The Emperor has no.... well.. um.. Nevermind...

I want to find it funny, but sadly...it's not... Another day, another large drop in the Stock Market and another Obama Cabinet nominee deciding to drop out... wait... sorry... make the TWO people dropping out... oh, and more bailout proposals to the tune of 400 Billion. Sitting here reading that and suddenly a thought popped into my mind... Where is all this money going to come from?

..and I said a long time ago that I thought all this fawning over how well Obama "speaks" was smoke and mirrors... a myth perpetuated by the people in media who have too much invested see Obama fail now...the ones talking of a "feeling running up their legs" Hell... I can read a speech and slowly but surely the Obama myth of his oratory skills is starting to fall apart... read this article and know that virtually everytime you have seen or heard him speaking, be it a real speech, or an actual answer in a town hall meeting, has been read... not answered off the top of his head. Admittedly the article comes from The Politico, a right leaning website so those of you drinking the now watered down kool aid can take it for what its worth. But I think it telling that Bush was constantly chided for how he spoke, and Obama is constantly lauded. If everytime i spoke in front of people, i could simply read the same bullet points and sound bites, i guarantee I would be impressive.

Jerome, pardon the slight derailing of the teleprompter thread but had a thought today I looked forward to sharing with you...

Just found myself remembering how AMAZINGLY quickly the liberal powers that be uncovered Joe the Plumbers tax issues, even using illegal means. His character is immediately assaulted, he is belittled, and discarded as irrelevant. Fast forward to the promised toughest vetting process ever known in the history of man, and the Obama administration either can't find ways to uncover 4 rather glaring tax cheats before issuing nominations OR they just don't care (which reminds me of the word... Hubris... ;-)

Just thought you might find the comparison in the level of pre-election Joe the Plumber vetting versus post-election ADMINISTRATION vetting an interesting aside.
