Such a simple man like the common folk unlike that Romney guy and his lavish life style!!
Report: Obama Flies Special Barber To WH Every Two Weeks
Reports have surfaced that President Barack Obama is very loyal to his barber. The President is a man of the common people, the report tells its listeners. He hangs out with regular folks, like his barber for example. The President has been using the same Chicago based barber, who goes by the name Zariff, for the past 17 years. According to German Public Radio, the President flies Zariff from Chicago to DC for a trim every two weeks. The president allegedly personally funds these trips. President Obama obviously also does not care much about the massive carbon footprint his haircuts are leaving on our planet which, we are told, is tipping precariously.
The German NDR reporter says: ‘The barber never says a word about what they discuss. Perhaps that’s also a reason why Obama feels comfortable being around him. Otherwise he would not fly his barber in from Chicago to Washington every ten to 14 days.’
Metro.UK has also previously reported on President Obama frequently flying his Barber of many years to Washington D.C. for a trim.
In these tough times when Americans by the score are struggling with high unemployment, tight budgets, tattered finances and deep worries about the future, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for the President to get a barber from DC?
atta boy Mitt! looks like maybe some of what you threw at Gingrich and Santourum is coming out against Obama!!
Mitt Romney Visits Solyndra Amid Attack on Obama Jobs Record
“The reason for keeping it quiet is because we knew if word got out that Solyndra would do everything in their power and the Obama administration would do everything in their power to stop us from having this news conference,” an aide said in a briefing en route. “But taxpayers made a substantial investment in Solyndra, there are serious questions about what happened at Solyndra, why that investment was selected, what happened to that money.”

Back to deliberations!
Jury Says It Can Reach Verdict on Only One Count of John Edwards Indictment
A federal judge told jurors on the John Edwards case they must go back to deliberating, just moments after the jury announced it had reached a verdict on one of six counts but deadlocked on the others.
The courtroom was briefly thrown into confusion this afternoon. The parties were called back and told a verdict had been reached, but once in court the foreman informed Judge Catherine Eagles that the panel had only reached a unanimous verdict on Count 3 of the indictment.
That verdict, pertaining to whether Edwards illegally received more than $700,000 in donations from wealthy heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon to cover up an illicit affair and illegitimate child, was never read.
Edwards’ defense team asked the judge to accept the verdict on Count 3 and declare a mistrial on other charges.
The judge took a brief recess to consider the motion. When she returned she told the jury they must continue to work towards a verdict on the other charges.
Ya gotta love the double standard!! When will people get it?? And there are so many on this site that either dont get it or dont want to get it. Makes me laugh!
Fox & Friends Isn’t Alone: Remember When MSNBC Created Its Own Anti-Romney Video?
This week, Fox & Friends’ four-minute video critical of President Obama resulted in outcry about a news channel crossing the line by producing a package uncannily similar to a political ad. Meanwhile in February, MSNBC aired a shorter video critical of Mitt Romney, avoiding backlash for doing so.
As co-host Gretchen Carlson said, the Fox video was intended to be a look at whether the president’s record in his first term lived up to the promises hope and change. Complete with ominous music, the video juxtaposed 2008 optimism with today’s harsh realities. Bill Shine, EVP of Fox News, even responded, saying the package was “created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network.”
Over at The Atlantic, John Hudson highlights a similar video created by MSNBC in February that was relatively overlooked. The “slickly-produced hit piece,” entitled “Mitt: Better Off Mute,” aired on Hardball with Chris Matthews (as well as on his Sunday morning talk show, The Chris Matthews Show).

the best thing that could happen is if GW just hauled off and punched Obama right square in his lie hole! And when he was done have ole GW look down on him and say “Yep, now THAT’S my fault!”
=======================
Bush doesn’t have knockout power. The more likely scenario is Obama pulling guard and winning by armbar shortly thereafter.
Bush will only start a fight with someone if he can somebody else’s son or daughter to do the fighting on his behalf.

Fisker’s Sold Over 1,000 Karmas this Year
Auto World
“Fisker recently issued its first business update for 2012, claiming that it has generated over $100 million in revenue thanks to selling over 1,000 Karmas in the first four months of 2012.
Whether or not that is really enough to keep Fisker afloat will probably remain a mystery to us.”
Good job !
“Certainly looks wary of the Muslim here.”
That picture should be embossed on America’s tombstone.

You will not see this on the ‘Ed Show’ the voice of the WI Unions…
The Big Numbers

County and Municipal Employees chapter that represents Wisconsin

NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s Actual Defense of Large Drink Ban: ‘We’re Simply Forcing You to Understand’
And then he said this: “We’re not taking away anybody’s right to do things, we’re simply forcing you to understand that you have to make the conscious decision to go from one cup to another cup.”
“It’s not perfect, it’s not the only answer, it’s not the only cause of people being overweight – but we’ve got to do something,” he added. “We have an obligation to warn you when things are not good for your health.”
Dear Mayor Bloomberg, “BITE ME”!!!
@Rats
On my way to Wed dude, someone changed the sign and I went back to last month
Sorry Joey,
Looks like Republicans will not be able to celebrate over a mans personal life drama.
The GOP/controlled voted again on a twisted form of attacking women’s rights. “sex selection” wtf??
This makes over 20 different bills they have sent to the floor waging a war on women.
Where are the jobs?????????????
Not one bill from the Republicans.
PS speaking of 20, 20 Democrats voted on this crap as well.
It’s imaginary nonsense made up Conservative biblical thugs. Jobs? Jobs? Jobs?
