Did it seem odd to you that Obama went on the chat-fest "The View" (actually, we could stop right there) and stated that JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon was “one of the smartest bankers we got,” despite the bank losing $2 billion?
Hmmmm....
Well, The Daily Caller has learned that Mr. Obama has a million dollar account at .. JP Morgan.
Ah, NOW we understand!

After wacky Joe Biden upstaged Obama on gay marriage and quite possibly led him into a loser's trap in the election, is it possible that The Boss may yet dump him for Hillary as a running-mate? Enquiring minds want to know ...

In the unlikely event you haven't already figured it out, the pastiche of manipulations and lies that IS the Obama campaign is based on one simple principle in which they devoutly believe: YOU ARE STUPID!

Look for more Democrats throwing hissy-fits over having their convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, now that polling makes clear what observers already knew: Obama's in for a butt-kicking in the Tarheel state.

Are the sham "war on women" allegations Obama aims at Mitt Romney working? Not according to the poll sponsored by lib-media bastions CBS and the NY Times. Obama's lead in women has vanished and the numbers have gone the other way, with 46 percent now backing Romney and 44 percent for Obama.

The U.S. government has no grounds for taking bows over the blocking of the would-be airline bomber who turned out to be an intelligence agent. The whole thing was an operation run by Britain's MI6, with cooperation from Saudi intel. Both are highly annoyed that some idiot in our government blabbed about it, compromising other security operations.
Other nations are also figuring out that it's foolish and self-destructive to let an Obama-led U.S. government in on anything that involves subverting Islamic terrorism.
All done to glorify Obama for yet another victory in which he had no part.

The medical report shows that George Zimmerman, who shot Trayvon Martin, had a broken nose, black eyes and injuries to the back of his head, while Martin had injuries to his knuckles, all of which would appear to substantiate Zimmerman's claim of self-defense. Yet Eric Holder's Justice Department still plans to charge Zimmerman with their all-purpose "hate crime."
This is looking more and more like a race-based lynching.
What have Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, Obama & Co. to say about it?
Or is Obama willing to stand on his observation that, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."?

Thomas Sowell, as usual, is correct when he writes that we already have a race-war going on in this country ...gangs of young black thugs assaulting white people for no reasons other than savagery and racism ... and the media and politicians are trying to keep it covered up.
He's also correct in this ...
"Trying to keep the lid on is understandable. But a lot of pressure can build up under that lid. If and when that pressure leads to an explosion of white backlash, things could be a lot worse than if the truth had come out earlier, and steps taken by both black and white leaders to deal with the hoodlums and with those who inflame them."
And who would predict that, if this savagery continues, there WON'T be a backlash?

Since Senate Democrats continue to evade their legally-required responsibility to enact an annual budget -- and have evaded it for almost three years -- wouldn't a rational country throw the entire lot into prison?

Bernie Marcus is a co-founder of Home Depot. In Investors Business Daily, he writes of what works -- and what doesn't ...
"Since the financial crisis and throughout the sluggish economic recovery, working families and small-business owners have watched as the federal government has engaged in a grand experiment in government-led economic engineering. That experiment has failed.
"Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in America. When small businesses struggle, the entire economy suffers. Rather than encouraging economic growth, policies from Washington are making it difficult for small businesses to grow into bigger businesses.
"The Home Depot is the fastest growing retailer in American history, but it wasn't always big. When we started in 1978, we began with two stores. Going from two to more than 2,000 was not easy. In today's environment, I'm not sure we could have started The Home Depot and survived, much less thrived.
"At the root of this government intrusion is a fundamental distrust of the private sector. President Obama said that the idea that market forces should solve economic problems 'fits well on a bumper sticker. But here's the problem: It doesn't work. It has never worked.'
"Although I retired from The Home Depot several years ago, I'm sure that the more than 300,000 Home Depot Associates would beg to differ. The reality is that the free enterprise system has worked for over 200 years in this country and is the bedrock of the American Dream.

So the Obama regime has been spending your tax money on research to find out why some men can't "get it up." Figures. Those women who demand free birth control need playmates.

One persistent and outrageous Democrat lie: Calling handouts of taxpayer money to political supporters "investments."

Longtime ABC colleague Jim Eason with some advice as you follow the presidential campaign ...
"I recommend all decent people (of whatever party, religion, or persuasion) just IGNORE all political ads ... about anyone ... because LYING is in full play already.
"Here's my suggestion... as Mr. Rodgers has written, there are two basic reasons for voting for anyone (not party, nor promises) first, the candidate's LIFE (what has he or she actually accomplished, what kind of life has been lived, who is this person?) and second, what is the candidate's personal morality (honest, well-behaved, kind, personable?)
"Ignore the entire campaign for President -- tune out the ads and the replies -- look at the candidates, look at their previous lives, investigate their backgrounds.
"And, don't forget the lower offices -- Senate, House, Governor, etc. -- ignore what they SAY, check out who they ARE.
"This might be the LAST election in our country. Vote wrong, and suffer."

Before a choice of college is finalized for a new high school graduate, John Parker's blog at THEBESTOFOURLIVES.COM is must-reading. He knows the academic world and the left-wing bias that permeates it.

Thanks to the several folk who forwarded this quote, purportedly but not confirmed as originating with Kemal Ataturk, the founder of secular Turkey ninety years ago. (The Turkish Republic is now regressing toward government under Muslim sharia law.)
Nevertheless, the quote suggests he solved the wearing of face-covering burqas by Turkish women by decreeing that they could wear whatever dress they wished but all prostitutes, by law, must wear a burqa. Problem solved.

Regarding ads, good and bad, Vivian offers this ...
"The advertising that I can't stand: the AAMCO commercials with all the stupid, noisy people! But I can't turn away from any GEICO ads with the gecko."
But Wanda doesn't like the Geico gecko and would like him squashed.
From Jon ... "The commercial I hate the most? Kate Upton's Carl's Junior commercial."
And yes, those Progressive Insurance commercials are a sales vehicle for an insurance company run by a big supporter of left-wing ... er, PROGRESSIVE ... causes.

Watching re-runs of "Ice Pilots" on the Weather Channel (partly owned by Bain Capital, by the way) last evening made me suddenly realize I've become a graybeard when it comes to flying. I can't help but believe that if you haven't mastered a back-course ADF landing approach under instrument conditions, you're not really a pilot.
It's much the same attitude that leads many of us to believe that if you haven't mastered the manual transmission, you can't really drive a car. So there.

It's gotten this bad since Cumulus took over the ABC Radio properties in San Francisco: KGO and KSFO COMBINED have fewer listeners than KCBS, KQED, KNBR, KMEL or KOIT.
In New York, WABC is in 14th place ... in LA, KABC is 33rd ... WLS in Chicago is 10th ... WBAP in Dallas is 12th ... and ABC's Washington station, WMAL, is in that never-never land where the audience is too small to measure. All were at one time the market leaders. And the destruction of radio continues.

"President Obama's re-election campaign is focusing very hard on Latino voters. That explains President Obama's new campaign slogan: 'If you squint, I kinda look Puerto Rican'."
Jay Leno --
"New predictions claim 42 percent of Americans will be obese by the year 2030. They say the only way to stop that is for the government to step in. Oh yeah, when it comes to trimming the fat and tightening your belt, what better way than the U.S. government?"
