Quick Quips – 2/01/10

'The American People Don't Care About Process' -Aren't you glad Nancy Pelosi isn't stalking you?

Barack Attack! Mombama Tackles Obesity - “Is obesity an issue?  Of course.  But as usual this administration has the solution backwards.  The problem cannot be solved from the outside in, i.e. the government and taxpayers dollars.  It must be solved from within.  The reason is simple. At the end of the day, no one –not Michelle Obama or Weight Watchers -- can stop you from eating that donut.  You chose what and how much you eat, unless of course there is a gun to your head, but that can’t be everyone’s excuse.  Remember only you are responsible for donut denial (and the prevention of forest fires).” Read more…

BHO just never stops! WH budget cut to charitable deduction alarms philanthropists and non-profits

WOW! 42% flip-flop! Rubio 49%, Crist 37% in FL GOP Primary for Senate!

BHO - You're Not My Daddy by Nancy Morgan at rightbias.com:
  As I threw off the shackles of parental supervision, I willingly assumed the responsibilities of a grown-up. I got a job, I paid my bills, I planned for the future. I worked hard and focused on being the best I could be. After the requisite 'teachable moments,' I succeeded. I achieved the American dream, on my own. Without any government handouts. Like most Americans….
  Quit campaigning and start leading - and make sure your own house is clean before you start inspecting mine. Most of all, quit with the lies. Most Americans see through them by now and all they do is offend us. Step up to the plate Obama. Stop with the townhalls, public service announcements and staged photo ops. This country needs a leader, not a lecturer. Its time for you to grow up. Please. Read more…

 Less Economic Freedom = Fewer Jobs for Americans! Period!

The Runaway Subsidy Train - 'high-speed' rail won't be much faster than trains in the 1930s. - by Wendell Cox at The WSJ
  The administration is planning on giving Florida $1.25 billion to build a Tampa to Orlando high-speed rail line. The train on that route is expected to hit speeds of 160 mph and to make a trip between the two cities in about 45 minutes.
  This will be helpful if you happen to live in the Orlando Station and have business in the Tampa Station. But most travelers will be better off driving.
  It's about 90 minutes by car, though it can be less depending on your home and destination. Once you factor in the time it would take to travel to the station, park, walk to the platform, and wait for the train to depart and also pick up a rental car on the other end, driving would probably be faster.
  Other rail projects aren't much better. One project involves a line connecting Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash. The administration wants to spend $600 million on the line to shave about 10 minutes off of a three-and-a-half hour trip (which it would do by raising average speeds to 51 mph, from 49 mph)….

Tim Tebow charged with "speaking while Christian" > "The Super Bowl Kerfuffle"

“Please Mr. President, can you move a bit to the side; you are blocking the sun.” 

TARP results: "still driving on the same winding mountain road, but this time in a faster car".

SHAME! Haitian health care two step - feds are dumping the cost onto the States

WOMEN! BHO recognizes that you have finally arrived! His budget proposal panders to women! What won’t this guy do to buy a vote? I guess it’s easier to bribe than to lead!
