like Katrina."

So on the one hand there were suggestions that failed environmental policy had something to do with Katrina, and on the other hand there's suggestions that a sitting President is actively manipulating multiple government departments to upset a convention.

Yup, those are one and the same.

I concede the quick-glance tit for tat. On surface, they share similarities.
