Senate reviewing how college football picks No. 1 The nation is being destroyed by socialist popinjays, and Utah's Sen. Orrin Hatch triggers a Senate Judiciary hearing on how the NCAA chooses it's college football champion. Egad.
The rumor mill has sprung and sources say that the reporters were prompted to laugh when he raised this question even though it was the most popular question of his so called "Town Hall Meeting". Instead of answering the question with the respect that the American people deserves , President Obama decided to laugh it off. For a man with the most serious job in the world, Barack Obama sure does giggle a lot. Perhaps he is saving all of the stash for himself.
"Am I happy? Well, I don't know. I'm happy as the next man, I guess. I don't laugh all day long like an idiot, if that's what you mean." Wyatt Earp
At least Bush laughed with us and not at us.
"I inhaled frequently. That was the point." Barack the puppet Obama
This not only angers me by the dismissal of the American voice by President Obama but by the ignorance in his answer. The "war" on Marijauna costs American taxpayers 78 billion dollars a year. That doesn't even include the cost of housing criminals of victimless crimes. If we were to turn it into an industry like tobacco and tax it accordingly we could net 180 Billion dollars a year in revenues. The President made a foul mistake in not only his ironic response to this question,but also in his misinformed, or simply ignorant, response to the American people. This makes him look very incompetent in my book. Democrat or Republican, do not be lied to.
