Lie of the Year Award
PolitiFact honored the president with its Lie of the Year award for saying “if you like your healthcare plan you can keep it”.
When Senator Ron Wyden asked National Intelligence Director James Clapper if NSA collected data on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans, Clapper answered, “No.”… “not wittingly”.
Now that we know NSA tracks everyone’s calls, including Angela Merkel’s, Andrea Mitchell asked Clapper why he lied. Clapper complained that Wyden had asked about secret operations in a public forum and that he answered him in the “least untruthful manner”.
The Great Mandela Selfie
I wasn’t that upset by the Great Mandela Memorial Selfie. In fact it was a relief to see the president finally getting along well with others.
World leaders haven’t been so relaxed together since W rubbed down Angela Merkel.
Blame Government
President Obama told Chris Matthews not to blame him for the stumble start of ObamaCare. Blame the government. More specifically, blame outdated big agencies.
But don’t blame outdated big agencies for the web site. It’s up to “private sector velocity“.
Blame Government
The Gipper could have told The Messiah that government isn’t the solution to our problem, it is the problem.
George Will is amused.
Mandela
I heard Vatican analyst John Allen suggest that world moral authority would pass from Nelson Mandela to Pope Francis. If you like your moral authority you can keep your moral authority…
Interesting to consider that two of the world’s most humble guys would also be the most popular.
Humility does have it’s limits, though. While he pope ditched the red shoes, Mandela wore cool shirts to the end
Affordable Care Act not Shovel Ready
Who says the president lacks a steady management style. The Affordable Care Act of the second term looks like the Recovery Act of the first term – not as shovel ready as expected. The solution remains the same. More speeches.
While the front door to the ObamaCare website appears to be fixed the back door is standing wide open.
