The Amazing Expectations for Obama

There are clearly uneducated and uninformed people out there in the world.  No, they’re not limited to just the Obama faithful, but I had to post these.

The first is a woman who seems to have fallen on some tough times.  I feel for her and hope her condition improves, however she seems to be hoping that Obama was planning an Oprah moment.

This next clip is of a gentleman who has not managed to move up from his McDonald’s job while attending college.  Hats off to him for working there for over four years, but he is a bit confused if he thinks Obama’s job is to force companies to give increased benefits based on years of service.

It just reminds me of the lady who swooned over Obama during the election, feeling she would never have to worry about paying for her mortgage ever again.

The expectations of these people are amazing.  And to his credit, Obama handled the strange questions fairly well.  I hope that the general population is more informed than this and realize that it is personal effort, not governmental effort, that will move them to the place they want to be in life. What ever happened to “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”?

Schumer: Americans Don’t Care About Pork

 

OK, this is downright insulting.  I suppose I must be part of the “chattering class” or something.  Apparently most Americans don’t mind a few million dollars of waste here, a billion or two there… Schumer claims it’s just not a big deal.  It is amazing how much respect politicians like this give our tax money!

McCain Yard Sign Vandal Gets Shocked by Booby Trap

A My Fox Dallas report details the adventures of a Chapel Hill, North Carolina man that was tired of having his McCain yard signs stolen and replaced with Obama signs.  The man, Shawn Turschak, an electrical engineer, wired his sign up an a power supply from an electrical pet fence.  He set up a camera in a nearby tree and kept surveillance.

The camera caught a rather short individual approaching his sign with an Obama sign.  The youngster touched the sign and quickly ran off the way he came.  Shortly afterward, a neighbor came to the house complaining that his 9-year old son had been electrocuted.

Captain James Nida of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department says he doesn’t plan to file charges.

Palin Effigy in California Finally Comes Down

The owners of a West Hollywood home finally took down the effigy of Palin hanging by a noose that RWNJ reported on earlier.  According to this CBS2 report, neighbors came and obscured the mannequin with a sheet.

Later that evening, some protesters arrived with an SUV and an effigy of their own.  They strung up a mannequin labeled “Chad” (after the homeowner, Chad Morrissette) in a noose.  It was apparently effective as shortly afterward, the Palin mannequin came down.  A video is avalable at the CBS2 report.

Mass State Senator Wilkerson Busted Taking Bribes

A Massachusetts state senator, Democrat Dianne Wilkerson, was arrested on charges of extortion as a public official and theft of honest services as a state senator.  According to an Associated Press article, she was caught on video accepting cash from some undercover agents and even stuffing some of the money into her bra.  It appears she took the cash in exchange for her assistance in helping a developer obtain a liquor license.

Wilkerson did not enter a plea, but faces a total of 40 years in prison and $500,000 in fines.  She had held the seat since 1993 but lost in a close primary race.  She was attempting to keep her position through a write-in and sticker campaign.  Allegedly, the illegal money was going to be used to help fund a primary recount that would cost $70,000.
