   I liked Dana Perino’s comment on F&F this morning. SOmeone needs to draw a “family tree” of all of the key players in these “green loans’ and their connection to Obama.

   As she said, it shows there are no coincidences here at all.

   Wonder how much $$’s Michele Norris will step away from, or will the $’s conveniently follow her away from the microphone?… this stinks, as usual….

   Wasn’t there some GOP candidate’s brother’s cousin’s sister-in-law or somethin’ guilty of some charge that occurred in 1985, and recently the LSM decided to drag that person through the mud?? just sayin’.

   C’mon Doug, even I can see that “running his campaign” is nothing like “run his White House”. They’re not even the same verb tense. Probably running the campaign from the coffee shop across the street.

   Turn the White House into a museum. Build a new executive mansion at Andrews A.F.B. or the Naval Observatory.

   In my opinion, DC should entirely be converted into a museum. The working national capital should be in closer proximity to as many citizens as possible, and therefore should be mobile, moving to the mean center of US population every 10 years.

   Keep the government in generic and indistinct portable trailers.

   It deserves no more.

    She can now work full-time producing more of the same ol’ Obama-friendly features.

    Or move over to “Nature” and be in charge of the obligatory alarmist Global Warming meme in EVERY episode.

    After what Bill and Hillary stole from the W.H. when departing, can you imagine what the Obamas and staff will do to the place given their childish and crimminal attitudes? It’ll be a museum alright, with nothing in it but bare walls.

    Maybe just as a meaningful gesture, they should burn it down after the Obamas leave signalling that citizens will no longer put up with corruption from Washington D.C. Burn down the Capitol too. If not, someone please have the decency to take George Washington’s name off of this place.

    Why not hire that guy. Obama still has a Solyndra-linked fundraiser still out there bundling for him:

    Steven Spinner, who remains in the top tier of Obama fundraisers, took part in a conference call in recent weeks devoted to planning the event at the W Hotel. He also has joined other Obama fundraising calls, according to a person familiar with Spinner’s participation who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly.

    His participation is controversial, even among Obama supporters. Some think Spinner should take a reduced role in the campaign given the uproar over Solyndra, but the White House considers it a manufactured controversy being exploited for partisan reasons.

    Solyndra, a now-bankrupt manufacturer of solar cylinders, was a showcase for the White House initiative to develop green energy. The California firm received a $535-million loan guarantee through an Energy Department program that Spinner helped oversee.

    Emails show Spinner pushed for a prompt decision on the Solyndra loan as his wife’s law firm was representing the company. Administration officials said Spinner recused himself from discussions about the loan guarantee and played no role in the decision.

    Doug, Doug, Doug, you totally misinterpreted what he meant. What he meant was they won’t work in the kitchen, as doormen (in fancy uniforms) or clean toilets in the White House. Lawnwork (including Moochelle’s miracle garden) is totally out of the question too but that’s not work IN the White House.

    Personally, I KNEW what he meant. My unanswered question (at the time) was “Did anyone else hear what I heard?”

    In Hindsight, there were more that didn’t hear or apathy overwhelmed the electorate to the point the whole process was preempted by American Idol, Prancing with the Poofters, you name the distraction or they didn’t care to know. Yeah it was a run on sentence, sue me.

    You’re exactly right in that he said what he planned to do—fundamentally change America. Not many people asked “how?”. Many of us inherently knew.

    But beyond that, he’s a liar.

    It’s interesting to note that several lobbyists have publicly stated the campeign finance laws need reform. They are as sick and tired job as we are of having elected officials demand money to do their.

    @Hiraghm – It is interesting to note that the demand for electric voting machines came from the Florida mess, but look at the machines. How many create a printed and punched card the voter can look at to verify their selections and turn in to be counted so a count of the cards can quickly verify the tally from the machines? I don’t think there is one, and I can’t believe that has not been demanded by everyone. It seems like the people running these things don’t want an accurate vote! I can think of no other reason. To me it is unthinkable to leave something so important to a very easy to hack and very simple machine without a paper trail, that even under the best systems the voter never sees to verify. It would be so simple to use computer punch cards for this! Almost everything they need has already been designed many many years ago…..

    Paper trails don’t matter when it comes to elections. Just look at what happened in WA ST in the 2004 Gubenatorial election. It was discovered that at least 1,678 were cast illegally (the D won after two recounts by 133 votes well within the margin of illegal votes cast). The judge decided that he could not overturn or order a new election as the GOP candidate could not prove that the illegal votes benefitted the Dem (remember with secret ballots there is no way to know who the illegal votes went to). That was just one of many problems. Here is a list of more:

    In many counties, more ballots were counted than there are registered voters identified as voting.

    In at least one county, many provisional ballots were placed directly into counting machines on election day rather than being reviewed and validated to ensure that they were cast by eligible voters who did not cast another ballot.

    Illegitimate votes were cast by convicted felons whose civil rights were not restored, deceased persons, and persons other than the registered voter whose ballot was voted.

    Ballots were �enhanced� and altered in a manner that permanently obscures the original mark of the voter, in violation of state law.

    Counties treated voters inconsistently in their decisions whether to count ballots that were incorrectly rejected.

    Inconsistent and changing standards were employed in determining when a ballot was an overvote or and undervote.

    Military and absentee ballots were mailed too late to be received by election day.

    Private information about provisional ballot voters was released, and third parties were allowed to use that private information to procure documents seeking to validate the ballots.

    The Dem team that worked this election was the same team that worked on the Al Franken election.

    Well, that’s a whole different series of problems. How many people were arrested and prosecuted? How many politicians and political appointees do their jobs? How many Attorney Generals prosecute all the laws? Better yet why is there no penalty other than possibly having to step down or not be re-ellected? Because that’s the way the politicians want it. How hard would it be for a president to get his Attorney General to force his policies on the people if he would go to jail for not enforcing the laws Congress passed? When you look at the whole picture, this country is in DEEP SHIFT, and I’m not the only one that wonders if we can recover at all. We are letting the Politicians destroy the country and a lot of people are paying them to do it. I dno’t know about you, But I am really scared for the future of my children.
