Hump Day Report: Props to a Badger and a Gator

Even Woody would like these guys

ALOHA, ALL!!  Faithful HDR readers know I’m a staunch Buckeye – I bleed scarlet & gray!  But today I gotta give shakas to people from two rival territories:  Scott Walker from Wisconsin and Tim Tebow from Florida.  YOU GUYS ROCK!! Net Gain of 33,000 jobs in Wisconsin in Scott Walker’s First Year  ”Barrett’s campaign is accusing Walker of cherry-picking data and playing politics by accelerating the publication of the CEW results. However, the accusation of cherry-picking is nonsense. The CEW is an actual census of employers in the state, not a survey based on a sample of households.”  But some people are very unhappy with Walker – his opponents:  Pro Scott Walker Signs Burned On Private Property   Nice.  If you can’t beat ‘em, torch ‘em!  Here’s why they’re not happy, poor babies:  Walker, Kleefisch Lead In Recall  June 5 – GO WALKER!! Ten Tips for Tim Tebow  ”A good, God fearing man, born to Christian missionaries, comes to New York to help the team win. How will he handle the Big City, and will the media give him a chance?”  GO TEBOW! In Other News: Team Romney WILL beat Team Obama.  Here’s why:    Romney’s team is smart – they are staying positive and focused.  They refuse to get pulled into the mire of what Super PACs might do (the PACs will do whatever they want anyhow.) Then there’s this.  Obama in Tight Primary Race in Arkansas   Yep….right in Clinton Country he’s only 7 points ahead of an unknown!  And here’s how Team Romney is using this:  ”Seeking to attract Democrats and independents who supported the last Democratic president, Romney has taken to lavishing praise at every turn on Clinton’s boom-era ’90s policies while contrasting them unfavorably with President Barack Obama’s old-school, Big Government ways.”  I repeat….Team Romney WILL beat Team Obama.   Obama budget voted down.  Again.  99-0.  A Glimmer of Hope for the American Dream  ”Compare the President’s proposal — and Reid’s total lack of a proposal — with the four plans offered by conservatives in Congress, chief among them being Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) budget, which mirrors the bold and thorough reforms The Heritage Foundation first proposed in its Saving the American Dream plan. That includes limiting the size of the federal government, reforming entitlement programs, and simplifying the federal tax code in an effort to restore our nation’s economic prosperity and ensure that future generations are not saddled with today’s debt.” Harry Reid – epic FAIL!  Senate Rejects Five Budget Plans  “Democrats can’t even put a plan on a piece of paper,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. “As far as I can tell, their only plan is to take shots at our plans and hope nobody notices that they don’t have one of their own.” The votes, he said, will show the public “who’s got a plan to fix the mess we’re in and who doesn’t.” WHY ARE WE STILL BUYING OIL FROM VENEZUELA??  Dick Morris explains in this video how Iran is shipping missiles to Chavez – missiles that can easily strike the US.   The story that just won’t go away.  I wonder why?  Proof Obama Born in Kenya?  Obama Literary Agent Says So  ”Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”  UPDATE:  Literary Agent Now Claims “Fact-Checking Error.”   OK…so why did Obama say  ”I am so proud to come back home”?  While speaking in Kenya in 2006????  Is this also a “fact-checking error?”   GREAT video from Susan B Anthony List!   Final Thought:  “Any time you give a man something he doesn’t earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.” Woody Hayes

Hump Day Report: Arpaio v. Holder

“Bring It On!!”

ALOHA, ALL!!  Eric Holder’s Department of Injustice is going after Sheriff Joe Arpaio.  The DOI claims it’s because Arpaio violated the civil rights of individuals in Arizona and discriminated against Latinos.  Interesting.  Isn’t it curious that Holder is going after Sheriff Joe but NOT The New Black Panter Party?  Remember this?  

And the bounty they put on George Zimmerman’s head?  

I also wrote in the last HDR about how Holder refuses to go after the “corrupt-o-crats” on Wall Street because they are big money donors to Obama:  Justice for Sale At Holder’s DOJ  Yet Holder thinks that Joe Arpaio, who is trying to protect the citizens of Arizona and attempting to uphold the law, is worth pursuing?  Coincidentally, Arpaio has been investigating the validity of Obama’s long-form birth certificate.  Gee….how convenient.  OMG – Obama Must Go!   It’s this kind of cronyism and witch-hunting mentality that pervades the Obama administration.  That’s why it’s not enough for Republicans to gain control of both Houses of Congress…..Obama doesn’t care about the separation of powers anyhow.  Obama needs to go in November so his entire stench-filled Cabinet is eliminated.

In Other News…

Premature Elation:  Obama’s States’ Rights Hypocrisy  ”Obama’s new position in support of gay marriage fits well with his opposition to DOMA as regards federal recognition of same-sex marriages, but his resort to the states’ rights argument would seem to affirm one of DOMA’s central provisions.”  (BTW, I contend Obama is not a flip-flopper on gay marriage, but a liar.  He’s supported it all along and has said he’s pro or con depending on what would help get him elected:  Obama Backed Same Sex Marriage in 1996.  Here’s Obama in 2008 with Rick Warren.  Note the body language – I’m no expert but you can tell he’s a liar by the eye movements and head tilting:  


Romney’s Cruel High School Pranks  ”Despite demonstrating zero curiosity over Barack Obama’s college transcripts to check on just how brilliant the academic actually was, the Post now has a big expose on Mitt Romney’s high school career as … a practical joker.”  Wow.  Can anyone say “desperation”????  In contrast….

Flashback:  Obama’s Sordid HIgh School Past  ”Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.”

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!  Washington Post Romney Hit Piece Implodes  ”Timed to drop the day after President Obama’s announced embrace of same-sex marriage, the story set the political world atwitter. But earlier today, Breitbart News reported that the Post had inflated witness testimony.”  And:  Family of alleged Romney Victim Angry Over Exploitation of Story   ”Betsy Lauber, one of John Lauber’s three sisters, spoke with ABC News Tuesday night regarding the accuracy of the story: “The family of John Lauber is releasing a statement saying the portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda. There will be no more comments from the family,” she said.”

Does anyone not think this was a concerted effort on behalf of the lamestream WaPo and the Obama administration?  Yet just like the so-called “War on Women” and “Doggate,” it’s blown up in their faces.  Keep it up, fools!  

324,000 Women Dropped Out Of Labor Force In The Last Two Months  ”This year (in both January and April), only 57.6 percent of the women in the civilian non-institutional population were in the labor force. That is the lowest rate of labor force participation by American women since April 1993, according to historical data maintained by BLS.”  Hey ladies….still think Barry’s da bomb???????

And ICYMI….Putin Opts Out Of G-8 Summit, Cancels Meeting With Obama   ”Putin claimed he was too busy finalizing cabinet appointments to make the May 18-19 G-8 Summit at Camp David. Yet the Obama administration had moved the gathering to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland from the planned venue in Chicago partly to accommodate Putin.”  LOL!!  So now the Russian president doesn’t respect the American president.  Can you imagine this ever happening with Reagan?  Or Clinton?  Or even Bush?  Barry wanted “space” and Putin gave it to him.

Final Thought:  “I’m the elected sheriff, … I serve the people. I don’t serve the mayor. I don’t serve some politicians.” Joe Arpaio

Hump Day Report: No Guts, Taking All The Glory

"Can I slow jam this? It's cool to be "Preezy of the United Steezy!"

ALOHA, ALL!!!  Have you gotten the message yet that Barack Obama is the hero of the bin Laden raid and that Mitt Romney would have let him go?  Heck, from the way Obama and his minions talk, Romney would have let bin Laden live in the lap of luxury the rest of his life with his myriad wives, kids and adoring slaves.  Romney would probably even negotiate with him…hmmm.  Negotiate with terrorists.  Where have I heard that before?  Anyhow, I’m fed up with Obama using the bin Laden killing as a political tool.  He and his re-election team are claiming that Romney wouldn’t “move heaven and earth” and spend billions of dollars to get bin Laden because he’s only one man.  Obama said he wouldn’t “spike the ball” after bin Laden’s death but he’s doing a Desmond Howard Heisman pose.  Sickening.  Here’s the true story and context  of what Romney said:   Romney in 2007 

Here’s the video from the 2007 debate.  YOU be the judge whether Romney or Obama has a better handle on the situation and how to deal with jihadists:  

Interesting to note that in 2007, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and several others actually agreed with Romney’s assessment.

Then there’s this:  Gutsy Call?  ”The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven – the “timing, operational decision making and control” are all up to McRaven. So the notion that Obama and his team were walking through every stage of the operation is incorrect. The hero here was McRaven, not Obama. And had the mission gone wrong, McRaven surely would have been thrown under the bus.”

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS “PRETEND PRESIDENT” POLITICIZING ISSUES HE SHOULD NOT!  It’s more smoke and mirrors from Obama to distract from the real issues.  ”WECANTWAIT #STILLNOT READY

And guess what, Preezy?  Al Qaeda is far from Defeated  ”With a handful of regimes teetering from the Arab Spring, al Qaeda is pushing into the vacuum and riding a resurgent wave as its affiliates engage in a violent campaign of attacks across the Middle East and North Africa.”

Final Thought:  ”I think, I wouldn’t want to over-concentrate on Bin Laden. He’s one of many, many people who are involved in this global Jihadist effort. He’s by no means the only leader. It’s a very diverse group – Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood and of course different names throughout the world. It’s not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person. It is worth fashioning and executing an effective strategy to defeat global, violent Jihad and I have a plan for doing that.”  Mitt Romney, 2007 – the entire quote

Hump Day Report: Obama’s Medicare Trick

ALOHA, ALL!!  Remember the Democrat’s ads showing Paul Ryan throwing Granny over a cliff?  The implication was that Ryan and Republicans don’t care about old people or those who are vulnerable.  They’d rather throw them off a cliff than promote policies that “help” them.  They want to “end” Medicare so that seniors won’t have the care they have now.  In contrast, the Democrats claim they are all sweetness and light and only have the best interests of the elderly in mind.  Bull feathers.  Check out Obama’s latest slight-of-hand trick to get the senior vote in November:  Obama’s $8.3 Billion Re-Election Slush Fund   ”Not wanting to confront angry voters who’ve seen their health care choice (Medicare Advantage) eliminated by ObamaCare, the administration apparently decided instead to paper over these spending cuts, pumping $8.3 billion back into the program through “bonuses” to Medicare Advantage plans.”  Got that?  Seniors were going to realize just weeks before the election that they didn’t have the option of Medicare Advantage anymore.  So what does Obama do?  He infuses the program with $8.3 billion to tide the program over until after the election.  This guy is despicable.  #WECANTWAIT

UPDATE:  GAO Calls on Obama To Cancel Medicare Bonuses  ”In a blow to the Obama administration on Medicare, government auditors Monday called for the cancellation of a costly bonus program for private health plans that congressional Republicans have criticized as a wasteful political ploy…The bonuses are the costliest demonstration program in Medicare history. They’ll be paid from the Medicare trust fund.”

2024 and 2033 aren’t that far off.  Medicare, Social Security Funds Going, Going, Gone  ”…the trustees from both programs have come out with new numbers, and the state of Social Security and Medicare is even worse than previously reported.”

In Other News:

ICYMI:  The War on Terror Is Over  ”The article itself describes the Obama administration’s new vision of foreign policy, which admits no enemies. Everyone, in this view, is a friend. Islamism, says the Obama administration, is just fine, so long as it does not openly support terrorism.”  Ah yes…a world filled with unicorns and pixie dust,

Does he know something we don’t know?  Marco Rubio Schedules Major Speech on Foreign Policy  ”Rubio, considered to be a top vice presidential pick for likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney, is set to speak Wednesday at The Brookings Institution, a left-leaning think tank in Washington, D.C.”

This is one of the dumbest stories I’ve ever seen.  Does Martin Bashir really think he’s a serious journalist?  Hey Martin – your prejudice is showing.  

This poll has been touted as showing that Republicans are more knowledgeable than Democrats on political issues:  What the Public Knows About the Political Parties  But when I look at it, I’m shocked at how stupid young people are!

Justice for Trayvon?  Mob of Black Adults Beats White Man  ”Owens’ sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. “It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed.” Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using “brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on.”  Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson are mute and hiding in their respective cesspools.

Now THIS is clever!  “Fore” More Years?  ”By donating $18, you can help us put President Obama on a permanent vacation. We cannot afford another round of President Obama’s failed leadership. It’s time to have a president whose idea of being “hands on” doesn’t mean getting a better grip on the golf club.”

Final Thought:  ”But here’s what I would tell people of my generation. I turn 40 this year. There isn’t going to be a Social Security. There isn’t going to be a Medicare when you retire. Forget about what your benefit is going to look like. There isn’t going to be one if we don’t make some reforms to save that program now.”  Marco Rubio

HDR News Alert! Hitler Reacts to “Doggate”

HDR Readers…Special Breaking News!  Der Fuhrer just learned that Barack Obama ate dogs.  He is not happy.  Was there a shortage of arugula?  How about lobster?  As you know, Mitt Romney has now been branded unable to empathize and to be…well…human because the family dog rode on the roof of the car (Gee – I sure remember this happening quite a lot back in the day, but I digress.)  Anyhow, how can someone possibly be fit for public office if he’s done such a thing?  Apparently, eating dog is OK though.  But Hitler is upset.  

Everyone should be required to drive his or her dog around like this!!!!!  In a limo.  Or at least a bullet-proof SUV.  With a personal driver.  And a police escort.  And Secret Service protection.  As David Axelrod wrote, “How loving owners transport their dogs.”  Sure, David.  Can you say “BACKFIRE“??????  How about “EPIC FAIL“?????

Hump Day Report: Primaries, Politics and Promises

ALOHA ALL!!!  Mitt Romney won both the Arizona & Michigan primaries last night.  I was impressed by his victory speech – it was rousing, emotive and inspiring.  Rick Santorum also gave a good concession speech.  HDR Newsflash: Romney, Santorum or Gingrich would be infinitely better than the clown we have playing President now.  #wecantwait  

Another one bites the dust.  Good news from Maine: Olympia Snowe is going to spend more time with her family – Common American Journal  ”I do find it frustrating, however, that an atmosphere of polarization and ‘my way or the highway’ ideologies has become pervasive in campaigns and in our governing institutions.”  Because of Olympia Snowe, we have 0bamacare.  She allowed it to be voted out of committee, saying at the time “Sometimes you just have to be a part of history.”  Good riddance.  UPDATE:  There may be something going on behind the scenes.  BREAKING: Senator Snowe not running for re-election | Pine Tree Politics

What are YOU getting from the Saudis, Chuckie?  Schumer, Who Opposed Keystone XL, Calls for More Saudi Oil  ”This is the same senator who opposed construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which could have worked toward both of Schumer’s ostensible objectives: reduced reliance on Iranian oil, and lower gas prices through an increase in crude supplies.”

More Barry BS – He says he’ll buy a Volt!  This guy is so full of it.  Video: Rare American who can afford to buy Chevy Volt vows to buy one « Hot Air  ”What’s the most over-optimistic part here? O breezily insisting he’ll have a second term as president? O assuming that they’ll still be making Chevy Volts five years from now? Or O thinking that the Secret Service will ever let him drive one? C’mon, champ. You know it’s a fire hazard.”

READ THIS!!  Who did 0bama’s auto bailouts really help?  The Autoworkers Obama Left Behind | FrontPage Magazine  ”As ebullient UAW officials hooted and hollered on Tuesday, Obama smugly attacked Republicans for “anti-worker policies” and their “same old you’re-on-your-own philosophy.” The Delphi workers know better: One union’s government-subsidized, government-manipulated “success story” is the rest of the workforce’s nightmare.”

Hump Day Report: Disneyland, Candy Land, La La Land

ALOHA, ALL!!  Let’s take a trip to all those great places where unicorns sprinkle fancy fairy dust and make us all happy!  After all, that’s where Barry/Barack went yesterday.

Hey Barack 0bama – you’ve just ruined the United States!  Where are you going next?  Obama Says No to Keystone XL, Heads to Disney World  ”Yesterday in Walt Disney World, the land “where dreams come true,” President Barack Obama appeared before Cinderella’s Castle to announce his latest plan to boost jobs in America–an effort to increase tourism to the United States.”  No, this is not a joke.

Yet the lame stream media want to focus on how horrible the GOP candidates are.  Newt Gingrich Blasts John King for Asking Marianne Gingrich Question During CNN Debate  Be sure to watch the video of Gingrich at this link!  Romney on Releasing His Tax Returns: Dems Will Attack Me Because ‘I Have Been Successful

LOL!  Debbie Dimwit Schultz doesn’t even realize she’s been had!  Listen to all the barbs from Kilmeade – his eye-rolling is classic!  And his final comment is perfect. This woman is in permanent La La Land:  

Debbie, I dedicate this song to you.  Candy Land!! (shaka to Sandra for the link):

Hump Day Report: War is Hell, But You Better Be Angels

ALOHA, ALL!!  The demonization and emasculation  of our military continues.  Not only are 0bama’s policies cutting back the military and making us less safe, it looks like even under the most dangerous and trying of circumstances, our soldiers need to be perfect.  They cannot express their frustration or anger at the enemy.  They need to be sensitive and tolerant of cultural differences.  They need to be deferential to the enemy’s needs.  Bull feathers.  We are at war!  The American people seem to think that just because bombs aren’t going off in Dallas, New York and Los Angeles, everything is hunky-dory.  We are at war!  This type of war is unlike any we’ve ever experienced, and make no mistake….it will last all our lifetimes.  So enough of this silly outrage about some soldiers urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban fighters.  We. Are. At. War!!!

Allen West weighs in:  Unless You‘ve Been Shot at by the Taliban ’Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’

So-called “leaders” grovel:  Another Disgraceful Apology Frenzy | FrontPage Magazine  ”Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her “total dismay,” a reaction stronger than her comments about the Egyptian military slaughtering Copts. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta phoned the utterly corrupt and duplicitous beneficiary of our power and money, Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai, to assure him that those responsible would be found and punished for such a “deplorable” act.”  Hey Hillary & Leon – see Allen West’s quote above.

Guys like this never get media coverage:  Final Deployment Update: The Endgame in Afghanistan  ”We brought in the New Year around a bonfire—drinking “near beer” (the non-alcoholic version, unfortunately), smoking cigars, and enjoying grilled sausage prepared by our German friends. It was a pleasant evening in the cold Kabul air that I won’t soon forget. I spent a good portion of the evening gazing into the flames, thinking about the year that has been, and what might be in store for 2012. So far, there have been multiple snowfalls in Kabul—making Minnesotans feel right at home.”

What we’re dealing with:  Three Fundamental Mistakes in Dealing with Islam | FrontPage Magazine  ”The Muslim world is a gray zone full of alliances written on sand where every principle can be bent at need, but is dominated by a religion that pretends to be morally absolute. This is an inherent contradiction. And like most moral conflicts it is resolved through self-deception. Our absolute standards have no meaning when applied to the Muslim world. They have moral force, but little practical relevance.”

In Other News – the left uses MLK Day to spew racist tripe.  This is un-freakin’ believable!  Some idiot writer for the New York Times, Lee Seigel, wrote the Mitt Romney is “the whitest white man to run for president in recent memory.”    Can you imagine if someone had written that 0bama is the blackest black man to run for president?  John McWhorter: A New York Times Op-Ed That Would Have Appalled Martin Luther King  Then the chair of the Democrat party in South Carolina claimed it was “racially insensitive” for the GOP to have their debate on MLK day:  Romney, GOP attacked for MLK Day debate | Campaign 2012   So let’s see…..it’s OK to bash whites on MLK day and people shouldn’t debate.  The left is really grasping at straws to win this election.

Hump Day Report: Obama’s Tyranny

ALOHA, ALL!!  Will Congress halt 0bama’s incessant power grab?  He has thumbed his nose at the Constitution so many times it’s difficult to keep track.  Then again, that’s part of the plan – overwhelm the system.  What 0bama is doing with his unconstitutional actions is similar to the old adage:  tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.  0bama claims he needs to do these things because of the “do-nothing” Congress.  In reality, he is ruling by fiat.  The Heritage Foundation has put together a current list of all the ways 0bama and his administration have acted outside their scope of powers.  The four appointments last week were flat-out illegal:   Obama’s Arrogant Authoritarianism  Begging the question:  What are you gonna do about it, Congress?

Don’t believe the media hype – Romney won big.  Dem Spin: Romney Won Big in NH, But ‘Fell Far Short of Meeting Expectations’  Getting 40% of the vote in a 6-way race is a big win.  Debbie “The Doofus” Wasserman Schultz claims:  ”[T]he premise of his candidacy is unraveling,” Schultz said, adding that Romney leaves New Hampshire “wounded by a series of episodes that made it clear to voters – both in New Hampshire and for those watching across the country – that he is completely out of touch with the concerns of America’s working and middle-class families.”  Really, Debbie?  Of course, you do know first-hand what “out-of-touch” means.

To wit:  Michelle Malkin » Femme-a-gogue Debbie Wasserman Schultz smears Tea Party, exploits Tucson massacre anniversary  ”After a year of unhinged Tea Party-bashing and false accusations from New Tone Democrats, the DNC and DWS have done nothing to tone down their own poisonous, hypocritical vitriol.”

He’s nipping at something.  Ron Paul claims he’s closing in on Romney…he’s “nipping at his heels.”  OK, let’s get this straight:  If Paul could come close anywhere it’s New Hampshire.  He got 23%.  South Carolina?  Not so much, dear doctor.  Everywhere else?  Dream on Paulists.  Ron Paul To Everyone But Mitt: Drop Out   However, I agree with Sarah Palin that the GOP should not dismiss Paul’s support nor his followers (read the comments at the link – holy moly!  These people are like rabid dogs.)  But Paul needs to go away…maybe run off with Debbie Doofus.

The gift that keeps on giving.  Look who’s smiling at Gingrich and Perry – Fresh Ink Fresh Ink  ”…having the Republicans eat their own actually makes the Bain story more potent than we ever could because it instantly validates it as a line of attack and falls on independent ears as a matter of legitimate debate, not as a partisan line of attack,” one of the strategists told TPM.”

UPDATE:  EPA case at Supreme Court.  Supreme Court Justices ‘Blast’ EPA for Telling Idaho Couple They Can’t Build on ‘Protected Wetlands’   “Because of the administrative compliance order, you’re really never going to be put to the test, because most land owners aren’t going to say, ‘I’m going to risk the $37,000 a day,” Roberts said. “All EPA has to do is make whatever finding it wants, and realize that in 99 percent of the cases, it’s never going to be put to the test.”

ICYMI:

U.S. debt is now equal to economy – Common American Journal  The soaring national debt has reached a symbolic tipping point: It’s now as big as the entire U.S. economy.

U.S. Taxpayers Cover Nearly Half the Cost of U.N.’s Global Warming Panel – Common American Journal  A study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the United States funded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations’ authority on alleged man-made global warming, with $31.1 million since 2001, nearly half of the panel’s annual budget.

Hump Day Report: The Lonely Life of Barack Obama

ALOHA, ALL!  So here we are in 2012….FINALLY!  I only made one resolution for this year, and that is to do all I can to get Barack 0bama out of the White House.  He left Hawaii Monday and isn’t’ wasting any time getting back to work – campaigning:  Obama Returns to Campaign Trail After Hawaii Vacation: Next Stop, Ohio   We don’t need a perpetual campaigner  - we need a leader in the White House.

He vants to be alone.   I’m sure the NYT thought this piece would be another of their complimentary diatribes about Barry, but it’s had the opposite effect.  Do we really want a President who “keeps Congress and official Washington at arm’s length”? NYT: Obama’s kind of a White House recluse « Hot Air  He’d rather campaign with TOTUS as his BFF, speaking in front of all his adoring fans than do his real job.  Hubby wrote the following letter to the Star Advertiser about the story, but (surprise!) they didn’t publish it.  Probably didn’t want to upset Barry while he was on vacation here.  After all, he needed to golf, work out and eat shave ice:

With regard to your front page report (12/29) of President Obama’s isolation in office: A business for which I consult once hired a highly-touted “relationship manager” to lead its sales team. We soon learned that he didn’t like the salesmen and product managers and was overtly avoiding them. Such similar attitudes and hermit-like behavior may help explain President Obama’s inability to lead Congress. In our case, sales foundered until the bosses replaced this individual with someone who was a better fit for the job.

It was a barn burner in Iowa last night!  Truly, the “winner” was Rick Santorum….but if you go by the caucus votes, it was Mitt Romney (by 8 votes over Santorum.)  Holy Moly!!!  And the tie goes to… Rick Santorum The Loft  BREAKING NEWS:  Bachmann quits race, says she’ll fight for issues 

Did you happen to see the Rose Parade Monday?  The OWS crowd had a float.  Yep, those fine, upstanding citizens who camp out, litter, defecate and hate were allowed to participate.  And what did they choose for their float?  Check this out:  American Power: ‘Occupy’ Crashes Rose Parade: Attacks ‘Corporate Greed’ With 70-Foot Nazi-Era Octopus Depicting Global Jewish Conspiracy  Here’s video of the lovely squatters marching in the parade:  

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm….now kids are singing the praises of OWS in school:   Third Grade Students at Albermale School in Virginia Write Occupy Wall Street Song 

Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength (or “PMFFS” – not really, just made up the acronym) ”Recently in Washington DC a group of self-described “rich” and “one percenter” political activists gathered to ask Congress to raise their taxes. The call themselves the Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength. The idea is that they believe they’re under taxed, and want the government to take more from them to fund the government.

So the folks at the Daily Caller talked to some of the “activists” and asked them if they’d be willing to make a donation to the US Treasury on the spot. And, showing what utter hypocrites they are, they refused. Because it’s not about them paying more. It’s about the government forcing other people to pay more.”Say Anything » Patriotic Millionaires For Higher Taxes Turn Out Not To Be So Patriotic After All » Say Anything

This video is a riot!  

Hey….look who’s the EPA’s financial advisor!  MF Global Chief   ”Even as he finds himself the public face of a bankruptcy and admitted to lawmakers that he had no idea how client funds disappeared, Congress and the administration have voiced no public concern about Mr. Abelow’s role advising the $8.6 billion government agency on its finances.”  Well gee – isn’t that special?

I like this analogy from HDR reader Don:

Here’s another way to look at the Debt Ceiling – Let’s say, You come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood….and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.  What do you think you should do?

2. Pump out the sewage
