Daily Commentary – Friday, June 14th, 2009 – New Drunk Driving Program in Arizona Targets Late Night Fast Food

• A new program in Puma County, Arizona would put undercover cops in late night drive-through windows to help spot drunk drivers.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department’s new anti-drunken driving campaign — called Operation Would U Like Fries, or Operation WULF — hopes to put undercover deputies inside 24-hour fast-food restaurants to spot impaired drivers placing their orders, said Sgt. Doug Hanna, DUI unit supervisor.

 

If deputies notice someone with any of the classic symptoms of impairment — slurred speech, red or watery eyes, beer breath — they will radio a uniformed deputy stationed just outside, Hanna said.

VP Biden Admits Obama Stimulus Plan a Failure on Meet the Press … “”everyone guessed wrong” on the impact of the stimulus” … Not Everyone Joe

It’s time the Obama Administration stops blaming others and starts taking accountable for their actions. The buck stops with them and no one else. Their socialist spending is making matters worse in the US, not better.

Get used to the back peddling on the numbers folks, 3.5 million jobs saved or created was just lowered to 600,000. $1.3 million per job? Wait until the people making under $250K are taxed to pay for Obama’s socialism.

This morning on “Meet the Press” VP Joe Biden admitted that the Barack Obama stimulus plan was a failure. Biden stated that “everyone guessed wrong;” however that is not the case. Everyone did not get it wrong, the Obama Administration got it wrong. The fact of the matter is that Obama’s minions have kept stating that the stimulus package would create or save 3.5 million jobs. A prediction that was comical on it’s premise. Now Biden is lowering that expectation to 600,000.

Obama and his clan need to get a clue and that not everyone guessed wrong. In a recent Rasmussen poll, 53% Say More Government Spending Hurts the Economy. Also, Americans now trust Republicans more than Democrats on the issue of the economy, 45%–39%. It would seem that the US is rejecting socialism and Obama now owns the economy and has no one to blame, although try he will.

MR. GREGORY:  Right.  But the, but this package was sold on the premise that it would in fact keep unemployment at 8 percent.  It’s exceeded that…

VICE PRES. BIDEN:  No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

MR. GREGORY:  …with the recovery plan.

Another Document Dump in Casey Anthony Case … 1,000 New Pages of Discovery Released in Casey/Caylee Anthony Murder Case

The Orange County State Attorney’s Office released another 1000 new pages of discovery on Friday afternoon in the Casey/Caylee Anthony murder case . The doc dump included documents about Casey Anthony’s employment history and court papers from a civil case brought by a woman, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, with the same name as a baby sitter Anthony accused of kidnapping her daughter.

Copies of depositions taken by lawyers for Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez — who sued Anthony for defamation for saying she abducted 2-year-old Caylee — as well as interviews with Anthony’s parents and brother are among the documents made public Friday.

Also released are employment history papers from Universal Studios, where Anthony claims to have worked as an event planner, and a transcript of an interview with a woman who says she has photos of the area where Caylee’s body was found six months after she vanished last June.

However, with all the information released, Caylee Anthony’s autopsy will not be among the documents released from State Attorney’s Office.

More Global Warming You Can’t Believe In … Chicago Temps Coldest in 50 Years

The Ice Age Cometh …

As Barack Obama continues the legacy of Al “its not easy being Green” Gore with his “cap and trade” plan to reduce carbon emissions to prevent so-called global warming, yet another funny thing has happened on the way to taxing Americans … Chicago, Illinois has experienced the coldest June in 50 years.

The cloudy, chilly and rainy open to June here has been the talk of the town. So far this June is running more than 12 degrees cooler than last year, and the clouds, rain and chilly lake winds have been persistent. The average temperature at O’Hare International Airport through Friday has been only 59.5 degrees: nearly 7 degrees below normal and the coldest since records there began 50 years ago.

The myths of global warming.

However, what is not a myth is the permanent tax that President Barack Obama and Democrats want to give to all Americans, not just the one’s making over $250K, when they implement a “cap and trade” plan to supposedly reduce carbon emissions. The reality is, it’s just more distribution of the wealth.

Obama Change You Can Believe In … Obama Taps More Big Campaign Donors for Ambassadorships

More Change You Can Believe in from Barack Obama … NOT!

Barack Obama ran on the platform of change. Obama ran on the platform that he would reform Washington, DC. He ran on the premise that political favoritism from money, lobbyists and the old way of doing things Inside the Beltway would be a thing of the past. A new era of transparency would begin. What a crock that has been in the first 100+ days. So much for those Obama ethics reform promises that he pandered to the American voters.

On Thursday of this past week, President Obama tapped four big Democratic Party donors for plum ambassadorships in Europe and Latin America while naming six career diplomats to posts in Africa, the Mideast and the Pacific. Barack Obama is just another typical “pay for play” politician. Obama does not represent anything more than a “typical politician.” He just happens to be a socialist typical politician.

Washington lawyer Howard Gutman, who raised more than $500,000 for Obama’s campaign and personally contributed the maximum $4,600 to it, was nominated to be the next U.S. envoy to Belgium, the White House said in a statement.
