Yesterday, lying lard lord Rush Limbaugh made a simple statement that rang true with me. He said that the Sandy situation was a microcosm of why Obama was having trouble. He, of course went on to spew some stupid, made-up bullshittery, but I saw a direct correlation from the conservative angle:
Obama is handed a disaster, immediately attacks it with heartfelt sympathy and dedicated concentration. Whatever he does well is ignored, any conservatives who point out anything positive are ignored or derided, and a bevvy of speculative "what ifs" are introduced for the Monday morning quarterbacks of Fox News to tear apart exactly how it could have happened better. And that's just the slight right. Push out further and you've already got the nutters saying he used HAARP to cause Sandy to win the election. And not to worry: we're early yet; I'm sure we'll see legal blockades raised in order to blame Obama for not doing certain things. But those will surface only after he wins next Tuesday.
So, Rush, you were more right than you intended. You so ironic.

NJ Governor Chris Christie (if I've got the name correct) has been quite properly complimentary and appreciative of Obama's efforts, as he should be. I understand he's getting flack for it from other Republicans.
I feel guilty looking forward to his ilks heads exploding. I guess I'll just have to live with that :)

You're spot on; Hannity was throwing him under the bus today while airing audio of angry cries and pinning it directly on Obama as though he was Superman, polluted by Superman III krypotnite, getting drunk in a bar, flinging peanuts, and ignoring the calls of the helpless.
Silliyak-
No, heads exploding would be good here :)
