RUSH Blames OBAMA for National Hurricane Center’s forecast-says WE don't need these weather dolts

Limbaugh takes aim at Obama over hurricane forecast
By chron.com staff
Updated 8:10 a.m., Thursday, August 23, 2012


Rush Limbaugh claimed in his radio show Wednesday that the National Hurricane Center's warning that Tropical Storm Isaac could hit the Republican convention in Florida next week was wishful thinking, according to rawstory.com.

"The National Hurricane Center is Obama," he said. "The National Weather Service is part of the Commerce Department. It is Obama."

......................

Limbaugh questioned the need for the National Hurricane Center, which tracks such storms.

"They are talking about this Hurricane Isaac thing," he reportedly said. " We, who live in south Florida, become experts on it and we don't need the National Hurricane Center -- we don't need all these weather dolts analyzing this for us."

I've heard of racists attributing magical qualities to blacks, but this Rushbo has really gone off the deep end.

For example, the reaction or lack there of after Katrina was Obamas fault.

there is a photo of him using the sun no less for magical powers.

Rush has an Obama fixation, everything in life is Obama's fault. Rush really needs some medication! Oops, I forgot, he had his prescriptions and got caught!

The Republicans were trying privatize the National Weather Service back in 2005. Then Katrina hit. We haven't heard much about that lately.

He opens his mouth, once again.

May the storm avoid every single bit of property and human life--but maybe just spawn a tornado to clear cut a certain blustering RW cretin talk show host's palatial mansion.

than the National Hurricane Center and the hurricane sweeps your fat ass out to sea, don't ask the Coast Guard to come looking for you. That's the government, after all.

and hiring a few people at minimum wage to keep up a 24/7 prayer vigil. Heck, you might be able to keep it going with volunteers and people who need to do community service hours. Brilliant as usual, Mr. Limbaugh!

Florida is in greater danger from the hurricane of hot air and self-aggrandizing bullshit that comes out every time Limpbollocks opens his pie hole.

Sure...NOAA does the President's bidding.

It's probably part of Tea Party plans to privatize anything not in the Constitution...in their world you should purchase your weather warning coverage from a local, private weather forecaster. Can't afford it? Tough shit! Sucks to be you if a tornado hits your house!!

I considered joining the NOAA Commissioned Corps many moons ago. Turns out I would have been kowtowing to Obama's will and didn't know it at the time.

and then have it go on to Tampa. Like the prediction is somehow politically motivated and the prediction will cause the storm to follow the predicted path?

He's an idiot...if there were no NHS or they didn't try to predict the path of life endangering storms and one snuck up and hammered his house, he'd be the first to complain about it, and probably blame democrats.

that said once upon a time, and I'm paraphrasing, "we close down as soon as the winds are forecast to hit 35 mph here (West Palm Beach) and head for higher ground"

Eat me, you pus-filled Twinkie.

and you can thank Fatass for the idea!

That is for those who wants to sue Fatass into bankruptcy if their property gets hit and there was no warning.
