"Barackolypse Now"; "Debt Man Walking"..... new names popping up all over.. I think "Debt Man Walking" sums it up pretty good.

That Silver Tongued speech maker in the White House just showed how 'tarnished' potUS O'Blather has become. The DOW dropped 100 points in the first 5 minutes of his opening statement yesterday. Keep him in the closet!
---
When potUS O'Blather's spinmeisters try to 'spin' today's stock market action, it'll look life a whirlpool sucking the wealth down the toilet again.
---
AOL/HuffPost headline: "Obama Speaks, Markets Plunge" -- You know the liberals are restless within when the HuffPost goes after potUS O'Blather.
---
Don't you know Warren Buffet blew a gasket at being quoted by potUS O'Blather as his stock plunged? Reckon Buffet may need to take out a 'cease & desist' order against O'Blather mentioning his name?
---
I want to know the names of any Wall Street brokers who disagreed with the S&P downgrade. I wanna make sure none are investment managers on any fund I have money in.
---
A fellow BCer brought point to bear that it was probably the same committee that felt the last SPLOST of the MCSD could bring in $45 Million dollars annually for 5 years that produced the model that BRAC would bring in 4,000 new students. I iterate...it was probably the same committee that approved the CRCT.

Geithner summed up the potUS O'Blather economic disaster when re asked to stay on, and potUS O'Blather added the exclamation mark when he accepted him back, Geithner is the last member of the original economic team BECAUSE every one else was smart enough to abandon ship before the water was up to their necks!

Compromise between mutual and consenting parties has a lot of merit as both parties can see what they are getting or not getting, BUT political compromises made between politicos interested only in what it will do for their re-election versus what is good for America's future will be the death of us.

Online quote service:"Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known." - Ronald Reagan" -- Even with his vision for the future, POTUS Reagan could not see the 2006 & 2008 elections and the rise of potUS O'Blather and the DUMB&DUMBERat Congressional majorities. potUS O'Blather and the 2008 Congressional electives acted like crooked butchers. They placed their thumbs heavily on the scales, and have inflated the costs on future generations by putting heavy thumbs on the next generations backs (like the super heavy backpacks students carry to-and-from school).
---
Online headline: "John Kerry urges media to ignore the Tea Party" -- I reckon so...even if broadcast with a negative connotation, when the mainstream media airs the T.E.A. Party positions, more and more American independents get to see the T.E.A. Party message.
---
Online headline: "Oil Plunges To Lowest Price Of The Year Following Downgrade " -- Nothing went right for potUS O'Blather yesterday. Even his goal of $5.00 gasoline took a hit.
---
Online news: ""An event like this should change our thinking [about military spending]," Rep. Barney Frank (D - MA) said, blaming the U.S.'s large defense budget for the downgrade on CBS's The Early Show. -- Maybe this regurgitation will be the incentive for Massachusetts voters to recall Frank home from Washington. It amazed, no, stunned me when the Massachusetts voters sent him back after the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac collapse. Well, we can hope, anyway.
---
potUS O'Blather doesn't get it...even after the past few days. The stock drop had nothing to do with his claim that the debate over the debt ceiling upset people on Wall Street. The stock drop happened because the DUMB&DUMBERats refused to address the spending fiasco.
---
After the market drop. potUS O'Blather went to a fund raising dinner. Surely, anyone who gave him re-election money after yesterday should be considered a traitor to our country.
---
L-E story: ""She (Susan Andrews) said that none of the other districts comparable to Muscogee County -- those with 10,000 or more students and with a majority of students on the free lunch program -- met AYP, either." -- A few years ago, bad student performance was claimed to be caused by children not being fed at home, so the free food program was started. Now, blame for the bad scores are being associated with children because they are being fed free. OK MCSD system, which is it?
---
From another L-E 'school' story: "“We don’t have any students this year,” Principal Jeanella Pendleton said. “All of our children are being referred to as scholars and leaders because that is the mind-set we want to establish here. We are a leadership academy.” -- Hmmm, the old, "If you can't identify and solve the problem, rename it, and maybe it'll go away or just not be noticed again for a few years" strategy. Sorta like "ACORN".
---
L-E story: Columbus Council will be asked today to approve spending more than $1.6 million to buy a dilapidated apartment complex at 3551 Victory Drive, adjacent to the old Baker High School site. The 5.6-acre property will be given to the Development Authority for economic development purposes, according to Deputy City Manager David Arrington." -- After checking "the books". it appears the City valued the property at a shade over $800,000.00, and now is willing to pay the owner twice that amount. OK, Council, I want the same deal on my house!
---
The L-E has an online poll going on based on the question: "How badly was your stock portfolio affected on Monday?" The answer choices were A - "I'm in serious trouble", B- "I took a hit, but things could be worse', or 3 - "I don't mess with stocks". There was one answer the L_E should have given us a choice on, "I've fallen and I can't get up".
---
L-E sub-headline: "Interior Secretary Ken Salazar came to Anchorage on Monday and said the Obama administration supports more oil drilling in Alaska, potentially including offshore Arctic development." -- One of two things is happening here: Either potUS O'Blather's Interior Secretary has "gone rogue", or potUS O'Blather is trying to recruit Sarah Palin to replace VEEP Biden-Biden on the 2012 ballot.
---
L-E story: "ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Scientists have identified an orange-colored gunk that appeared along the shore of a remote Alaska village as millions of microscopic eggs filled with fatty droplets. * Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday they don’t know what species the eggs are" -- Hmmm, now 'illegals' are trying to get into our country from our Northern Borders and this administration cannot identify them either.
---
You know, we can almost forgive X-POTUS Clinton for most of his lies because he was trying to cover up his personal indiscretions. potUS O'Blather, on the other hand, lies to distract the truth from his agenda. There's a huge difference.
---
There's a letter in the L-E written by a Phenix City person with a propaganda bias towards debt ceiling raises in the past. The L-E should identify party activists when publishing 'editorial commentary' from them. A simple "google" of the writers name reveals his political donation bias.
---
It's getting to the time of year that Major League Baseball's administration needs to take notice of the contenders. How embarrassing would it be if Detroit has to be shown in playoff series?

Bob Cousy is 83 today. He'll never die in my mind though, as I can still see his court mastery of getting the ball to other Celtics in ways that boggled the mind.
