Some Random Thoughts
Do those who condemn BP CEO Hayward for attending a yacht race also condemn Obama for having a golf game with Joe Biden around the same time? If not, WHY not?
Congress just gave themselves an EXTRA week of vacation this summer. Wouldn’t you love to be able to do that?
Did you know that we’ve had twice as many bank failures this year as we had last year in the same period? In the first half of 2009, there were 45 banks seized that held $20 billion in toxic assets. In the first half of 2010, there were 83 banks seized that held $33 billion in toxic assets.
If Obama actually did tell Senator Kyl that he wouldn’t secure the border because it would remove any reason for Republicans to support “comprehensive” reform, what will his allies in Congress think of him giving voters another reason to oust Democrats in November?
How does passing a Cap & Trade law affect the BP oil spill at all? Using the spill to advance his political agenda is despicable.
Still waiting on any official word from Tim James on the recount and his already-filed election challenge.
Bentley has a poll he commissioned showing he leads Byrne by 16 points in the upcoming runoff. And a previous Rasmussen poll showed Bentley had a better chance to defeat Sparks than did Byrne. Could we be seeing the dawn of Governor Bentley?
In one day we learn both that Rahm Emmanuel will be leaving the administration within the next six months… and that such a claim is BS (in Rahm’s own words). Isn’t instant news wonderful?
Napalitano says they must “monitor the internet” to stop domestic terrorist attacks, but that it isn’t a violation of our freedoms. That’s like saying jumping into a river is a good way to cool down without getting wet.
The Imam building a mosque at ground zero refuses to condemn the terrorist factions of his faith. Should we really allow those who attacked us to build THEIR memorial on the site of the attack?
Obama wants reduced emissions, which he believes his cap & trade bill will accomplish, and is willing to use the oil spill crisis as a way of advancing his unpopular agenda. So much for “new politics,” eh?
Obama has demonized BP to the point where he can extort billions from them and deny their victim-status with a straight face.
Is this logic? Pass a health care reform bill that relies on decreasing medicare reimbursement rates by 21%, then work hard to “fix” the reductions out of existence… and claim that the health care reform bill isn’t costing more than originally projected!
And while Medicare reimbursement rates just dropped by 21%, fewer doctors are accepting Medicare patients. Logical or surprising?
Obama spent $800 billion in stimulus finds, on top of all the TARP and bailout money they spent, but the private sector isn’t recovering. Why should we believe that another $55 or even $100 billion stimulus program would do any better?

Vacations...if you were supposed to be at the office making decisions...then thats where you should be. If there are no decisions to make...why waste vacation time? I don't see a discussion here. Where they vacation...doesn't matter much to me...if it did...how would you declare what's acceptable and what's not? It's like saying it's ok to camp out on some river in Demopolis but its not ok to golf in Orlando?
ReplyDeleteBank failures...to me, it's funny. It should be front page news. Currently, you might notice this in the Wall Street Journal but they don't say anything on ABC News. To me...something ain't right about this type of report this but not that. And the curious thing...where exactly does bank failure end? Could we sustain another twelve months of this?
The border episode with what President Obama said. Well...if he did say it, and I'm not sure he did or did not...then he's basically a liar at his oath of office. He needs to come out and swear he'll do something about the border this week...or Kyl's statement is absolutely truthful. The sad thing...is what else does he not intend to enforce?
Finally....personally....I'd say we need to spend a godzillion dollars on stimulus...free beer, free pecans, free firewood, free wipies, free Chryslers, and free HBO for everyone....and that would take us into recovery. Anything less than that...just won't do the job. Naturally, I have doubts that it's the kind of recovery that we imagine...and all that free beer would lead to free rehab later, in some fashion.
