Webb Master

The former Senator from Virginia and Viet Nam veteran, Jim Webb, is toying with the idea of running for president in 2016 as the anti-war candidate on the Democrat ticket. I still believe that Hillary won’t run and, if the war against ISIS is going badly by then … almost a certainty, given the fecklessness of our Commander-in-Chief, Obama … Webb might just have a shot at the Democrat nomination. To read a lot of the back-and forth about his possible dovish candidacy … with lots of quotes from him and third parties … see: The Washington Post Article. (You might also note that the Post has already subtly taken sides in this imagined dog-fight.)

But Hillary does have one ardent supporter … Don Imus. The other morning on his Fox Business show he said that, because of the growing ISIS threat, he was going to support Hillary. He added, “if the Clinton's are willing to kill their friends, they certainly would be willing kill those ISIS dudes.”

Ba-da-bing.

Pond Scum

Pond Scum

TV and radio personality, Dom Imus has a favorite slur.  He often calls those people he doesn't like "pond scum."  (If you have ever watched or heard Imus, he likes very few people.)  Recently the price of gasoline in the U.S. is sky-rocketing ... which presents a headwind for Barack Obama's re-election in the fall.  But President Obama is not fazed.  He is now pontificating about turning this sow's ear into a silk purse ... he feels that algae (pond scum) will be America's next source of renewable energy (@ $26 per gallon).  For those who don't understand politics, The Barry's new pronouncement is a way of changing the subject and showing future voters that he "feels their pain" (and shame on Republicans for now licking their lips over high gasoline prices.)

Charles Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and Fox New commentator, has his own mocking assessment of this new energy initiative on Obama's part ... see: Fox News Report.   I anxiously await Don Imus's next assessment of Obama.
