WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama is canceling campaign appearances in Northern Virginia on Monday and Colorado on Tuesday so he can monitor Hurricane Sandy. The storm is currently forecast to make landfall along the Eastern seaboard at that time.

Obama is still scheduled to make campaign visits to Orlando, Fla., and Youngstown, Ohio Monday before returning to the White House. Other changes to the campaign schedule will be announced as warranted.

The White House says Obama is being regularly updated on the storm. He has directed his team to work to bring all available resources needed by state and local governments preparing for the storm, which could affect a third of the country with high winds, heavy rains and flooding.

Looks like Obama's scared of a major storm, alright...but it's not just sweeping along the East Coast...It's the entire nation. Forget Frankenstorm...it's called a storming of our capital by a tidal wave of hard working, God fearing, tax paying disgruntled American's, and it's due to hit on November 6th.
