Quote of the Day - Joy Behar Edition Part 4

Obama is being bashed for doing the View instead of meeting world leaders. Maybe he'd rather talk to me than Netanyahu. Ever think of that?

Joy Behar on Twitter.

Yes, I did think of that, and it is exactly the problem.  As much as she may not realize this, she isn't all that important in terms of governing.  Bibi kinda is.

Quote of the Day - Joy Behar Edition Part 3

“Let me defend Sarah for 30 seconds,” Behar protested. “The woman has no sex scandal in her dossier, in her arsenal. This is a completely different thing from Sarah Palin. And I want to defend her here.”

Joy Behar on The View.  So I guess wonders never cease.  But, then again what Barbara Walters said was moronic.  Very, very moronic. 

“[A]nthony Weiner, whom I also know, has a problem,” Walters said. “He can be very sarcastic and very sardonic. And you know there are a lot of times you wish he would not say it. He is a good congressman. He has been an effective congressman. If Sarah Palin can still ride around on her bus and be considered as a possible president, this man can override this, stay in congress and just hope there is another scandal that will take him –”

OK, so riding around on a bus is the same thing as sending pictures of penis to young women he says he has never met? 

I would love to hear what she has to say tomorrow now that he admits that he did it.  She wasn't so sure.

“First of all, I have my own theory about why he took that picture, if indeed he did take that picture,” Walters said. “This is my theory – this doesn’t mean that it is right. He is married to this beautiful woman, whom I know, who a lot of us know, who the chief of staff to Hillary Clinton and she travels a lot. And it may be that he took that picture and sent it to his wife to say this is how much I miss you. That’s possible.”

The View on the "Weeper of the House"

The ladies of The View are at it again.  John Boehner is an emotional guy.  I will admit that it does make me a little uncomfortable, but I also like the fact that a man is very emotional about the things he believes in.  Joyless Behar, as usual, goes too far.  She says that he had no empathy, which if you even watch the clip that they show he does have empathy.  He was talking about school children having the opportunities to reach the American Dream. 

I have never met the man, so I can't say what type of person he is.  But, what I can say is that he is someone who worked his way up.  He is a one of 11 children born to parents who didn't have a great deal of money.  He took any job he could find in order to afford college.  One of which was a night janitor, he is no stranger to hard work.  He grew up a democrat from a democrat family.  Once finishing college he started his own business and then saw from himself how government regulation and taxation sucks away the ability to hire and invest.  In just a few short weeks he is going to be two heartbeats away from the presidency.  If that is not something to be emotional about I don't know what is. 

I have heard liberals say this is no different than how Hillary Clinton was treated when she cried before the New Hampshire primary.  If memory serves it wasn't that she got emotional, what many questioned was the authenticity of the emotion that was questioned.  Was she crying because she thought that America would "go backwards" if she didn't win or was she crying because she was watching her own dreams being shattered?  I also seem to remember that she was behind in the polls before that press conference and then ended up winning the primary.  So, obviously people didn't hold it against her, many think that it help soften her image as the ice queen. 

Ingraham's "View" of Whoopi and Joy

I used to enjoy watching The View.  Those days are long since gone.  Now, even though I don't agree with Whoopi on anything politically, for the most part I think that she makes arguments that contain intelligent thought most of the time.  The "not rape, rape" comment on Polanski being a vivid exception.  The comment she made today about Timothy McVeigh being a Christian another.  I, for the life me, can't figure the connection.  McVeigh didn't do the bombing because of Christ.  McVeigh didn't yell God is Great while killing people, terrorists do.  I am sick to death of hearing progressive liberals bringing him up.  There is no connection between the two.  McVeigh was an crazy anti-government man, who happened to be brought up as a Christian.  On 9/11, 3,000 innocent people were murdered in the name of Islam.  These two things are not even remotely related.  Also, the liberal left such as Behar have no problem bashing Christians.  But, heaven forbid, someone make a factual statement that Muslims attacked us on 9/11 and her nose gets all out of joint and they made complete fools out of themselves.  Crazy Liberal Logic. 

Quote of the Day - Joy Behar Edition

You know, she’s only focusing on Delaware. Isn’t she running for the Senate? It’s the United States Senate, Christine, not the Delaware Senate.

Joy Behar on Christine O'Donnell's announcement that she will not be doing anymore national media interviews. 

Does this woman have any understanding of how our government works?  Apparently not. 

The Townhall Plant - But Which Side Planted Her?

The video of the "exhausted" woman at the President's town hall has made it's way around the blogosphere.  The talk is that she was a plant.  Some conservatives are saying she was planted to make the president look sympathetic.  Marc Lamont Hill and Joy Behar, both far left progressives, say that she was planted by the tea party. 


The reality is that in a town hall setting all the questioners are "interviewed" before the president arrives.  They may not tell you what question to ask, but they certainly have an idea of what you are going to say.  Now, I live in the greater DC area.  In many ways we are isolated from the recession.  The unemployment rate is well below the national average.  It is somewhere around 6% the last time I checked. 


But, what exactly did the woman mean?  Was she only talking about economics?  I don't think that was all that she was saying.  The President campaigned on changing the way things are done in Washington.  We have certainly not seen that. 


Sestak being offered some sort of job to get out the race, being one just example.  The democratic response was that this happens "all the time".  Maybe it does, actually I am quite sure that it does happen all the time.  But, the point is that this President promised to change the status quo.  Hope and Change, Hope and Change, that is what we heard for almost two years before the election of Barack Obama.  We have not seen that. 


What we have seen is a congress that pushed through heathcare legislation that the majority of the country was against when it passed and has only grown more unpopular according to the polls.  This was done by hook or by crook.  A shining example was the executive order for tax payer funding of abortion.  Both Sestak and Obama both know full well that isn't worth the paper it is printed on.  It is a big fat lie. 


We have this president continuing the troubling trend of the executive branch consolidating power that the constitution never intended it to have.  Sadly, the congress is complicit in this reckless and dangerous disregard to our founding principles.  We have a president that has put admitted communists into high level positions in the white house.  That is simply appalling, and it should be to every American regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum.  Unless of course you are communist too. 


Was this woman a tea party plant?  Was she is far left plant?  I think that the answer she is neither.  She is a concerned American who is facing the daunting challenge of getting her two daughters a college education in an economy that is uncertain at best.  She is a CEO of a company that is facing government mandated costs that will increase the healthcare costs of that business.  She is woman who is trying to save for retirement.  She is a woman who is seeing that the "American Dream" is getting harder and harder to achieve and that scares her for her two children.  As hard as it may be for Behar and Hill to believe, some have woken up to the fact that Hope & Change was really just Smoke & Mirrors.
