Obama AWOL

It’s still too soon to tell with any comfort. But the latest forecast track for Hurricane Isaac is tending toward the west. This is good news for Tampa, and the Republican National Convention scheduled to start there Monday. But not such good news for the Florida Panhandle, Mobile, Biloxi, etc.
But even if Isaac doesn’t put in an appearance as an uninvited delegate to the convention, there will still be at least one windbag in town. Vice President, and Obama court jester, Joe Biden has scheduled a campaign appearance in Tampa on Monday. Past practice has been that members of the opposing party stayed clear of the other party’s convention. But apparently our rookie president has decided that this courtesy is for the other 99 percent.
The plan may well backfire. Republicans in Tampa shouldn’t have too big of a challenge putting out a more coherent message Monday than Biden does.

Sometimes, when the news like the above comes in, I question whether there is a god. Why, would god not bless us with a hurricane is the whole of D.C., if it were real. Does god not love America? I want to know why, why, why...
TeaPartyNow| 8.24.12 @ 2:08PM
in the whole of D.C, darn that missing edit thingy

God is sending strong winds and rain to make the OWS mob less comfortable.

maybe He's going to give them a long-overdue shower

Biden walking into a hurricane?
He better batten down the plugs!
Mender| 8.24.12 @ 3:49PM
Why is he doing this? I mean, seriously?
Does he want to be the Democrat class clown?
spike59| 8.27.12 @ 6:08AM
he's in a serious battle with Derpie Wasserdumb-Schultz for 'village idiot' of the Democrat Party

So if Biden comes to town on Monday, Tampa's forecast should call for a topical depression.
Finzi Holst| 8.24.12 @ 11:02PM
Brilliant.

I'd be willing to bet you anything there will be more than 1 windbag in town. In fact, there might be as many windbags as there are those who like having the windbags blow in their faces.
Windbags inside and outside. To the left and to the right, the place will be lousy with windbags. Lots of them won't have "D" behind their name either.

that's a mean, yet accurate, thing to say about the MSM...

Hey Doctor,
they cancellled his speech...they probably just didn't want him laughed out of town. (or maybe someone read the speech draft.)
