    Not to worry BHO “has it all under control”.
    I clearly remember Bush being damned for Katrina which I could never understand – but BHO uses the Hurricane to campaign – promises all will be just fine yet people are still out of water, electric, heat, etc. and he is praised by the media? Why no cries to dump him?
    Well I am crying out to each and ever person reading this,
    Go out and vote – vote for the man who truly loves this wonderful country the man who wants to get it back on track – regain it’s respect and power, the man with experience in building.
    Go out early and vote and remind all your friends and relatives to do the same! It’s a very IMPORTANT election – so even if it is difficult pleeeeeeeeeez try really hard and do it.

    This is great news. Now these residents who normally vote for obama will probably avoid voting. The storm SANDY stands for Sodom And New York Destroyed. It will make life difficult for the toevanicks and keep obama from getting reelected.
