TOTUS

You're probably familiar with a couple of acronyms out of Washington:

POTUS - President of the United States
SCOTUS - Supreme Court of the United States

Now comes a new acronym for the latest "Most Powerful Position in the Free World".  That is TOTUS.....or Teleprompter of the United States.  He's so connected he has his own blog, own facebook account, and not just one but two twitter accounts.

With all this work going on, I'm starting to wonder when TOTUS has time to tell Barack Obama what to say.

Top Ten Gaffes by Obama/Biden

Toby Harnden at the Telegraph has listed the top 10 gaffes by Barack Obama and Joe Biden.  This list is only SINCE the election on November 4th.  He also has a top dozen list in October of the campaign gaffes.

I imagine it was tough to limit it to just these 22 total.

Obama's Teleprompter Needs Own Phone Line

It may be time for Obama's teleprompter to get it's own phone line.  After quips like this one about the Special Olympics, the teleprompter could take out the middle man and make it's own apologies.

Missing The Big One?

Back in 1990, climatologist Iben Browning made big news on his prediction of a big earthquake along the New Madrid fault system.  Teams from Purdue and Northwestern universities have now determined that the fault system may actually be shutting down.

Based on these studies, that may mean that another fault in the area may pick up where New Madrid left off at.  So maybe we're not out of the woods yet.

Being Questioned By His Own

One knows it's getting bad when one's own side starts questioning.  The Huffington Post columnist Robert Kuttner yesterday notes questions on the Obama's direction on TARP money.  He goes so far as to even question "the man we absolutely needed", Tim Geithner.

I'm glad to start seeing folks on the left notice what some of us have known all along.  That these guys now in Washington are either incompetent or planning this bad stuff.

Mixed Messages

So maybe Barack Obama is out of campaign mode?  I say that because the White House is now saying the economy is basically sound.  That after his comments, during his campaign, that John McCain's similar comments were from a guy out of touch who could not grasp the challenges facing our country.

Also, consider that just last week the White House Office of Management and Budget director Peter Orszag stated that "fundamentally, the economy is weak."

I wonder who is out of touch now.

How Do You Spell "Tired"?

Seems President Obama was a bit too tired to pay much attention to the leader of our closest ally when he came to visit last week.  Funny, in all the crises that President Bush faced, I don't recall that ever having been a problem.  In this case, I think there's a better way to spell "tired":  i-n-c-o-m-p-e-t-e-n-t.

Make Our Apologies

Glenn Beck made a good point on his show today.  We'll be sending our apologies concerning our president''s snubbing of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to here:

The British Embassy
3100 Massachusetts Ave NW
Washington, DC   20008

We'll be sending a copy of the same letter to here:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20500

It would be interesting to see how many apologies they get.
