I thought this was a pretty good idea – citizen audit committees:

It is why people buy a pill to “get skinny”, while never changing their life habits, then sue pill makers for “flase promises” Its why people run up a credit card to $25,000 for useless items to be “cool”, yet have no idea how to pay it back, then sue for “unreasonable late fees” It’s why Paris HIlton makes $5M a year. It’s why Colbert is loved.

Apathy in America can be traced to many progressive sources, running rough shot over the country – while not only dumbing down the masses, but filling them with useless accolades of “hope, change, promise, etc.” Which has led to the worst malady of a society: lack of integrity.

People no longer look at themselves in the mirror each day. They don’t have to. Instead, they stare into a fixed self portrait that is beautifully crafted, never needs upkeep and never looks back…

Unlike Bill Clinton who, with all of his bastard childhood baggage, only cared about what people thought of him, Obama cares only about his mission. And, although I admire that sort of self-confidence and focus in a person I wish his mission wasn’t Socialism.

Less than half of adults are familiar enough with Defense Secretary Robert Gates (43%), Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner (41%), and Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke (43%) to have any opinions of them.

And you wonder how a smooth talking con man like Obama could get elected?

The only member of the Cabinet to get clearly favorable marks from the public was the man Obama didn’t originally appoint himself, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. The rest? Hillary does pretty well with a +14 favorability

Huh? If Hillary has +14, how is Gates the only one to get clearly favorable marks?

Also, I don’t even think those numbers are right. From the article, it looks like Hillary is +17 (with Gates +13). Am I missing something?

This culture of victims and affirmative action hacks are about to prove why the people that actually founded and made this nation the once great place it was managed based on qualities of leadership and skills rather than skin color, same sex attraction and pay offs.

Obama got where he is by kissing up. Now he gets to do it on an international level to this nation’s enemies, who aren’t giving him bonus points for black skin.

So, is Hillary gonna resign or hang tough and be humiliated through the full term? If she flutters through the full 4 years, what will she have left to sell? Barry has absorbed her health care issue. It now belongs to him. Is she finished?

No one will notice that we have staffed our brand spanking new star ship with cadets and that in an emergency during war time the only one who can conceivably captain the ship is a tin horn Iowa delinquent and his academy buddies. The audience will love it cause he has such a compelling personal story.

In a sea of ugliness, a “plain jane” looks pretty

Only to the desperate, I hope.

On the other hand, of the few exceptions may be Turbo Tax Timmy…he has the unenviable task of selling Dear Leader’s economic plans steaming pile of shit to the ChiComs. Good luck with that.

Geithner seems to really love it, though. I guess the $750 billion slush fund he has control of makes his job kind of fun.

That’s okay. He’s got all those Czars Kommisars to help fill in the gaps.

More to the point.

For those who haven’t caught on yet, Dear Leader’s Cabinet could easily double as display window dummies.

The real movers and shakers are the Kommisars and working groups Central Committees that are unvetted and beyond the ‘oversight’ powers of the Congress.

The current Cabinet executives are little better than dunking booth clowns; and serve the same purpose. As emotionally satisfying as tossing balls at them may be, they’re not the ones busy deconstructing the Republic and it’s established economic system.

Exhibit A — Brian Deese.

On the other hand, of the few exceptions may be Turbo Tax Timmy…he has the unenviable task of selling Dear Leader’s economic plans steaming pile of shit to the ChiComs. Good luck with that.

“Duhhh, I don like anythin he’s doin, an I don like any of the people he got to help him, but I love him! He’s like totally awesome!”
