President exploiting Hurricane Sandy?

Truly, my heart goes out to those literally millios of people affected by Hurricane Sandy. Very bizarre storm.

Al Gore's been out claiming it's related to Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever they're calling it now. But look at it this way -- we've had the EPA for decades now. The US and much of Europe has been working to hinder Climate Change (or wharever.) And all that's resulted so far is the storms seem to be getting worse and more catastrophic -- maybe.

There have been plenty of horrendous storms in the past. And people just figured, "Oh well, that's the way it goes," not having a political agenda attached to it. Since the political agenda has been attached, somehow people like Gore believe we can "fix" the weather with legislation.

I'm not convinced. And if yuou care about empirical results, without looking too hard, the EPA, et. al., apparently is driving these massive storms. Cause and effect, no? Using the same sloppy and simple-minded reasoning of the tree-huggers. I mean, no Katrina or Sandy before the EPA, but now, every year. No?

Speaking about weather-relted political agendas, as mentioned before, the Comrade has been out and about in New Jersey with Governor Chris Christie, a Republican, letting storm victims cry on their shoulders and promising rainbows to come. Mayor Bloomberg, New York City, refused a presidential visit -- traffic is impossible as it is.

At any rate, so the Comrade has been all over the Jersey Shore, making political hay. And this may be the first time he actually showed up anywhere near where the action is.

He's almost making much of his "cooperating" with a Republican.

Never mind that New Jersey is about at democrat as it gets. Christie was only elected there because the dems screwed up the sate big time and they needed to bring a Republican in to ensure survival.

Anyway, so the Comrade is demonstrating -- and his campaign is touting -- how well he plays with others -- that is, Republicans.

At the butt-end of his administration he figures out the value of "cooperation." Whatever happened to his high-handed "my way or the highway"attitude that he's so damn famouis for blaming on Republicans? Does Harry Reid know about the shift in policy? May be time to loose the strings on that big bundle of bipartisan legislation that's piled up from the House over the last two years.

The Comrade is just doing what any president would do -- and that's a real shocker there. But perhaps it's getting too cold to play golf?

You can fool some of the people some of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time. That's from Abe Lincoln, and the Comrade might do well to ponder on that during the flight home from the White House in January. Not that that would stop him, though.

Save the Republic.
