Some Political Predictions about the hurricane

What we might expect to hear:

1. Obama failed to take the hurricane’s threat seriously and failed to lead. Also, from the same folks, Obama overreacted. Also, still from the same folks, Obama should have left the hurricane to the professionals and by interjecting himself into the situation he was merely engaging in political grandstanding and was endangering the lives of the storm’s victims.

2. The government’s response to the hurricane was inadequate and also, by the way, the government has no legitimate role to play in responding to natural disasters, all of which should be dealt with by the states, unless they happen to happen in a state in which the speaking politico happens to reside, in which case the government’s failure to assist that state is shocking, appalling, and Obama’s fault, despite the fact that the politico in question voted against properly funding FEMA.

3. There were no mismanaged natural disasters when Bush was president.

4. I’m not saying there’s necessarily a connection, but did you notice that the hurricane hit several portions of the country where gay people live?
