Chris Christie for Dictator

It is a short clip and absolutely worth watching. This lady thought she was scoring points and then she gets destroyed. Its domination.

A Walking Contradicteration

As President Barack Obama geared up for his first full press conference in 304 days, I wondered if he'd give long rambling answers in order to minimize the number of questions. I wondered if he'd... uhh... ummm... use lots of fillers when off-script. And, I wondered if he'd continue to blame George W. Bush for all his recent troubles.

Lucky for me, BHO never disappoints.

Other highlights from today's rare question-and-answer with the media:

• The President isn't "contradictering" himself (skip to the 9:05 mark of the video).
• The President offered his solution for failed bureaucracy: different bureaucracy.  Slightly contradicterive, I'd say.
• Like his Press Secretary, the President wants nothing to do with answering questions about the Sestak Situation.  Contradictering his vow for "the most transparent White House ever".
• The President claims "the federal government is fully engaged," in the BP oil spill. "I am fully engaged."
  But, in the same conference, he also claims, he doesn't know "the circumstances" of  the dismissal of the head of the Mineral Management Service. 
  
  That, too, sounds like he is contradictering himself.

* Oil.
Lots of politicians and media-types are obsessed with focusing blame on BP.  And, don't get it twisted, I think the cost of clean-up is their's and their's alone... but what do these people think BP's motivations are?

I think BP is motivated by making money by selling oil.  So, if they are losing oil, and spending money trying and failing to clean it up, all while giving themselves a name forever tarnished with this incident, what could they be possibly have to gain?

** Mexicans.
Mexico's President, Felipe Calderon, showed up in Washington D.C. to bad mouth a U.S. State law (Arizona's improved illegal immigration bill).  Instead of having rotten fruit thrown at him, American Congressmen stood in applause.  They even had cute little bracelets made aggreeing with him.

Opinions of the law aside.  I fear for the state of things when ANY outsider-- no matter their title or commentary-- can address a joint session of Congress and slander one of America's 50 states.  It's not just appauling... it is downright weird.

*** High Crimes & Misdemeanors
The Obama White House offered Joe Sestak a new job if he dropped out of his primary race against Arlen Specter.  He didn't take the job, but he did win the primary.  And, although Sestak's bribery admission happened in February, it is still getting a lot less play than I'd like.

The media is allowing Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to bob-and-weave his way out of "transparency" with clever misdirections like:

Hello from my cell phone.

A homeless guy asked me for some money a few minutes ago to which I replied "Sorry, but I work for my money".
The homeless guy responded, "But I don't have a job!"

"Thats because your lazy ass just sits in front of this gas station," says me.


Moral of the story...homeless people get angry easily.

Supreme Donor

President Barack Obama has nominated Elena Kagan as the next Justice of the United States Supreme Court.  She hasn't been a judge before, which isn't a bad thing.  Her resume' includes a nice stint as the Dean of Harvard Law School.

(Her most remarkable moment there, in the eyes of the national media, was when she attempted to disallow military recruiting on her campus because of the "moral injustice" of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.  President Bush appealed to the Supreme Court, and Harvard and other law schools lost the decision 8-0.)

I digress.  A continued look at Kagan's resume' reveals her last "job" before being appointed by President Obama as Solicitor General was as member of the Research Advisory Council of the Goldman Sachs Global Markets Institute.

Hmmm... it seems there was some other place I saw both Harvard and Goldman Sachs listed... where was that list again...

US Taxpayer money given to GM: $62,900,000,000.
Official Bailout amount: $49,500,000,000.
Actual loan amount: $6,700,000,000.
Amount GM has payed back: $6,700,000,000.

Amount of GM money used to pay it back: $0.
Amount of taxpayer money used to repay the loan: $6,700,000,000.

GM used taxpayer money to repay taxpayer loans, and now they are touting it as the comeback of a company.

It is funny to me when liberal financial tricks come to the light of day.  What is not funny is that it their attempt at sneakiness cost us, the taxpayer, a total of $62,900,000,000 which could have bought us nearly 3 million new Impalas.  That breaks down to about $600 from each of us.  Thanks dicks.
