Drudge tells us that Obama went on another softball interview on The YO Show. There he opined about escalating tensions with two of the judges. He is once again leading from behind. He knows about this feud but seems not in the least curious about his administration’s handling of the Benghazi murder of an ambassador and 3 other Americans. He knows that whoever watches or listens to the Yo Show, there may be votes in not taking sides. How pop culture must a President be? Evidently, he must be very steeped in pop culture. This is the same guy who can’t tell hardball interviewer Letterman what the debt is. Thanks, Bill Clinton. Cool isn’t the best qualification for being President. When will this President actually do the real work of a President and get to the bottom of the problem of Benghazi? Maybe after his next Daily Show appearance?

Democrats Advocate Rudeness
Posted by madjillmom on October 13, 2012
Obama couldn’t find any reason to fault Joe Biden’s boorish and rude behavior at the VP Debate. An already arrogant Obama who looks down his nose at all lesser beings thinks it is amusing for a sitting Vice President to be so rude. No excuses, no apologies, it was just Joe being Joe.
I guess this is why Occupy Wall Street was good but Tea Parties were some kind of a horrible mob. No problem with those threatening New Black Panthers at the polls in Philadelphia trying to intimidate voters. No problem with Bill Maher calling Palin the C-word. No problem with Snoop Dog calling Mrs. Romney a bitch. No problem with JayZ’s lyrics. No problem at all with a scarier, coarser, more threatening social discourse that threatens a black actress that supports Romney. Is there no level at which Obama and Biden say “too low”. Don’t think so.

Obama, Limbaugh and the Law Coed
Posted by madjillmom on March 2, 2012
Our dear PresBO made a call to Sandra Fluke today. He did this because she was hurt by Rush Limbaugh. Rush called her a slut and that hurt. Sandra injected herself into the contraceptives fray of her own free will. Turns out she is not just a poor law student, she is 30 years old and an activist on this issue. Pelosi and crew trotted her up to Congress to tell her story of being financially drained having to buy her own contraceptives. Poor baby. Here are some suggestions and questions I have for Sandra.
1. Isn’t there a Planned Parenthood facility nearby where you could procure a prescription for contraceptives at little or no cost? You are 30 years old and a smart law student. Can’t you find the free clinic or Planned Parenthood in your area? I could when I was 17.
2. Some blogs have noted that Target sells the pill for around $10 to $20 per month. Assuming that you could pay that, the yearly cost would be $240 plus one doctors/Planned Parenthood visit per year. Let’s say the appointment cost $100 a year, so the cost of contraception per year is approximately $350. This cost for 3 years of law school is $1050. Not $3000.
3. If you are in a monogamous relationship, don’t you think your partner should assume some of the cost. He is involved in the recreational sex, so shouldn’t he chip in so he doesn’t become a parent before he planned to? So if he pitches in, you are now reducing your costs to $525 over three years.
4. You knew about the policy and were not forced to attend Georgetown Law School. Why didn’t you attend another law school where this was not an issue?
5. Didn’t it feel stupid to get a call from PresBO about your contraceptive needs and desires? I would have been very embarrassed. Maybe PresBO should give me a call about my hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms?
PresBO stepped right up into this. Rush’s comments are somewhat over the edge, but Ms. Fluke is a big girl. Now Rush is challenging an Obama supporting Super PAC to give back the million donated by comedienne Jon Stewart Bill Maher because of the names he has called Sarah Palin.
