Right!!! Maybe instead of spending their money on this crap and spending another load going to DC people could pay their bills instead of complaining about how bad the economy is.

Nice video, Jake, but I don’t know about that Pepsi logo comment. Given that their new logo is only slightly different than the one they’ve had for years, I’d say that, if anything, Barack took a page out of their marketing playbook. I do agree though that walking through L’Enfant Plaza right about now might make somebody think this way, with how Pepsi has incorporated their logo into the Os of some of PEBO’s famous buzz words.

Jake, you look a little goofy in a baseball cap. Enjoyed the report though.

I want to buy it all! Is there a
government program that will subsidize
my costs? Huh? I voted for Obama twice.
….and for Al Franken three times.

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS MEETS OBAMA IN PRIVATE
“Is there anything more shameful than the man who lacks the courage to be a coward?” Peter Blaunder
CBS News reported that Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John G. Roberts, Jr., would meet in private with impostor president elect, Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro and so forth, on January 14, 2009:
“At the invitation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Mr. Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will pay a protocol visit to the Supreme Court of the United States Wednesday afternoon, the office says….The visit is private; reporters and photographers will not be present.”
I called the media number at the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon. The giddy operator confirmed they expected Obama at any minute!
To say I was floored when I read the news item is an understatement. A ‘ceremonial’ meeting between a president elect and justices of the Supreme Court is somewhat traditional. HOWEVER, in this instance, it’s flat out wrong. Chief Justice Roberts has cases on the docket where Obama is the defendant or is the subject of the litigation. Roberts and the other eight justices have already held two ‘Distribution for Conferences’ on the Donofrio and Wrotnoski cases on Obama’s citizenship ineligibility. They just turned away one of Phil Berg’s cases a few days ago; that one is still in the Third Circuit. Tomorrow is the fourth case; another from Phil Berg.
On Wednesday, Roberts meets with the man at the heart of that case in private. Two days later, he sits down to discuss the case with the other justices after having a closed door meeting with the defendant! There is still the Lightfoot v Bowen case to be heard in conference, January 23, 2009. Again, Chief Justice Roberts will sit in that private meeting to discuss whether the case should go to oral arguments.
Does anyone see major conflict of interest here? How can Chief Justice Roberts meet with Obama behind closed doors under such circumstances? Even if they just chatted up the weather, it is highly inappropriate in my humble opinion. Roberts should have notified Obama that under the circumstances, he would not be able to meet with him, private or with photogs in attendance. There must be zero appearance of any bias or preference when it comes to judges and justices of the Supreme Court.
I hope you’ll tune into my radio show tomorrow night because I’m going to cover some other things about this mess including the swearing in process. I’ll also read my latest letter to James Burrus at the FBI in Washington, DC., and why there must be an investigation into Obama on several fronts – not the least being tampering with his passport records. There’s a real outrage.
The “I’m mad as Hell and I won’t take it anymore.” Well, maybe.

About 900 or more hotel rooms in Washington, DC haven’t been fill for the inauguration Tuesday. It is doesn’t sound too good. The majority of voters did vote for him; now they are mad at him already. The voters don’t know who he is. He stole the election, broke his promise, and lie to the America people. What a waste of foods, concerts, etc… It is waste of our taxpayers’ money.

I don’t hear anyone complaining about the cost like they did when Bush was swore in. Double standards.

HERO—could you please cite the cases where Obama is a defendant? the citizenship lawsuits have been thrown out and are in D.C. recycling bins. they were tossed long before the new year. please list the cases where he (Obama) is a defendant. thanks.

In the video still, Jake, you have a look on your face reminiscent of Ralphie from a Christmas Story wearing his Aunt Edna;s gift.

Think I’ll just wait for the Davey Crockett reissue, thanks.
If Brock were really Elvis, He’d be singing a DIFFERENT tune, and appointing DIFFERENT people.
If nothing else, we can bet Bill Clinton’s mother is rolling over in HER grave …

Shameful not only describes wallstreet but is a perfect word to describe the Pelosi house stimulus plan. Immediate aide requires direct action. You cannot stay warm, feed the hunger or house those put on the street by storm, eviction, forclosure with the garbage expenditures included in this folly. Obama will see how quickly the Independence will turn away if he does not act to rein in his DNC. I sincerely hope that the Senate steps up to adjust the content of this bill.
