When Will Obama Crack in Public?

When will Obama crack in public?
By Mychal Massie


At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, "Get used to it" – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to "get a more fuel-efficient car." 

The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington . And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they're spending and living large at taxpayer expense – opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf.

That percentage just barely eked over the halfway mark, with minorities making up 50.4 percent of U.S. births in the 12-month period ending July 2011. But it marks a steady trend -- minorities represented

$540M lottery has states anticipating tax jackpot

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — People queuing up for Mega Millions tickets aren't the only ones salivating over the record $540 million jackpot PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — People queuing up for Mega Millions tickets aren't the only ones salivating over the record $540 million jackpot that could be won Friday — some state governments struggling through lean times know a hometown winner would bring a tax bonanza.
Taxes on a lump-sum payment option to a single winner could mean tens of millions of dollars of badly needed revenue that could go to restore entire social service programs on the chopping block, pay for hundreds of low-income housing units, forestall new taxes or hire more state troopers.

June 28th 2010 - Russian Spy Ring Arrested in U.S.

With Obama recently telling Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, that after he's re-elected he will have more flexibility to cooperate (concerning arms treaties), I was reminded of this 2010 story. Below is a version from CBS that was posted at that time. Notice that the headline of the article combines the warm and friendly notion of "Burger Diplomacy" with "Russian Spy Arrests". Indeed, the arrests of 10 Russian spies isn't mentioned until 57 words into the short article - and then, only after comparing the warm hamburger diplomacy of Obama to the adversarial nature of high level talks during the
