John Boehner Hates Football

Thanks to John Boehner's request of Obama to reschedule his speech on jobs and the economy, President Obama will now deliver his speech just before (and probably during) the NFL Opener.

I know how you feel John.

Reason? Boehner didn't want the President's speech to upstage the Republican presidential debate. First Sarah Palin and now this?!

I'm glad the Republicans continue to ruin America out of the sake of discrediting the Dems and that the Democrats, in this case President Obama, are satisfied with bending over backwards to accomodate them.

Both parties are at fault here.

With the economy in the crapper and the unemployment rate high, the one thing Americans have to hang on to are is their favorite sports team. (Unless you are a Minnesota sports fan, teams let you down less frequently than the government.)
I guess we won't have to see our hate rivals, the Green Bay Packers play the team that beat Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings to go on to the Super Bowl in 2009, the New Orleans Saints.

Word is that the White House is aware of the conflict and is speaking with the NFL to try to resolve the issue.

The President's speech is set to start a half hour earlier than the Packers Saints game.

Well Played Bachmann, Well Played

In the words of Michele Bachmann, "I will not vote yes"... to Michele Bachmann. Yes, I am from Minnesota and would like to see the midwest better represented in the White House, but not this way. NOT THIS WAY.

Bachmann, who only days ago was dubbed "the Queen of Rage" by some magazine or another (I think Newsweek?) is now trying to show the American public the softer side of Michele. Mary Canfield, a centenarian (a person who is 100 years or older) was in the presence of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann at the Black hawk County Republicans Lincold Day Dinner on Sunday.

Bachmann gave Canfield two things to show the greatest respect to Canfield: one, the title of "oldest Republican mother" and, two, "the biggest, fattest, deepest" apple pie money could buy.

What... generous gifts.

That is just what I want when I am 100 years old. A title pointing out that, not only am I 100 years old, but I am the oldest around implying I'll probably drop dead soon. Heck, give me a sash too and let's make it really obvious. Love it. Additionally, you better buy me a pie. Nothing says "I appreciate your vote" like a good old fashioned store bought pie. You know what they say... its the thought that counts. Quick thinking, Bachmann, on stopping at Cub Foods. Its thinking like that that'll land you square in the oval office you critical thinker, you.

I guess I can understand. The older generation hates sitting down and actually having a conversation. Trust me, my Grandpa hates when I come home just to see him and just to talk to him about my life and watch the Twins game. He would much more prefer I walked in the door with a pie or a playstation or something. Its always better to buy relationships with gifts than to construct them.

Oh you politicians. No wonder we have the debt that we have. Instead of sitting down and actually LISTENING to people, we are off scooping up the best that money can buy and hoping we can purchase our way out of this thing and in to office. Yes, let us continue down the path of buying off Americans so we keep our mouths shut... never mind it being bribery.

Be ashamed of yourselves. I know I am.
