In the time of current scandal, I’ve been trolling through old videos of how past presidents dealt with issues engulfing their respective Administrations.
Interestingly, I find Richard Nixon to be the most convincing.. Seriously. What a good actor.. what a terrible president.
Watch and decide if I’m write.. His ‘defense’ of his White House was far better than Reagan’s during Iran Contra, Bush during the leak scandal, and Clinton during Lewinsky.. Far better with worse results..
Ok, I liked STARMAN when I was young.. but I LOVED SUPERFUZZ. The best worst movie, perhaps of all time.
I remember when I first started dating my wife, I made her watch it. Surprisingly she stayed with me and later went on to marry me.
But she never watched it again.
The town is turning on President Obama – and this is very bad news for this White House.
Republicans have waited five years for the moment to put the screws to Obama – and they have one-third of all congressional committees on the case now. Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration.
Reporters across The Associated Press are outraged over the Justice Department’s sweeping seizure of staff phone records — and they say such an intrusion could chill their relationships with confidential sources. In conversations with POLITICO on Tuesday, several AP staffers in Washington, D.C., described feelings of anger and frustration…
Fear and loathing inside the Associated Press…
Just imagine how those pro-Israeli Jewish groups feel, or those people daring to put ‘Patriot’ in their name.. Just imagine how PRO PUBLICA now feels having to admit they were given information that they never should have…
This story hits me hard—and lots of other people in my area. Fires happen every day. But on Mother’s Day, when a mom loses her husband and all of her children, and her sister?? That just does not seem right, or just.. or possible.
But as I reported yesterday on here, it did occur this past Sunday in Pottsville, PA.
Last night on WBRE news, my local NBC affiliate, reporter Joe Holden relayed horrendous information. He reported that the Kelly Brown, the mom who survived the fire because she was simply catching up on laundry, asked firefighters to re-enter the burnt structure in order to find a bracelet that was given to her for Mother’s Day by her children. The volunteer firefighter did just that.. It’s one of those few moments that I cried at local news…
This is a depressing day in Pottsville, PA. Some would call the town depressed already.. anyone who takes a drive through will see a history that once was and a reality of the current that is now there. Economic changes have caused vacancies to be produced everywhere.. a bus station that was meant to be a local attraction is rarely occupied by travelers.. But there are gems and jewels amid the streets there. There are good people, great people.. moral and honest people. And they are coming together in the little city, the home of Yuengling beer.. they are crying together and trying to figure out why together.
I heard a story of a neighbor that heard screaming during the fire, screaming that the person assumes came from the children inside begging for help.
It’s these moments that make me wonder why God didn’t hear those cries.. It’s these moments we all… well.. You can contemplate the rest.
Why is it, that every time we see a story online about overweight people, we are treated to this SAME stock photo of an massive person trying to wedge themselves into a metal chair?
I think I recall seeing this image now for years.
And every time the media gives us a new article or study result on fat people, we get this same picture shoved in our eyes …
If only we could meet this person. And maybe ask how this picture changed their lives, now that everyone on the planet with the internet has been offended by it in some way..
Scandals evolve.
Administrations devolve.
It’s raining over Obama now. And when it rains it pours.
But things can turn quickly.. that’s an is.
And it all matters what ‘is’ means anyway..
But there are important questions waiting to be answered. How many IRS officials knew of the political targeting? Did anyone in the White House?
How did such a huge confiscation and spying on AP reporters occur? This is unprecedented.
Why can’t the Administration simply stop making any references to that video, as we know now it had nothing to do with Benghazi.
If bad things come in threes, I guess the President is at his limit. But in politics, bad things come in multiples of threes. A long hot summer may be starting..
