Hurricane Sandy, Satan's Birthday Present to the Banksters?

With Hurricane Sandy approaching the east coast of the USA and the US election only 8 days away, it looks like an act of god is certain to alter the political landscape around the next election.

How each major candidate responds to the upcoming catastrophe on the east coast is going to very heavily determine peoples perception of whether to vote for them. You can be sure there will be no Katrine like FEMA bullshit this time, the eyes of the world will on the USG and if they fail to deliver in New York of all places, where the United Nations is then they will be publicly flogged. Of course, many people have been warning of a catastrophic flood in NY for year, unlike the Thames barrier in London, New York has no such protection, and just unfortunately, because of the way the island is shaped, it channels the incoming seawater, amplifying the size of any storm surge that is going to hit the area. 
You can bet that both politicians at the moment are praying that they don't fuck up up the response, FEMA will be there actually doing it's job this time.. and why?
Well, you see.. these are rich white people, whereas New Orleans was mainly populated by poor black people.
If Obama handles this right, this could hand him the election on a plate, after all, there is no better way of making someone vote for you than rescuing them from certain death.
The fact that the NYSE is closed today, as well as the UN makes it sure that a whole bunch of clandestine bullshit will be pulled all over the world while everyone is focused on the USA. It would not surprise me at all if either the computers in the stock market get destroyed, or there is wholesale data loss of some kind. It also wouldn't surprise me at all if it turned out that a whole bunch of contracts and such will disappear into thin air the same way they did on 9/11. In fact, you could say that to the Bankers, this is Satans birthday present, an opportunity to bury all the incriminating evidence in a massive natural disaster that no one will be able to question. All the major banks will have only "essential" staff at them. You have to wonder what constitutes essential staff in this kind of situation. My guess is they will be ripping out the server racks and drowning them as fast as they can, but maybe i'm just the cynical type.
