Its Friday Morning, Pulling on the Hip Waders

[Peacetrain]

There you go Morning Joe, Tweety, Billo, Hannity.. grab a microphone and have at it.. especially how the President is not mad enough.

But don't let reality slap you in the face..here are some headlines that you can spend 2 or 3 hours ripping about..

Yeah lets get someone who will rant and scream 24/7 and let the wounded economy, war, etc fester for the next guy to clean up.

That has worked so well before :sarcasm:

being captured.

'Furious' Obama heading to Gulf for spill update

WASHINGTON – Determined to project both command and compassion, President Barack Obama is returning to the Louisiana coast for a fresh reality check on work to stanch the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico and the spiraling effects of the nation's worst environmental disaster. The president underscored the mounting political implications by abruptly canceling plans for a trip to Indonesia and Australia later this month.

4-day school weeks gain popularity across US

Peach County is one of more than 120 school districts across the country where students attend school just four days a week, a cost-saving tactic gaining popularity among cash-strapped districts struggling to make ends meet. The 4,000-student district started shaving a day off its weekly school calendar last year to help fill a $1 million budget shortfall.

Gates: No wider role for military now in oil spill

SINGAPORE – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is rejecting a more forceful role for the military in plugging the Gulf of Mexico oil leak.

Gates says the deep-water disaster is beyond the military's expertise.

Oil company BP is using its own equipment to try to stop the leak — equipment the U.S. military does not have.

1. For Obama to continue to allow offshore drilling and be furious at BP makes me wonder what

are they telling him?

2. Freakin' Joe

You know, I basically wake up these days, put on the Weather Channel, then turn on MJ for about a minute on the off chance they're talking about something interesting. As usual, this morning there was nothing interesting in my one minute. However, I got a kick out of stupid Joe going on about how with what's happening in the Gulf, the president and his press secretary look dopey for talking about how angry the president is.

This is the bullshit that makes me slap my head again and again with teh pundits. They create a storyline by asking stupid questions and then slamming Obama and his team for responding to their stupid questions. Only, of course, they never point out that he was responding to stupid questions. They just act as if the president and his people are talking about these things unprompted. I didn't hear Joe slamming the reporters for asking again and again if Gibbs can give details about how the president shows his anger. Just Gibbs and Obama take the hit for talking about it.

Of course, I only gave him a minute, so maybe he did slam the reporter. HA! As if.

4. One person that surprises me is Chuck Todd, I have heard

him actually defend the President's record several times on the oil mess lately.
