   It’s more than a welcome change from “incentivize.” I’ve lost count on that one and a few other verbal community-organasms. Where is William Safire when we need him?

   In the meantime, the New York Times has soiled itself with an attempted descent into the grubby world of free enterprise.

   “Is it just me, but is anyone else incensed that a news service — to which we’re already paying an incredible sum —peddled to me today for $150 a 1,200-word oped piece from the president?”

   I wonder how long it will be before the ‘confusion’ about the VA NOT being involved in obamacare will bite these boys in the rear? It is pretty hard to believe that shoving the VA healthcare under the secretary of the treasurer, Geitner, is going be the same. In fact, if it were the same why do it?

   Freddy…..They screw with veterans VA healthcare at their VERY great peril. But I would not put it past them.

   Recently in my local paper on line some moron was commenting on how “Citizens deserve the same health care veterans get” I responded that I found comparing veterans with freeloaders, welfare kings & queens, and illegals was beyond insulting. Vets have actually earned it. And they better not forget it. I have found, through personal experiance, that the VA can indeed be a slow ponderous Govt. agency. But it is not like the DMV or anything else. Go to a VA hospital and you will find that nearly every employee who is directly involved with vets is really caring, from cleaning staff to head administrators. It is when you go outside the clinic and hospital environment that you seem to find the really screwed up ones.

   Here a clip of Obambi mentioning his “muslim faith” to ABC’s George Stephanopolus.

   Did he “misspeak” or inadventently let the truth escape?

    I’ve lost count of the times Obama has said something like this:
    “The ___________(your organization here) is in favor of ______________(plan of the day here).”
    It seems like we find out after these statements that they weren’t for his plan.

    And don’t forget that Michelle Obama “misspoke” when she said “For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” in TWO DIFFERENT SPEECHES GIVEN AT TWO DIFFERENT VENUES AND CAUGHT ON CAMERA BOTH TIMES. I guess she “misspoke” twice while READING FROM HER WRITTEN SPEECH THAT CONTAINED THOSE VERY WORDS.

    “The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.”

    Adam Smith – The Wealth Of Nations, Book IV, Chapter II, p. 456, para. 10.

    Wow! This could rank up there with the infamous Dukakis “oversight”, i.e. when, during his presidential campaign, he forgot to sign up for federal funding for the Boston Harbor cleanup, leaving the surrounding communities to pick up the full tab.

    Naturally, as a good Democrat, he was rewarded with a cushy teaching position at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

    A failure teaching new failures?

    our last dem president had “bimbo eruptions” when he would get caught with his pen in the wrong place. this dem pres “misspoke” when he gets gaught in an out and out lie. if that blue dress had not fallen out from under bill’s secretaries bed, monica would still be a vast right wing conspiracy to smear po ole bill. the same way as if those axelrod emails hadn’t been turned in to fox by citizens who smelled something fishy in getting them, the white house would still be telling us and congrass it was all just an innocent misunderstanding.

    Congress does this all the time. Listen to them around budget time when they start talking about “entitlements”. VA health care and disability compensation is considered by them to be an ENTITLEMENT, the same as some welfare queen getting her monthly check.

    I have heard this for many years, and it is always disgusting.

    This Miss speak is just crap and usually planned. They can do their “propaganda” and then say they misspoke. It is the same when a newspaper puts in a retraction. The damage or gain is already done and the retraction is put back on page( you name it) where no one pays attention. They know their gain was more than they lost when they “misspoke”.

    In a way, I kinda miss Bill Clinton.

    He was so much more artful in his dishonesty; when I learned how to discern a prevarication from an ordinary lie, for example, it was Bubba who schooled me.

    Not so with Hope-a-Dope and his crew. So very clumsy, they have only a fraction of Clinton’s talent for disingenuousness:

    1. The Standard Whopper (e.g., “Nobody making less than $250,000 a year will see their taxes increased”);

    2. The Pirouette Whopper (e.g., “I haven’t raised anyone’s taxes” right after authorizing a massive tax increase on tobacco); and

    3. The Mega-Whopper (e.g., anything following the preparatory phrase, “Now let me be clear…”).

    As long as there are a few people who don’t believe he is pushing socialism he will have to keep misspeaking. When he thinks he is fooling no-one he will be able to stop misspeaking and talk truthfully to the socialists among us.
