THERE HE GOES AGAIN

The President talks about the Chile quake and tsunami potential... reading everything from his script. Can't he occasionally "emote" and show warmth without doing that? I sense there's not much real emotion in his makeup.... except when he's being challenged (like during the healthcare summit).

WHOPPER OF THE DAY

During the "summit" today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said health care reform will nearly instantly create 400,000 jobs! realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/02/25/pelosi_health_reform_will_create_

HEALTH CARE "SUMMIT" FATIGUE

Watching through the morning is driving me nuts. We're discussing on KCBQ 1170AM on the radio show. Professor Obama is consuming lotsof time himself, telling us (and attendees) what he's been saying for a year.... as if it's all new revelation.Ugh.

THE TALIBAN IS DOING WELL

No matter how we pronounce "Tal-ee-bahn", they're recruiting more fighters in the south of Afghanistan. Here's today's Washington Times article by Rowan Scarborough:

GRASPING AT STRAWS

The left works overtime to link the Austin, Texas IRS building terrorist to the "right" (adding the race card, just for good measure) http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/02/19/newsweek-links-stack-right-wing-terror-inexplicably-mentions-racism

OUT THE BACK DOOR

By the trash bags. The President meets with the Dalai Lama, but under the radar (no kidding) in order to avoid offending the Chinese government. Check out his photo: http://www.gettyimages.co.nz/detail/96834730/AFP

MORE LIKELY...

... for inmates on "death row" to die of natural causes (after being supported by taxpayers for years) rather than "The Penalty". Exhibit A: www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ioDBqN2nrrOYzvLId6Lf-1t0wUWQ

BABS IN TROUBLE

Barbara "just call me Senator" Boxer is feeling the heat in the polls:

THERE THEY GO AGAIN

The "ladies" on The View are still spewing about Sarah Palin, Day Five.

WHY IS THIS NOT A BIGGER STORY?

Just today the national news outlets are picking up on this, but slowly: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100209/ap_on_re_us/us_texas_church_fires
Multiple church fires, many labeled arson, are still unsolved mysteries.
Two more fires on Monday night. If this was anything but Christian churches, don't you think the news would be filled with coverage after, oh, fire #1? And a Federal "Church Arson Prevention Act", set up in 1996 to fund investigations and protection has been allowed to lapse, sitting unfunded.

YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP

The hits just keep on coming! So much rich news material... Obama won't go to the opening ceremony of the Olympics, sending Biden instead (maybe BHO feels jinxed after the push for Chicago).. then Janet Napolitano goes for the closing gig (we'll be safer if she's out of the country). Michele Obama says her husband "isn't done yet" and wants to limit what kids eat, Security Advisor Brennan claims criticizing Obama policies helps Al Qaeda and the climate control folks had to skip a press conference due to DC blizzards. Sweet.

BLAMING IT ON THE IMAM

The "Underwear Bomber" is talking more (so we're told) and is helping authorities connect the dots to his Imam, Mr. Awlaki http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7016133.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797093
The radical cleric was in San Diego for a time, "teaching" two of the 9/11 hijackers. Connecting the dots, indeed.

HEAR IT NOW

The Prez speaks in DC about humility, health care, gay rights and more. And "CORPS-men".

OBAMA, MAN OF THE PEOPLE

While he says we need to tighten our belts, and he's not in it for fame or fortune... here's the latest on his net worth: www.mangoboss/obamanetworth.com

MEANWHILE: The Prez talks with Senate Dems about how he's "not in it for fame and fortune":

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO DEPT.

The President today lectured Americans about cutting expenses... while proposing the most bloated red-ink budget in U.S. history. And he took a shot at Las Vegas again. Who writes his material? In other news, California is likely to run out of cash by April 1st. No foolin'.
