From the "suspicions confirmed" department - Online story: ":For customers like Robert Hoffman, the problems with his infotainment system in his brand-new Lincoln started the moment he drove off the dealership lot. * The radio often froze -- if it turned on at all. Voice commands weren't always recognized. The system, called MyLincoln Touch, was never compatible with his iPod. * "I'm paying this car off early so I can get back into a Cadillac," said Hoffman, a Freeport, N.Y., resident. * He may not have much better luck after the switch. * Beset with glitches in their infotainment systems, Ford, Lincoln and Cadillac all were among the worst car brands in terms of automotive reliability, Consumer Reports said Monday at a luncheon hosted by the Automotive Press Association in Detroit." -- Just a few days ago, I lamented about wanting a car sans all the electronic options as those would/could be problems when eventually traded in... this just confirms my point.

From above story: "Cadillac ranked 25th out of 28 car brands in the auto reliability rankings" --Hey we're still on the hook for a chunk of Government Motors... say, has my prophecy come true... maybe GM should just go ahead and change it's name to "00bamaCar" or at least this division as "00bamaCad".

Hmmm, say two gays get married and when they sign up for 00bamaCare, do they get free maternity and birth control included?

Online story: "President Barack Obama plans to campaign for Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Terry McAuliffe on Sunday. * A spokesman for McAuliffe's campaign says Obama will join McAuliffe at a rally in northern Virginia. No additional details were available." -- Michelle, and Hillary & Bill, and now 00-bama himself? Hmmm sounds like the recent poll releases aren't telling the real or complete story of how McAuliffe's lead is. Here's Cuccinelli's donation site:

HuffPost headline: "Obama May Order NSA To Stop Spying On Allies" -- "Allies"? Which ones, the Muslim ones? Of course he may consider the DOJ, IRS GM, SEIU, AFL-CIO, the Teamsters, the DNC and ACORN as the allies he's stop surveillance.

HuffPost headline/story: "West Coast Governors Vow To Combat Climate Change With British Columbia * The governors of Pacific coastal U.S. states and a Canadian province on Monday vowed to collectively combat climate change by coordinating polices that place a price on greenhouse gas pollution and mandating the use of cleaner-burning fuels." -- You know, if I remember my Constitutional history, since when can individual states enter into a 'treaty' with a foreign country? Wonder if they'll appoint Algore as it's Ambassador?

Online story: "The White House says Vice President Joe Biden is heading to the Capitol to have dinner with first-term House Democrats. * House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland organized the event and plans to join the Monday night dinner. * Hoyer's office and the White House wouldn't say which freshman Democrats are attending or the purpose of the dinner." -- "wouldn't say which freshman Obamarats were attending"? This ain't a "dinner", it's metal cage bullying match to keep the ranks in line by intimidation as to their next committee assignments and earmark rankings if they decide to do what's best for America rather than the Judas 00-bama.

---
Online story: "With website woes ongoing, the Obama administration Monday granted a six-week extension until March 31 for Americans to sign up for coverage next year and avoid new tax penalties under the president's health care overhaul law." -- And somehow, mainstream media will applaud Judas 00-bama rather than just say, "Boehner was right".

I tell you what, I really enjoy watching the Ohio State Buckeye Band's YouTube showing of its half time shows. If the Ohio State football team was as good,, it would be the perennial BCS champs.

WTVM9 story: "Officer Brandy Griffin was arrested and charged with battery after allegedly assaulting an employee at the TGI Friday's on Whittlesey Boulevard. Griffin was released from jail Thursday evening * A witness... says a woman in a white hoodie came in from the bar area and walked directly over to the employee * She walked across the dining room specifically to the girl and the girl just kind of turned and leaned a little and then they just got a little bit closer and then the lady with the white hoodie on just swung at her and it just escalated from that point, * She heard the victim tell the manager that she knew the officer – that she had come there to beat her up, and that it was all over another woman." -- "over another woman"? Huh? Please, "say it ain't so, Jo...

Online headline: "Detroit bankruptcy trial veers off course as Gov. Rick Snyder takes stand * opposing lawyers sought to pin him down on what he might do about pensions." -- You know, if I was an employee who had participated in amassing Detroit's $18 BILLION dollar debt accumulation, I wonder if I'd want my name associated with a pension suit.

Secretary Sebelius doesn't understand humor. There's humor that elevates you, and then there's humor that makes you the butt of Saturday Night Live, and when it makes it to SNL, that means the youth of America, which normally has no clue on what's going on in politics, is laughing at you, not with you.

Online headline/story: "SEBELIUS BLAMES REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMACARE SITE TESTING WOES * In an ideal world there would have been a lot more testing. We did not have the luxury of that with a law that said it’s go time on October 1st and frankly a political atmosphere where the majority party at least in the House was determined to stop this any way they possibly could including shutting down the United States government. So it was not an ideal atmosphere." -- Is there absolutely anything in this world that Sebelius actually grasps?

---
The last election was decided by low info voters. Voters who cast there vote based on what they felt was in their best interest, versus what was best for America's future. It's really sad, for the day that America collapses, there won't be anything for the low info voter to receive.

Jay Carney, answering for the Judas 00-bama legacy, said the website 'hasn't operated adequately'. "Hasn't operated adequately"? Hey, from what I've seen, 'adequately' is not the definition of 'failure to launch'.

Looks like 00bamaCare (Double 0 bamaCare.. death panels are licensed to kill) will be diagnosed as "ED"... "Electability Dysfunction".

Online story: "Dr. Michael Minor, pastor of Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church became an Obamacare navigator this year, attempting to get people to enroll in the Obama health insurance exchanges. * Minor explained how he won a major grant – some $317,742 -- from the federal government, despite the fact that his church is small. “I applied for it.” -- Hmmm, this is the best argument I've ever heard for a true separation of church and state.

There are 22 really good candidates to be interviewed as appointees to our Superior Court system. One will replace the retiring Judge Allen, and one will be the initial judge in an additional judgeship/court. I hope each of the appointees will know they were picked because they were the best qualified at this particular time, and not think about the taint Allen suggested.

Ultra low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " Health insurance prices have risen for 30 years; 39 percent in early 2009 alone. Only since the Affordable Care Act have prices leveled off. Republicans know Obamacare will work." -- "prices have leveled off"? Well, this guy has gone from no paid insurance at all indigent care, to no payment involved MedicAid. To him, it has stayed level.

L-E's " Thought for Today": “It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good.” — Margaret Mead, American anthropologist (1901-1978). -- This ought to mess with the minds of Obamarats, RINOs, and mainstream media. You know, once you get involved in negotiating your values, any concession lowers the bar forever. Like dumbing down the learning process in schools, this is the goal of Obamarats.

L-E headline: "Europe mulls sanctions against U.S. over spying" -- Hmmm, I'll believe when I see European countries refuse our foreign policy checks and repay the past ones.

L-E editorial: " More distressing news on the education/ economic front: More than 11,000 students in Georgia’s technical colleges lost their HOPE grants last year when the standards were raised to keep the program solvent. * Worse, more than half of those have not come back, even though modestly improved revenues allowed the state to go back to the old GPA minimum for this year. The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that of 11,471 tech college students who lost the grants last year, almost 6,000 did not graduate or are not enrolled" -- What this really shows is that the HOPE Scholarship criteria did more for keeping too many teachers on the payroll rather than educating students! Whether it be a university or trade school setting, students should be there committed to their individual causes rather than being there just because someone else was paying for it, and it beat looking for a job.

L-E story: " Andrew Young — a diplomat, Atlanta mayor, civil rights leader, pastor and congressman — was blunt in his assessment of the state of the union Monday night at the Jefferson-Jackson Gala in Columbus.
* “People are worried about China; people are worried about India; people are worried about Africa; people are worried about their neighborhoods; and people are worried about their jobs,” Young told the 350 local Democrats at the Columbus Convention & Trade Center. “This is the greatest period of anxiety I have seen in my 81 years. * “I asked to come here tonight,” Young said. “I want to be part of the resurrection of the Democratic party in the state of Georgia.” -- "part of the resurrection"? And Secretary Sebelius, Judas 00-bama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Pric Holder thought they were the only ones being laughed at, and highlitghted on Saturday Night Live.....

L-E's Business Page headlines: " Signed contracts to buy U.S. homes plunge in Sept." * " Merck 3Q net income falls on charges, lower sale" * "FACTORY OUTPUT RISES JUST 0.1 PCT. IN SEPT." * "Apple’s earnings fall despite rising iPhone sales" -- Spin these, Judas 00-bama!

L-E story: " The way we walk is not just the way we walk. * The strolling pace of men and women may give away some clues about our romantic partnerships and friendships, according to a study published Wednesday in the online journal PLOS One. * Men slow their pace for female romantic partners, more so than for women they don’t know. And when they walk with other men, dudes are practically racing, according to the study. * Women, on the other hand, hardly varied their pace for their beau or guy friend, but when walking with each other, they slowed down appreciably." -- "women...when walking with each other, they slowed down appreciably"? Wanna start a pool on when N.O.W. will go ballistic, and Hillary will claim gender-bias, and Michelle will start wearing lacy sleeved garments? Sorry girls, it was a study headed by a woman at the University of Washington... so if anything.. it was probably biased towards women's views.
