ABC's Sunlen Miller and Matt Jaffe Report: Senator Obama has postponed his upcoming 'Saturday Night Live' appearance due to Hurricane Ike barreling toward Texas.

"In light of the unfolding crisis in Texas, Sen. Obama has decided it is no longer appropriate to appear on 'Saturday Night Live' tomorrow evening," Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki explained in a statement.

Obama's appearance will be rescheduled for a more appropriate time.

9. only a Republican....

I saw on the Corbert Report during the RNC, an interview on
the street with a man that actually said (because of Hurricane
Hanna) he did not understand why "they had to give up a
day of  hearing the truth about Barack Obama because a couple
people are getting rained on"
