Checking off the Boxes - Legalize Marijuana Next - Youth Vote Check

"It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics, dope and all that crap. It's a thousand times better than whiskey. It's an assistant, a friend." - Louis Armstrong 2001 The Space Odyssey Marijuana March May 5, 2001 New Orleans (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Secret report: Catch and release for low-priority illegals proposed - Washington Times

This President will do anything to get re-elected. He is shameless. He doesn't even try to disguise his tactics any longer. Desperate times call for desperate measures. This stunt should take care of the Latino vote for now.  Check that box off. Move on to the youth vote.

Marijuana here we come! Yep, he is going to instruct our law enforcement officials to not enforce our drug laws so he can get re-elected. He will probably hold this in his pocket until September or even better save it for an October surprise.

Bill Clinton Is Smart - Let's Take His Advice

Bill Clinton's words could haunt Obama today:

Bill Clinton is widely regarded as the greatest politician of our times. This Rhodes Scholar from Arkansas is still seen as the leader of the Democrat party. When he speaks, people listen; especially liberal journalists. So, let's take him at his word.

 In September 2010, Clinton told his Cuyahoga Community College audience in Cleveland that Democrats deserved two more years to fix the nation's economy.


"The Democrats are saying something like this: 'We found a big hole that we did not dig. We didn't get it filled in 21 months, but at least we quit digging,'" Clinton said at the time. "'Give us two more years. If it doesn't work, vote us out.'"

Okay. I agree. Will do.

Hey David remember this? This is when he was talking truth to power.

Well, just because he said it, doesn't mean he

 really meant it. And anyway, Obama is cool. Right on, right on.

Surely this will be on MSNBC tonight.

 

NYC Health Panel Should Ban Restaurants & Bars

Health panel talks about wider food ban - New York News | New York Breaking News | NYC Headlines

This panel is a bunch of chickens. They should quit nibbling around the edges and just ban all restaurants and bars in New York. If they really want to prevent obesity, just do it!


The good mayor knows damn good and well that all those high priced steak houses are just killing people. Have you ever heard any nutritionist espouse the benefits contained in a bottle of gin? Certainly the city can do without the jobs and tax revenues for the good of the waistlines of New Yorkers. If you are going to stand on principle, stand on it don't just dance around the edges.

Come on Mayor Bloomberg, show some cajones!

Maybe he needs one more term.

Recusal, Are You Kidding?

English: Elena Kagan, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Holder Refuses to Provide Testimony on Kagan’s Involvement in Obamacare | CNSNews.com

Again, this "Justice" Department and the Obama Administration are laughing in the face of any oversight from any source. Shame on the Republicans for not throwing an absolute hissy fit over the Obama Administration's continued abuse of executive power. The lesson Republicans need to take away from this disaster is that if you appoint a willing and controllable Attorney General, there is no limit to Presidential power. Remember that in the future.

When the Obama Administration decided that bond holder's interests would be vacated and their "property" was handed over to the unions in violation of every standard and contract law this country operates under, I knew that the Republicans wouldn't rest until this was reversed. But, not a whimper. Very disappointing. Unfortunately, it continues. Justice Kagan should have recused herself from this matter.

Elena Kagan will always be remembered for one thing in history. She was appointed to the Supreme Court to prevent Obamacare from being overturned by the Supreme Court.  She understands her job.

If Republicans Are Smart They Don't Touch This

FEC: Campaigns can raise money via text message - Dave Levinthal - POLITICO.com:

If you were trying to find a way to aggravate people, this would be it. Call people who don't want you to call them on their cell phones, which costs them money, and beg for more money for your favorite politicians. Really?

Republicans, be smart and resist this evil temptation.  It will benefit you many times over to be the party who does not abuse the personal space of your constituents.

As quoted in Politico.com

The Federal Election Commission on Monday night unanimously voted to allow Americans to make political donations via text message, making Androids, iPhones and BlackBerrys the newest weapon in the battle to raise unprecedented amounts of money.


Both parties, as well as campaign finance reform advocates, say the move will allow Americans of modest means to play a greater role in a democratic process dominated this election cycle by billionaires and multimillionaires and political organizations such as super PACs that may raise and spend money without restriction.

Just a friendly, but smart suggestion.
