Maybe God Has a Hand In This: Obama Cancels SNL Appearance in Wake of Hurricane Ike

It was just a couple of weeks ago when former DNC Chair Don Fowler was yukking it up over the possibility of Hurricane Gustav interfering with the GOP Convention while the bloated bigot Michael Moore said Gustav was a gift from God.

Well, as it so happens, Gustav didn't destroy New Orleans and only temporarily delayed the GOP convention. Funny, too, that Barack Obama was then enjoying a small bounce from the DNC. But the show went on, and ever since then Obama has been plummeting in the polls.

Well, in a classic irony, now Obama feels the time isn't right to be going on Saturday Night Live and cracking funny as Hurricane Ike makes landfall in Texas.

Maybe God does have a hand in these things.

With a deadly hurricane aimed at Texas, Barack Obama cancelled his appearance on Saturday Night Live this evening, spokesman Jen Psaki in a statement.

"In the light of the unfolding crisis in Texas, Senator Obama has decided it is no longer appropriate to appear on Saturday Night Live tomorrow evening," she said.

Obama hits Manchester, New Hampshire Saturday morning for a rally with Rep. Carol Shea Porter (D-NH) and Gov. John Lynch.

Obama finds it amusing to run ads busting on a wounded former POW for not using email, why not go on SNL and get some free pub, Barry? Hey, it's not like those hayseeds in Texas are going to be voting for you anyway, right?

Why all of a sudden is there a concern for possible hurricane victims? What are you going to do, schedule a flyover and pretend you care about the victims?

OK, in all seriousness folks, Ike is causing massive damage and millions are without power.

More here. Say a prayer for the folks in Texas and the Gulf area.
