The Breakfast Club - December 2, 2011

Online headline: "Obama Turns To A New Campaign Phrase: 'Change Is' " -- potUS O'Blather's new campaign phrase gives us a great opportunity to 'fill-in-the-blank". CHANGE IS..."necessary, mandatory, inevitable, a blessing, ....

Here's a question for the Mayor for her Town Hall Meeting:
Why do you think you can build and run a profitable high speed passenger railway when AMTRAK has been a horrible tax drain and pretty much unaffordable for the masses, and existing railway companies do not see the profitability of using rail cars for people versus freight which can be more densely packed in cars than humans?

The latest from barackobama.com says that potUS O'Blather is going to bring his wife to the next dinner with the selected few. Does he think he's 'sweetening the pot' so more people will donate for a chance to dine with her?

In a L-E article on the Chamber diversity Carmen Cavezza said, ‘Why don’t we do better than we’re doing?’ ‘Why don’t we have more minority businesses in the chamber?’ ‘Why don’t we have more small businesses in the chamber?’” -- Could be simply the membership pricing structure. The minimum membership pushes $400.00.

Talk about irony, the Occupy Wherever crowd would be the 1% in 99% of the countries that governments actually practice providing all the benefits that the Occupy Wherever protestors want here. Why don't they just move to one of them?

Please take time to read this marvelous testimony to the greatness of an naturalized American citizen and veteran. BTW, he's the father of one of our BCers.:

A "LA Occupy Wherever" dissident claims 'they' will 'occupy' addresses of banks and bankers to protest the banks' 'greedy' methods of causing evictions. Hmmm, let's define 'greedy'. Was it 'greedy' for banks to follow Congressionally mandated regulations, or was it 'greedier' for home buyers to knowingly buy houses their income couldn't support?

Speaking of 'greed', Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are having an employee get-together conference in Chicago at a cost of $640,000.00. Other than it is being held in Chicago for obvious political reasons, is there any other reason that this conference be held at all?
---
A thought probably not considered by the Occupy Wherever crowd: How many banks are going to send human resource teams down to a tent city to recruit new employees?
