    CW……………
    Do you remember the two movies Earthquake, and Towering Inferno? The industry has decided to do a REMAKE on both of them, and combine them into ONE MOVIE………..they decided to call it “Shake and Bake”. NC doesn’t rock and roll very much,until mother nature starts re arranging her furniture. She must be really PO’d at America. The storm along the East coast might as well be a NOREASTER. It is nearly as big as NOREASTERS get. Delores’s son lives near Groton Connecticut. I told him on the phone he might want to tie his house to a 100 ton anchor. Could get pretty hairy where he is at. I imagine that you might have gotten a little of the hurricane. The Hatteras light could end up needing moved again.

    Hey Zues I would think that you can do things a lot better than this. I only asked you for a couple of 20 billion volt lightning bolts, to be aimed at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. I am sure that you already know the coordinates. Do I have to come to Mount Olympus and show you how to whip up a couple of BAD ASS lightning bolts.? We need em really bad at that address.

    In stepping back and looking at these atrocious events in Benghazi, I see proof of a bigger picture, which is nothing new to us but may be getting lost in the horror of four lives lost and the other terrible excesses coming to light.

    First of all, let’s not forget that Obama himself said early on that he wanted to be president of the world. He, of course, had to start somewhere, so gaining illegally the presidency of the greatest, most powerful nation was his aim. Forget that he acts like an idiot at times. It doesn’t matter; the result is the same. Anyway, idiots are often very dangerous.

    He has demonstrated over and over again his heartlessness and his cold and calculating personality. Human life means nothing to him for a number of reasons, many of which we’ll probably never know.

    His allegiance to the Islamic world is no secret and has been demonstrated over and over again. Furthermore, he has openly stated his passion for the Muslim faith.

    Put all of the above together (I know there are pieces missing) and what you have is a person who considers himself to be able to rearrange the occurrences in the world of geopolitics as one would the “deck chairs on the Titantic”. There is no limit to his egomaniac behavior, so he feels himself to be perfectly capable of anything.

    Therefore, he sees the U.S. as only a tool to use to accomplish his worldwide goals. The military, CIA, and all U.S. assets are considered by him to be at his disposal. Again, U.S. human life and the Constitution are irrelevant to him.

    He must be stopped somehow, some way. Nov. 6th would be a good start.

    Labor Department May Delay Jobs Report

    The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections.

    A Labor official said the agency will assess the schedule for all its data releases this week when the “weather emergency” is over.

    SANDY..is flooding in the wrong areas……

    it’s coming in at Norfolk…the flooding should be on upstream in WASHINGTON DC….

    That town needs a good cleaning…the stench is terrible.

    ROMENY is going to win this election by a LANDSLIDE……

    OBAMA HAS never BEEN CHALLENGED IN AN ELECTION BEFORE.

    His State Senate race was stolen. His Senate seat was taken by exposing his oppenant’s personal life.

    His presidential election was handed to him by John McCain who went to sleep in the middle of his election campaigning.

    Romeny is now taking him to the woodshed in every state.Fla., Virginia, NC, Ohio are now in the Romney camp.
    Wisconsin, Minn., Penn., Iowa are even……..

    November 6th will be a short night for Mr. Obama.. I would recommend he start packing his bags now for a quick departure.

    On 4.2.09 the President of the United States reverently kowtows to the Saudi King, He scrapes and deeply bows.
    http://www.wnd.com/2009/04/93696/

    On 4.27.09, Air Force One terrorizes Manhattan mid-day.

    This has yet to be resolved.

    In May of 2009, Mexican President Calderone is given a standing ovation on the floor of Congress with OBAMA Administration Heads present whilst he berates our Country and our Immigration Laws.

    In February of 2012, Andrew Bartbriet advises us to see what happens on March 1st, and we see he is struck dead a few minutes past Midnight.

    What more do we need to know? What happened to the 11 Americans killed in the Gulf. yes, lest we forget…

    When I think about the Benghazi video that was available to the president and most likely viewed by him, my mind goes to the “kill lists” and those videos that he views weekly (along with Axelrod) in the Situation Room. It reminds me of snuff films. Surely his heart has been so currupted by watching them that it was not a very big step to just say “stand down” when it came to our own brave servicemen. Especially if he had something to hide. It sickens me. I can’t tell you how much. May everything hidden come to light… SOON! AMEN!

    This shouldn’t appease an already angry Creator….obviously.

    Obama’s Big Reason for Going Small

    …don’t let Obama’s tactical failures distract you from the vaulting ambition of his strategy. Obama isn’t just going for a win. He’s shooting for a “realignment.” Obama is trying to shape a new kind of electorate, creating a long-term Democratic majority that would allow him and his successors to stop catering to the center and finally govern decisively from the left.

    Going away parties are best kept small…

    From Lynn Sweet of Sun Times: “The scope of the 2012 Obama event is vastly scaled down from 2008, when some 240,000 flocked to Grant Park to be part of history on a beautiful November night. The Nov. 6 election night party — which could be a nail-biter since the contest is so close — will be at the Lakeside Center of the McCormick Place complex, and I am told there is room for about 10,000.”

    To all in the path of the storm (it’s begining here), tie down your outdoor stuff, hopefully your gas tank is full, fill up your tub with water if you have a well… I’m sure your no dummies and you already know this but I just thought I’d nag you a little, because I care for all at CW’s. May God bless you and keep you safe. Experience tells me that my internet will probably go first, but I will catch up later. Bless you all.
