Interesting article from USA Today regarding the appointments Obama has made for various positions and how many of them gave him some serious coin while he was a candidate. I thought Barry was stoping this Washington as usual stuff? Sounded good at the time:

I am consistently in awe of how horrible the unemployment rate is and how off this current administration has been in their ability to do anything about it. Why is there not a huge uproar about this. Remember President-elect Obama’s confidence regarding this issue:

How about the reality now 10 months later?

A note about the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). In order to Free The Elephant in 2012 we have to awaken America starting on a local level and I mean by starting small. For the first time in my life I became involved in school board elections and town board elections. How was I involved? I went to one coffee get together and put a sign in my yard and asked some of my neighbors who they were voting for and why? I engaged them. No big commitment, but if we can eliminate the Libs from these positions of power it can become a domino effect. These local candidates were not running as Republicans or Dems, but they had a core set of values and common sense that reflect many of my conservative beliefs. Now, the NRCC is certainly focusing on bigger races than school boards, but I think you get my point.

Sorry, W wore us out! We will be back in 2012 when a Republican is back in office.

Can anyone answer that? Anyway, got a big kick out of Hillary’s interview on CBS News with Katie Couric a couple of days ago. First of all, welcome back Hillary! Are you not so psyched that you took this job? Other than falling and breaking a bone in an ‘unfortunate accident’ (see Vince Foster) you really have not gotten much exposure or done much, eh? Regardless, happy to see her actually answering some questions instead of having Barry and Mr. Vice President doing her work for her.
Regarding the interview, I really liked how Couric referred to McChrystal as one of Barry’s ‘advisors’ Ya, he has the same amount of say that Raum does on what is going on in the big Afghan, come on! Also, really got a kick out of this exchange:

Couric: Let me ask you a couple of questions about the situation there. Do you think the situation is deteriorating in Afghanistan?

Clinton: I think it’s mixed. I think that– certainly– as we’ve now seen, General McChrystal’s– assessment was that it– is deteriorating. That the Taliban have– the momentum. That they are much more aggressive. They are better equipped. They are– moving– more broadly in the country than they had been before. At the same time, I think there are some positive– developments that may not get the attention, because they’re not in the headlines.

A lot has change in Afghanistan in the last eight years. Many more people, particularly children– women, girls, are, you know, back in school. They get health care. There’s a lot of positive developments, the university enrollment, including many, many young women students is up.

Does Hillary’s answer sound familiar? It was the same answer that every freaking member of W’s ‘advisors’ said about Iraq. The. Same. Why did Couric not pounce on this? I think you know why.

Free The Elephant 2012

I do not get this at all. Here are 10 questions I have regarding Barry’s trip to Denmark:

1. Who is paying for this?
2. How many of Barry’s Chicago donors have the potential to benefit financially if the Olympics are awarded to Chicago?
3. Is he The President of The United States or the President of Chicago?
4. Would he help another city out like this, Grand Rapids for example, if they were trying to win some business overseas?
5. Who the F cares about the Olympics anymore?
6. Are there not some more pressing issues going on in the world for Barry to be concerned about?
7. Does anyone in Denmark know who the hell Oprah is?
8. Has anyone in Denmark ever seen 3 black people in the same room?
9. Can’t Oprah just buy the country and make them award Chicago the Olympics?
10. Why didn’t he bring Nancy with him so she can use her charm to close this deal?
