If it is an Obama campaign plot, it’s an awfully good one. Who WOULDN’T want to vote for the guy who can control the weather? ---

Well of course Hurricane Sandy is an Obama plot to swing the election. He’s the Messiah. He obviously wields great power over nature. What a silly question. ---

It would be totally easy for Obama to create the hurricane. The Joe team confiscated Destro’s Weather Dominator about 20 years ago, Obama is the Commander in Chief, ergo he is the commander of the Joe team and can use the Weather Dominator whenever he wants. ---

My “back of the napkin” scientific research, shows that it’s likely this O’Donna dude has been causing me all this foamy diarrhea lately. That dude cares about me, like a casino cares about me keeping money in my wallet. If Noah was here, I don’t think he even acknowledged Mittens. Noah kept his dogs below deck on the ark. ---

Obama is well known to be part of a secret cabal that is smart and powerful enough that it can plant his fake birth announcement in _two_ Hawaiian newspapers 47 years ahead of time so he can run for US President. This cabal no doubt pushed forward global warming so that the Gulf Stream would be unusually warm this year plus that very rare blocking ridge over Greenland due to low Arctic sea ice that sent Sandy straight towards Jersey. Getting the timing right so that it was at a high neap tide merging with a front is merely details.
