Obama's Burger With Dijon Mustard | Mmm

I heard about Obama's visit to a local hamburger joint in Virginia with good ol' Joe (Joe Biden that is) earlier today as I’m sure everyone did considering how important the media thinks this information is. In any case, I just want to know what restaurant he went to! The whole mustard...grey poupon, Dijon, spicy mustard thing is not a big deal to me. It’s not half as bad as the time he cried out about the high price of Arugula at Whole Foods! What’s the biggie? I guess it is annoying that people think he is so down to earth when evidence supports the contrary. Enough about Obama’s condiment preferences, let’s talk about me! You know, I’ve been craving a really really good burger! Funny or embarrassing, I’ll let you decide but I was on the phone with my best friend having a whole conversation about burgers just yesterday (exciting, I knoww). Mmm...Cheeseburger! Okay I am beyond embarrassed right now but hey, it’s okay to indulge every once in a while. So when I heard this story I could care less about the Dijon mustard, I care about finding out where this burger joint is! I’m not joking. I will let you know how good the burger was after!

On a different note, with as much that’s going on in our country and the world...what is wrong with the media? Why are they focusing on Obama eating a hamburger? Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh, the President eats? I did not know that! Wait, you're telling me he knew how to order? Now you’re just playing games with me. A grown man ordering by himself, and with no assistance...now that is a front page news story for sure!

Last but not least, I’m watching Hannity right now and there’s a segment called the Great American Panel where 3 guests (different views, backgrounds, etc) debate current events. Anyhow, one of the guests today is an actress that I am unfamiliar with. It’s one of those situations where you recognize someone but you’re not sure where and how! Let me just tell you, this lady is going to get her own show somewhere! She’s intelligent, different, spicy, and just gives it to you straight. Her name is Maria Conchita Alonso and I’m telling you, you’re going to hear from her again. I think Rich Lowry (one of the other guests) was just so taken back by her enthusiasm and wit, he was speechless ( and I’m sure he was also strategizing getting her to write a column for the National Review)! I guess it’s refreshing to hear from a celeb that can speak intelligently and unlike other celebs, knows from experience!

What Are The Democrats Doing To Keep America Safe?

Do you feel safer?

House Republican Leader John Boehner released this statement,

The American people are growing increasingly concerned about the Administration’s strategy – or, more precisely, lack of strategy – when it comes to confronting and defeating the terrorist threat. In fact, according to a new Rasmussen poll, only 42 percent of Americans believe we are winning the war on terrorism. That’s a 20 point drop since February – a staggering decline in confidence as the Administration begins its second 100 days.

Obama - "Just Say Non!"

At a time when French President Nicholas Sarkosy is working towards moving France closer to the center (before the financial crisis hit), we have a President who wants us to model the French.

You know...they say he’s intelligent but based on his policies and principles, how is that possible?

Just In: Supreme Court Justice Souter Retiring

There are reports that Supreme Court Justice David Souter plans on retiring at the end of the courts current term. Before you get nervous (as I did before I found out who was retiring), Souter typically votes with the liberals on the court, which means that there will likely not be a shift in the balance of power. We all know that Barack Obama will appoint someone whose views coincide with the far left, I’m just worried that he will choose an activist judge.

(What I’m about to say is not a joke though it may sound like one)
Obama’s criteria to pick a judge? Empathy! I kid you not, this nonsensical answer was given during the campaign (wait isn’t the campaign still going on) as a decisive factor in selecting a judge. I truly do not know whether to laugh because it sounds so ridiculous or cry because this is our new reality thanks to Obama!

There’s also going to be a lot of pressure from different groups pushing Obama to vote for a minority or a female. While I qualify in both of those categories, I’d rather choose people based on their credentials. I don’t think we should discriminate anyone, male or female, black or white, young or old...who cares! I want to know that you’re the most qualified and more importantly, that you will follow the constitution no matter what your personal beliefs are!

By the way, David Souter was appointed by the first President Bush. I’m hoping that Obama will make the same mistake when he makes his appointment. Okay so I can hope but come on…You really think that Barack Obama will accidently misjudge his appointment. Yeah, didn’t think so.

How radical do you think his selection will be? Based on Obama’s views and statements, I bet it’s going to be pretty extreme.

What I Learned From Obama's Press Conference

What I learned tonight from Obama's primetime press conference...

1. Nothing.
2. Nothing.
3. His teleprompter is now in the back instead of the ones he used to have on each side. (He probably should practice more because it was obvious)
4. He talks wayy too much. Smart tactic...the more you talk, the less time for Reporters.
5. The Press must be on the White House payroll because the questions were pointless.

Obama Has Teleprompter Issues...Again

Firstly, if this was President Bush, the media would be all over it! Furthermore, how genuine can one be if one cannot speak without the use of a teleprompter?

Fox Declines Obama's Request To Broadcast Press Conference

Fox network (not Fox News) has decided against broadcasting President Obama's press conference this Wednesday (April 29). Instead the network will stick to its regular schedule, showing an episode of "Lie to Me". (Which just happens to be a show that I enjoy, you should check it out! It’s really really good!)

The President's press conference will mark his first 100 days in office. Fox will alert viewers to turn to Fox News and Fox Business to watch the press conference. The other networks such as NBC, ABC, CBS will all air the address. Fox has its own news outlet so it would make sense for them to turn down the address while ABC and CBS do not. Additionally, NBC was planning on showing a rerun anyway. They also have to think of Chris Matthews, how can he get by without feeling more shivers up and down his leg? (Ew...ugh)

What’s the big deal? If you want to watch it, turn to a different channel. I could understand the importance of this press conference if Obama was announcing critical or useful information. This is his 3rd primetime conference in 100 days (that’s 3 too many). What’s more disturbing is if you count his "Non-State of the Union" address, it will be his 4th primetime interruption. Someone should let this guy know that the campaign is over! Without getting into details, the networks lose money each and every time the president decides to take up the networks time. They lose a lot of money not to mention its sweeps time!Quite honestly, I find his speeches and press conferences unbearable. Not only does he read off the teleprompter, what’s worse, the questions are made available to him in advance. Can it even be considered a press conference? It’s more of a lecture. Instead of a direct, honest answer, he stumbles around in circles for 15 min per question. Not only does he waste our money but now he wants to waste our time! When does this end? It’s completely pointless, I learn nothing and I feel dumber for having watched.

Oh and by the way, for those of you who are going to bash Fox Network, Bush had to reschedule a primetime press conference because networks refused to broadcast it during sweeps. He was even kind enough to set a time limit so the networks would be able to show their programs. It’s funny that AP forgot to mention this. I wonder why?

AP= Always Phony

Lessons For Obama & Administration

The video speaks for itself...

Double Standard Much?

This is good...reallllll good!

Short story shorter or long story shorter (which ever way you would like to put it) a left-wing group called MoveOndotOrg held a contest where people could submit ads attacking President Bush. The video below called "Child's Play" won the contest.
Just take a look at it and let me know why these people aren't up in arms about President Obama's budget which screws my generation and several generations after out of their own hard earned money.
Where are they? Where's the opposition? The double standard is incredible. This begs the question, were they truly against the spending or against whatever President Bush did? I think their silence on our present spending situation answers that question pretty clearly! If they were sincere about being against massive debt and deficits, they would have joined the tea parties that took place on April 15th instead of joining in on attacking the attendees and calling them vulgar and distasteful names. Just another example (of many)...



Watch the video below, Redstate took over the ad and made it (how should I put)...Current!

Stop Spending Our Future...Like NOW!

Just some numbers to make your head spin...(Makes me want to sing "You spin me right round baby, right round...")

Please STOP bankrupting our future!
That is all (for now).
Thanks.

Ain't That The Truth!

I cant think of anything better to say than..."Ain't that the truth" after watching this video.
( please note that all of the clips are from NBC and MSNBC, both left wing channels)

Presidents Press Conference Dullness

I think this whole Power business is getting to President Obama. Was it really necessary to cut into prime time for his press conference which provided not one iota of new information? This wasn’t a pop quiz and he had time to study in order to answer questions appropriately, allowing his answers to be relevant and clear. So I ask you, why didn’t he? I’m not exactly sure what reality shows he cut into (I’m just glad it wasn’t “The Office”) but I’m sure millions of other Americans love those programs. In my opinion, if you’re going to interrupt others schedules, it’s imperative that you have important information to announce. I find it insulting to treat us like ignorant uneducated fools who do not know when we are being driven around in a circle. He didn’t answer one question…not one. There were so many random twists and turns.

Additionally, why didn’t the President call on any of the major newspapers? I think it’s great to give smaller papers the chance to ask questions but isn’t it odd that the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, and the Washington Post were snubbed in order to ask questions from Univision, Ebony, Politico, some blog, etc. Wouldn’t it make sense to have a financial newspaper ask a question considering we are in a recession? No of course not. Only in Obama land do you call on a celebrity and entertainment magazine instead of the WSJ or some other financial newspaper/magazine.

(via Politico)

Obama skipped over the nation's top newspapers. Indeed, there were no questions
from the NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal or USA Today. That might
not sit well with the already insecure newspaper industry.

Finally, the teleprompter was moved after much criticism on his past few appearances.

Obama -- relying on a familiar crutch -- read it off a flat-screen monitor perched at the back of the East Room.
The teleprompter was no help during the question-and-answer session(reporters don't signal their intentions), but Obama was no less careful during that give and take.

Obama On 60 minutes | Awkward Much?

Did the president laugh inappropriately during the CBS 60 minute interview?
I'm not one to say that the President is not allowed to laugh just because the topic is a serious one. That would be ridiculous. But... (of course there is a but...there's always a but) I do think that this is an example of President Obama's view of this economic disaster. He's so calm, cool and collected...yeah maybe too cool! In this specific case, the laugh was completely awkward!

He sees this mess as an opportunity. As his chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel once said, never let a good crisis go to waste. In other words, when times are getting tough and sh-t hits the fan, people get desperate. You are more inclined to say yes to something that you may have not said yes to before. Basically, when you're down you will reach for a hand to help you get up and in this case the government has convinced you that they are your only option to get back up again. Therefore, you will let them do anything that they say will "help" so you can stand back up. They are aware of this, so why fix the economy? Lets let it go further down, blame the previous administration, blame George Bush (you know, no one will ever get tired of that) and pass laws to gain control over every aspect of our country and its people. Whats more important than money to individuals? Power!
So back to this 60 minute interview, do I think it was inappropriate? In this circumstance, yes! Even Steve Kroft paused for a moment and proceeded to ask Obama if he was "Punch-drunk". I just think that the tone was a tad off and people are looking to him for confidence, not humor. Get off Jay Leno, stop worrying about your NCAA picks, get off ESPN, and get serious! This is not a joke. Humor is great but there is a time and a place.

President Obama to Appear on the Tonight Show

President Obama will be a guest on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno this coming Thursday (March 19). It’ll be his first late night talk show interview since being elected President.
Quite honestly, I don’t really think that I can watch it. I respect everyone’s right to an opinion, including my own! I don’t like fakeness (that’s not a word, I know, I know) and can’t stand lies (I’m sure most agree). The difference is, I don’t hide it to be polite, I keep my friends close and all others further away. Anyways, I better stop myself before I get lost in a totally different subject and won’t even remember what I’m talking about (happens frequently).
I cannot watch President Obama because I feel like he’s a fraud. I know this will make some people really angry but that’s okay. It’s just my view.
When I watch him speak (off a teleprompter of course), I feel like its phony bologna and I’m over it!

I judge actions, words are empty otherwise! So far, I’m not digging his actions too much!
