It's been a good week in politics.

The first three items come from the same speech, I believe.  Obama gives
three or four a day, so I may be wrong....

1.  Obama tells an audience that a woman who supported him has died of
breast cancer and wants to be buried in an Obama T-shirt ("It's all about
ME, folks!").  Before he gets to the "Obama T-shirt" part,
the POTUS tries
to get choked up, but when the "Obama T-shirt" part comes out of his mouth,
the audience laughs at him.  Three times in two weeks Obama's audience has
laughed at him.

2.  Obama tells an audiece that our deficits (read that, "Bush deficits")
are "unsustainable" then submits a $3.8 trillion budget with a single-year,
$1.9 trillion deficit.  It took this country from George Washington to
Ronald Reagan to accumulate $1 trillion in debt.

3.  Obama tells an audience of the experiences of a Navy corpsman serving in
Haiti.  He tells us of the exploits of CORPSE man Broussard, not one but
twice.  The CORPSE man's name is either Christian or Christopher as Obama
uses the names interchangeably in the telling of his little tale.  He goes
on to mispronounce the Haitian creole word for "United States."  From a man
with little experience and less interest in the military, I can sort of
understand the CORPSE man screw up, but during the campaign didn't Obama
scold Americans for not speaking a foreign language?  Which foreign language
does he speak?

4.  Bob Beckel, who has served democrat politicans dating to Bobby Kennedy,
calls the lovely Hannah Giles a "ho" on the air  Ms. Giles takes exception
to Beckel's characterization and produces a police report in which Beckel
twice solicts the services of a prostitute.  Whoops.

5. During "CORPSE man" Obama's untelevised conference with the democrat
Senate caucus, the laughable Al Franken unloads on the laughable David
Axelrod for the administration's laughable lack of direction, while Nancy
"what do they call black people these days anyway" Pelosi says
that she will
force through some sort of health-care debacle.

6.  US New and World Report is speculating that Obama may dump Joe "what's
the number for that web site" Biden in 2012 and get Mrs. Cigar Willy to run
with him.  USNWR says that such a move will accomplish two things for Obama:
1) It will rid him of the gaffe-a-minute Biden and 2) It will prevent the
Clinton woman from running against him.  But USNWR fails to realize that
with Hillary! on the ticket, Cigar will feel compelled to campaign for the
ticke, and that leads inevitably to the gutter of politics.

7.  Early polls have Patrick Kennedy (D-Uh) losing his House seat in
November.  Ta ta, Camelot!

8.  Take it away, Klan!
