Rush Limbaugh Thinks Tropical Storm Isaac Is An Obama-Backed Conspiracy Against Republicans

AP
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh noticed all of the coincidences over the weekend about Tropical Storm Isaac and put them all together today into one giant theory about the "coincidence" that all of this happened during the week of the Republican National Convention.

He repeated numerous times in a monologue today on his radio show that he is "not alleging conspiracy." Then, he proceeded to point out that the National Hurricane Center is run by the government — or, in other words, President Barack Obama.
Here's Rush's diatribe:

The Republican National Convention. ... It's a chance to introduce Romney to a lot of people who don't know him yet. And I noticed that the hurricane center's track is -- and I'm not alleging conspiracies here. The hurricane center is the regime; the hurricane center is the Commerce Department.

It's the government.
It's Obama.
