Jeb Bush weighed in on President Obama. When asked if he thinks the president is a socialist, the former Florida governor didn’t mince words. He said he doesn’t know if he’s a socialist but he is a collectivist. That’s hardly an endorsement.
After a few members of the White House press corps griped about President Obama treating them like puppets, the White House secretly invited members of the White House press corps to its 4th of July shin dig. There was only one catch – they weren’t allowed to report on the event. One pool reporter was allowed in for a very short time, but we still don’t know who attended. But really, the Obama administration isn’t trying to control the press.
Independents are starting to get fed up with hopeandchange. I guess 10% unemployment isn’t what it was cracked up to be.
Leave it to the Democrats to load up a health care bill with pork. Billions for paths, parks and other pork. Any guesses on whose districts will be rewarded with the pork?
Nancy Pelosi’s supporters are claiming Leon Panetta vindicated her by saying the CIA did routinely lie to Congress. But others are saying “not so fast.” They may have wanted to keep the lid on that barrel of worms.
USA Today reports that billions in Porkulus funds are going to districts that voted for Obama, by about a 2 to 1 margin over those that went for McCain. Gee, that’s a coincidence!
Speaking of Porkulus, an additional $18 million of it is being spent on the Recovery.gov website. (See video below.) The firm contracted to work on the website is a big contributer to Steny Hoyer. Just another coincidence, I guess.
