This and That

~ In the do as I say category, Mr. Big Heart B. Obama gave a whopping piece of his income to charity, 1%. Romney 15%. How about Loose Lips Biden, 350 bucks.

~ An item inn the Washington Times sends up a red flag:

"Warren Buffet, whom President Obama likes to cite as a fair-minded billionaire while arguing for higher taxes on the wealthy, stands to benefit from the president’s decision to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline permit."

A you scratch my back and I'll scratch yous proposition.

~ Economics 101..... If you want to kill investment push up the cost of doing business by increasing the penalty for making successful investments. By increasing the capital gains tax to thirty percent you will achieve that goal and drive capital out of the country. Good going Barry.

~ Various news sources are reporting the Post Office will lay off more than a quarter million people. The check is in the mail....Hmmmmmmm.

~ Mitch Daniels looked very presidential in delivering the response to the State of the Union.

~ The words of Ronald Reagan rang true last night --- 'the more the plans fails the more the planners plan."

~ Rasmussen says Gingrich leads 35-26 in Florida. That makes tomorrow's debate a very important item on the road to the nomination. This vote shapes up to be a back breaker for Mitt Romney. A loss here where he has led by as much as 15% would mean he will need to wait nearly a month before evening the score. A Gingrich win would affirm the South Carolina results and gave him time to fund rise and organize for the all important next few primaries, especially Super Tuesday.

~ In the "good news" department, Michelle Bachman will run for a fourth term as a congresswoman from Minnesota. Some of us are pleased she will remain in the Republican spotlight.

~ Gabrielle Giffords said goodbye to the House of Representatives today. It is sad not only because Giffords seems to have been an ethical representative and a decent person but because a two bit punk could dictate to a great country who will represent the people. Assassins bullets have changed the course of our government be it Abe Lincoln or Jack Kennedy and others.

The punk who shot Giffords should never see the light of freedom ever, not even for a minute. The only justice for her assassin is execution. There were a number of people killed that day and but for the Grace of God  the congresswoman was spared.

Anything less than death would be a disgrace to justice.

 

C ya tomorrow.
