    The building obviously had some severe structural problems already, its likely the weather was only incidental in the collapse.

    If the United Nations building topples (which it might) Obama will take the crisis and say rebuild and ratify.

    But if this should come to pass and be the act of GOD, then WE THE PEOPLE should ask “WHY?!”.

    Oh Lord, let this be a storm that unites rather than a storm that divides that WE are effectively empowered to cast out the wicked in love an peace! IJN, Amen!

    When the economy falls soon, this storm’s effect on the east coast is going to seem minor. These big cities can’t handle bad times; they can’t handle the good times. Living in a city is a really bad place to be right now. Get out of the cities while you can. Get self sufficient in the country people. REALLY BAD TIMES ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

    Why is George Bush doing this to us? Someone make him stop! And just as the Messiah was getting the economy turned around!

    “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” Rahm Emanuel NOV2008
    Let’s see…
    Inspections of every NYC building + Licenses/Fees to have you building inspected = $
    Inspection of every bag of mortar + Import taxes of said mortar = $
    Sales taxes on said mortar + Payroll taxes on installer = $
    Bloom could go on and on and on….

      It has just been reported that NYC has 70 transit tunnels that are flooded and it will take at least four days to clear them out. Better change the constitution so that the temporary resident at 1600 Pennsylvania can change the election in a week to get that NYC vote.

    I’assume it was already coming off, since the fire dept. was there waiting for something to happen.
    Probably WAS shoddy construction labor.

    Well lets just make this into a positive, Maybe, just maybe old bloomers will have far more to focus on then the size of drinks, gun sales in Arizona and everything else he has stuck his big old puss into.
