Glenn Beck's take on Hurricane Libya.

[mainiac]

Anyone else watch that and think "And.....?" a lot?  He's saying these things that are just vague statements about the world that may or may not be true and is just waiting for his audiences knee jerk hatred to fill in the gaps.  Find the right audience and the world is your oyster.

[Bohandas]

I love how he compares a storm effecting millions of Americans as being on the same level as an attack on an embassy halfway around the world as if they're the same level of event. Um...not really, guy. One is a huge disaster that's causing billions in damages. The other was a tragic loss of life, including a prominent diplomat, but hardly counts as a national disaster.

I really don't see the President treating this storm more urgently as being anything other than sound prioritization.

The problem is that, unlike the president, many American voters have jingoistic priorities rather than reasonable priorities.

Also fits in the storm and WTF threads, but...

Bush’s FEMA Director During Katrina Criticizes Obama For Responding To Sandy Too Quickly

That is absolutely stupid.

Not only was Bush FEMA completely irresponsible about Katrina, but it was part of what made Bush's approval plummet.

Why the hell would Obama, of all people, do the same?

[Flying Dice]

As an honorable man Obama is obligated to act as stupid as his counterparts lest he give himself an advantage in the election.

That image macro makes no sense at all.

[Zrk2]

It's funny, though.

[GlyphGryph]

That image macro makes no sense at all.

What do you mean? Seems to make sense to me. Quality advice from a man we can all look up to in these tough times.

[Nadaka]

You don't understand.

Obama being evicted from office is the right thing. There for the right course of action for Obama is the course of action that would dramatically drop his approval rating and cost him the election. And screwing up this hurricane as badly as Bush screwed up Katrina would do that.

The Republicans seem to be running a new ad as of today. It can be summarized as follows: "Money, Money, World Domination, Money".

Say a couple of things about the economy, then they say that America isn't as powerful as it used to be, then they go back to the economy.

I don't even doubt the truth of the things they're saying, regardless of the amount of spin in the ad demonstrates the repellancy of the people who made it because it demonstrates, (ironically more clearly than any of the ads paid for by the Democrats) that the Republicans don't care about anything other than money and power.

Money, money, money, money...

Money, success, fame, glamour...

Ar ar ar ar ar!

Less powerful? We have sky fleets of flying death robots... Sure, Iran was able to steal one, but that's probably a solvable problem. If the military gets desperate they can start pouring money into quantum entanglement communication, which they'll have to do anyways once quantum computers are usable for cryptography (in order to still have secure communications).

[Kogan Loloklam]

The Hurricane was caused by the Milwaukee Independance Brigade. To draw all eyes away from them while they setup shadow governers in the Heartland.

You hear about them? No? It means they were successful. They won't let you remember anyway.

[RedKing]

Less than a week out from Election Day, the polls have flatlined (mostly because many polling organizations took a bit of a sabbatical due to Hurricane Sandy). But even state-level polls conducted well away from the disaster seem to be solidifying. The smart money is on a popular vote that will be extremely close or may even pan out for Romney, but an Electoral College result that will wind up around 295-243 in favor of Obama.

Nate Silver is still projecting Obama at a 77.4% chance to win, a better result than he's had in weeks. While GOPpers are choosing to focus on the national polls, they're ignoring the reality of the Electoral College. Cue the rants of "broken system" and "stolen election" and "illegitimate Presidency" for the next four years.
