.Hurricane Sandy and the politics of disaster funding "The GOP has already done its best to tie Obama to the sequester, despite the fact that Republicans in Congress voted for the measure. For their part, Democrats have are seizing on the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy to use Romney's past words against him in a bid to suggest he's in favor of shifting the burden to the states. In a Republican primary debate last year, the former Massachusetts governor said states should have more control over disaster relief, including the possibility of private-sector involvement."

Argus Hamilton on Sandy; "Chicago residents were warned Monday to expect twenty-five foot waves out in Lake Michigan. The hurricane is tearing across the continent. Shooters on the South side of Chicago had to hire caddies to advise them about how to compensate for the wind speed.
"President Obama flew back to Washington D.C. from the campaign trail on Monday to monitor the hurricane. He came on the radio and issued safety instructions. He blamed Hurricane Sandy on an anti-ocean video currently making the rounds on YouTube."....
Sandy is reminder of all other broken Obama campaign promises "At his inauguration, President Obama famously proclaimed that his election in 2008 was "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." With the storm surges caused by Hurricane Sandy, yet another campaign promise has been broken. "....
...."Coming down the home stretch, President Obama picked up endorsements from three international political heavyweights: Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez, Cuba's ruling Castro family, and Russia's Vladimir Putin. Given Obama's track record, that might say it all.
"Obama promised to court international leaders, and these three really love the direction he has our country going. They were drawn to Obama by his nationalizing the healthcare industry, chasing businesses out of the country, and redistributing the wealth of the most productive to areas that will benefit him."
Well, gee, thanks, but no thanks; Iran offers to help cities devastated by Hurricane Sandy
" "Iran's Red Crescent is prepared to help the victims in the US," said Mahmoud Mozaffar, head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society's Relief and Rescue Organization."
Neal Boortz on Politicizing Sandy "I wouldn’t expect anything less from this campaign. After all, we are talking about a campaign that chose the word “forward” to begin with, which has historically been used for communist publications and campaigns for over 100 years. "
Plus some Sandy stories: ..."There’s a greater disaster out there. One that doesn’t threaten buildings. One that doesn’t flood businesses. One that doesn’t leave people stranded on roofs and construction cranes hanging precariously from tangled cables over city streets. This disaster is destroying economic liberty. It has already destroyed millions of jobs – the livelihood of millions of families across the nation. It has left prized businesses in ruins. This disaster is on course for destroying a 236 year-old experiment in government that has lifted more people out of poverty and into prosperity than any other system of government in the history of mankind.
