I don't consider Obama to be a superman, but there is a political precedent -

Maggie won an election after 'glory' of war won in the Falklands.

The presidential donation of trillions of dollars for reconstruction following this hurricane would win him some votes in that area.

Re: Hurricane Sandy/THE PERFECT STORM

Doubt very much if anyone considers obama a superman, my guess is that comment was called a sense of humour. or playful even, hard fer some to grasp i know.

If I recall correctly from Lorenz's Chaos Theory, it was a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil that caused the tornado in Texas. Who, therefore, has farted in Accy to cause all this on the US East Coast? C'mon...own up...there's nowt to be ashamed of.

OMG

The death of AccyWeb I can now forecast.

We've finally got down to threads like this.

I for one give up, I cannot see the site being of any use to normal people until this rubbish is removed.

– At least 17 people are killed across six US states and Canada in storm-related incidents as Sandy crashes ashore

– Over 50 homes destroyed as firefighters battle raging fires in the borough of Queens


– Over 7 million people reportedly left without power after record storm

– Levee breaks in Northern New Jersey, flooding three towns

– Alert issued at New Jersey Oyster Creek nuclear power plant due to a record storm surge.......

And for the conspiracists

Was ‘Sandy’ Planned Back In 1997? 1997 Drill Was Based Upon 1938 Killer Hurricane


I'm just sharing a different view from the norm
