Nobody’s Talking About This

I wish the candidates were talking about how global warming and development policies lead to this endless loop of flooding:
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Swollen rivers flooded parts of the central United States on Friday and threatened to engulf a major interstate highway in Missouri, after violent rainstorms caused at least 16 deaths, according to reports on Friday.
Further north, a winter of severe weather stretched into the second day of spring as a storm bore down on the Midwest, dropping heavy snow and delaying flights.
Many rivers were swollen beyond their banks, leaving houses under water, from parts of Texas north to Ohio after inundating rains this week — in some cases on the heels of record snowstorms earlier in the month that left soils saturated.
Reports across the region said some 16 people had died, either swept away by rushing waters or in traffic accidents blamed on the heavy storms.
I blame Obama. Hillary would have dived into the water and saved those people.
I know you’re kidding, but this IS the sort of thing where total policy wonks like Clinton should excel. There’s no question that it was a lack of attention to details and how they play in the big picture that led to the FEMA disaster in New Orleans.
Wait’ll that snow melts… then Bush With Tits can dive into the water and save those people… under sniper fire.
Bush With Tits — would that be Cheney?
