The Right Wing Hurricane Sandy Blame Game Has Already Begun...

The corporate media is criticizing President Obama for either not being at a rally in Florida today or going there and then deciding to fly back. While lives are in the balance, the great unhinged is already playing politics with this storm...hoping it turns into President Obama's Katrina...

With Hurricane Sandy batters the East Coast, President Barack Obama has opted to cancel campaign events in battleground states in order to monitor the situation on the ground. With the president preparing to leave Florida after cancelling a rally, Brian Kilmeade wondered if the cancellation of events ahead of the storm was a sign of “disarray” within the Obama campaign.

After noting that Obama flew down to Florida on Air Force One for a rally that was cancelled, Kilmeade wondered why he made the trip in the first place given that Sandy’s track was settled as early as last Friday.

“Does it show a sign of disarray or discontent within the Obama reelection campaign that he comes down there and doesn’t do anything – he just flies back,” Kilmeade asked.

“How much did it cost to fly Air Force One down and back when the president didn’t even appear at that event,” asked reporter John Roberts. “For them, I think they took the prudent step of getting him back earlier, but it does make you question why he went down in the first place.”


But you just knew this was gonna happen...shameful!!

Bishop Willard's only chance is for a heavy white turn out...and the way to do that is through non-stop fear and poutrage.

and hopefully sooner rather than later. Once the election is over, his 'claim to fame' becomes superfluous, imo, and MSNBC would be better off with another, more relevant show.
