A tale of two leaders
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080614/ap_on_re_us/midwest_flooding


<<President Bush was briefed on the flooding in Iowa and other parts of the Midwest while he was in Paris, and was assured that federal agencies are making plans to help people affected by the high water, White House press secretary Dana Perino said.>>

meanwhile.....

<<Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama toured Quincy and helped fill sandbags Saturday.

"Since I've been involved in public office we've not seen this kind of devastation," Obama said of the Midwest flooding. He vowed to push the federal and state governments to provide needed aid to the stricken areas.>>

2. No one could have predicted....
...that a strong La Nina cycle that causes a lingering stationary front across the Midwest could have possibly caused the violent weather this spring.

Except the same thing happened in 1993. Preznit Fuckstick and his fetal alcohol syndrome brain - how'd those highballs taste, silver douchebag - strikes again.
