Is Random Predictable?

As described in the Daily Caller | KausFiles today and quoted below, another close friend and associate of Barack Obama, maybe his closest friend, was "randomly" selected from a large pool of applicants for a huge government grant. It is amazing how random is defined by this administration.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded a $5.9 million grant to a University of Chicago Medical Center program run by one of President Barack Obama’s closest friends.

Obama’s longtime friend, Eric Whitaker, runs the Urban Health Initiative (UHI), which was founded as a means of connecting low-income patients with health clinics in their own communities.

The UHI was one of only 26 programs — out of 3,000 applications — to receive a slice of the $1 billion in taxpayer money from the executive’s “We Can’t Wait” initiative, which is aimed at spurring job growth via executive action, reported Keith Koffler at White House Dossier.

I wonder how many of the disappointed 2,974 applicants visited the White House, played golf with the President, have flown on Air Force One or bundled large sums of campaign funds on his behalf. This would be a great project for an enterprising reporter to delve into how many of the "random 26" have some connection to the administration? Just curious. Random thought.

It seems that if you are a regular visitor to the White House, a large dollar bundler for the re-election campaign or play golf with the President it boosts your "randomness odds" tremendously.  An amazing number of people close to this President have received grants, loans and other largesse. History will not be kind in this regard.

Priorities - Friends investigated maybe never?

 Fed Officials Seek More Information on JPMorgan Trade - Bloomberg

So, the Feds are all in a hissy fit over JPMorgan Chase loosing company funds in a terrible trading position and are rushing  to investigate. 

Hey Feds, remember MF Global and a fellow named Jon Corzine! He lost the customers money, the company and the whole ball of wax.

Maybe you should prosecute MF Global first!

AOK at DOJ?

Dismissed U.S. attorneys summary (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Let me see if I understand the current situation. The DOJ is suing Texas, Alabama, Arizona, South Carolina and almost every Southern and Border state for attempting to enforce the laws of their state and the laws of the United States of America the DOJ chooses to ignore. 

The DOJ has decided not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act and many Immigration laws. You cannot enter the DOJ, US Congress, board an airplane, or even rent a library book without presenting a picture ID but the DOJ believes it is a racist plot to have voters present a photo ID to vote, which I have been doing for many years. 

Today, DOJ filed suit against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a highly decorated thirty-year law enforcement officer formerly of the Justice Department. All DOJ wants to do is take over management of Sheriff Joe's office. And, now the President has suddenly evolved into a States-Righter, but only for the purposes of covering his newly-evolved fable about gay marriage  appreciated so much in Hollywood fundraising circles. Federalism a la carte?

As of today, the DOJ can't find the time or reason to prosecute former U.S Senator and Governor Corzine for "misplacing" $1.6 Billion of his customer's money. And, Mr. Corzine continues to bundle campaign funds for President Obama. Is it a coincidence that several of the key appointees in the DOJ are from the very firms they are refusing to investigate? And, yes they were all key bundlers as well. 
 
The IRS is harassing the Tea Party organizations while they and the DOJ are ignoring the shenanigans being perpetrated by the tax exempt organizations of the left-o-sphere.

It sure looks fast and furious at the DOJ.

Did AG Holder forget his oath?
