Cookies, olympics, news ... and other news

If Obama hadn't supported the US hockey team, they'd have won the gold.

The Girl Scout Cookies are in! The Girl Scout Cookies are in!

Wife is in charge of ordering the ones with chocolate (Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Samoas). I did my part.

Doctor tells Obama that he drinks too much.

I saw a report of a survey that said 26 pct of Americans get news via phone. My first thought? That's scary. My second thought? That I was reading it on my BlackBerry.

Channeling my inner liberal:
  • Bring our troops home from Haiti! 
  • No blood for rubble! 
  • It's a quagmire! 
  • Chile earthquakes are a bigger threat!
Everyone's talked about the Olympics for two weeks. Okay, I'm convinced already! I'll watch. When do they start?

Jake Tapper reported that Robert Gibbs read from a New York Times op-ed during a press briefing. Which proves that the New York Times doesn't just repeat Democrat talking points, they write them.

Obama's TelePrompTer has a mastery of the English language; Obama has a mystery of the English language.

If we don't pass health care, global warming will freeze the planet!!!1!!11!!eleventy!

Democrats explain Americans' opposition to health care proposals

With more and more Americans opposing the Democrats' many versions of a health care bill, the Obama administration and the Congressional leadership are finding it difficult selling their plans to their own party members.

The president is traveling to various cities, looking to build support for his agenda.

We contacted a spokesman for the Democratic party, who told us why Americans haven't embraced the health care bills:

Bipartisanship

This is over the top.

Not saying it's not true, just over the top.

Note to the stomping grounds: Beware socialists bearing gifts

I grew up in southeast Georgia. What growing up I did, at least, occurred over there. I lived there nearly 40 years. And I'll always consider that part of the state "home."

So, I want to warn the good people of that area to beware. Barack Obama is coming.

I didn't grow up in Savannah, but my high school was in the same sports region with most of the Savannah schools. When we watched TV, it was one of the stations in Savannah. So, though Savannah isn't home, it's near there.

The president will be in Savannah Tuesday. According to a Washington Post story, Obama wants to sell his stimulus package.
Obama plans to visit this charming coastal city on Tuesday to lead a day of meetings aimed at highlighting his economic policies and shoring up support for his ambitious but endangered domestic agenda.
I can only assume his TelePrompTer will be there, too. Although it would be funny as hell watching Obama stumble around without it. His TelePrompTer has a mastery of the English language; Obama has a mystery of the English language.

But selling his stimulus in person? Well, considering that Obama has only been on TV ... every day for the past two years ... it's no wonder people haven't heard what he had to say.

It's true that Obama is having trouble selling his plans. Savannah's mayor, Democrat Otis S. Johnson, says, "The speed in which the applications have been approved has really been a little frustrating." And he's an Obama supporter.

Maybe Obama is having trouble because his Obama's spend, spend, spend policy means that the deficit is getting larger, larger, larger. And how will Obama and the Socialists wearing Democratic clothing solve it? Taxes, taxes, taxes.

So, what do you do about it?

I'd suggest to the people of the area that they ignore Obama. Go about your business. Act like he's not even there.

On the other hand, after January 20, 2013, you might not ever see him again. This may be your last chance.

Obama finally picks a winner

It's been a rough several months for the president.

In November, 2009, Obama backed Jon Corzine in his re-election bid in New Jersey.

Jon Corzine, loser

Republican Christopher J. Christie won.

The same night, more bad news for the president.

In the Virginia governor's race, Obama campaigned for Democrat Creigh Deeds.

Creigh Deeds, loser

Republican Robert F. McDonnell was elected.

Of course, the bad news didn't stop with the end of 2009.

Obama campaigned for Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley in the special election to fill a U.S. Senate seat.

Martha Coakley, loser

Of course, Scott Brown, the Republican, won.

Then, after traveling to Las Vegas to campaign for Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader lost 10 points in the latest poll.
Harry Reid, losing

It seems Obama can't pick a winner.

Until this week. At the health care summit, Obama picked one...

Finally! Obama wins! Hail to the chief!
