Officially Hurricane season runs from June 1^st to November 30^th. The United States is in danger of getting hit this November 4^th by either Hurricane Obama or Hurricane McCain unless we get prepared to act now. Beware, both Hurricanes are catastrophic ones.

We've watched Hurricane Obama and Hurricane McCain grow from Tropical depressions to Tropical Storms to massive category 5 Hurricanes. Both Hurricane Obama and McCain grew by feeding off hot air. This empty and exaggerated talk is what drives and strengthens a tropical system. Eventually a limit is reached on how much empty talk can be dished out and the hurricane peaks in intensity. This is where we find ourselves today.

We have seen Tropical depression Obama grow to a Tropical Storm with his messianic speeches of change. Unfortunately, this message of change does not come with any substance, but empty howling wind. Tropical Storm Obama became a runaway event with more storms developing around the centre as the rhetoric became a broken record and as long it was well scripted, the more it was regurgitated by the media. This is when Tropical Storm Obama became a Hurricane and before we knew it, Hurricane Obama grew to a category 5 storm as it was now speaking of a 1 trillion dollar spending spree.

Hurricane McCain formed initially from weak low pressure systems. It was evident early on from the Republican debates that there was a lot of hot air and these thunderstorms started to spin. From immigration to Global warming to energy policy, the thunderstorms came together to form one big storm. Left in its path was McCain-Feingold, McCain-Lieberman, and FISA to mention a few. A lot of hot air was stored to make the perfect storm.

As November 4^th approaches the condensation of water vapor is evident as both Hurricane Obama and Hurricane McCain seem to be one and the same in their quest to increase the size of government, the size of the military and provide less freedom and civil liberties for Americans. This became quite evident as they both recently voted for more surveillance as we are left with less and less privacy rights in exchange of empty promises of more security. Talk about hot air.

Most Independent minded Americans understand the danger quadrant of Hurricane Obama and McCain as it fast approaches our shores November 4^th. The answer is cooling the waters with common sense solutions that a Bob Barr levee can provide. From reducing federal spending to cutting corporate welfare to restoring our civil liberties, the answer is less government. From Border security and Immigration reform to tax reform to holding the Federal Reserve accountable, Bob Barr is the levee we must build and support this November 4^th. Donations are currently being accepted for Libertarian relief. We must allow the free market to be the foundation of our levees. This November 4^th we must have the courage to break free and vote Bob Barr for President. We must "Raise the Barr".
