Perfect storm 103112

According to an un-attributed Romney camp claim, if they had been in charge much of Super storm Sandy’s destruction would have been prevented.  Following that lead others were quick to blame Obama for everything, down to and including reduced Halloween treats.

DOD has stepped up with its plan to destroy storm cells before they begin their terrorist attacks on the country.  Exercising the first strike option the strategic Air Force will NUC the Caribbean Islands destroying possible storm staging areas.  Primary target in the Caribbean will be Cuba where Castro has been staging attacking storms for half a century.  The Navy plans to deploy along the continental shelf firing long range Tomahawks and engaging any surviving winds with naval gunfire.  The Army will repel rain, sleet and snow along with high tides on the beaches and in the streets with a slow, fighting withdrawal back to the mountains if faced with superior power.  The CIA plans to launch Drones from Utah to take out key infrastructures suppressing clandestine flying debris support of storms.  DOD is increasing funding for mad scientist developing weather control weapons that show promise of diverting on coming storms to France.   The State Department will enter negotiations for a loan from the Chinese to fund recovery efforts.  In a quid pro quo the Chinese will receive the major outsource contracts.  Under the new administration Traveler’s giant red umbrella will be constructed over the country to prevent future storm damage.  Chinese mills are already producing miles of red silk for the umbrella, which will be constructed in Japan.

I’m reminded of a piece of political science doggerel, “ The (American) president has more power than he ought, but not as much as most people thought.”  The latter is a hard lesson to accept for every new administration.
