China won't stand in the way of penalties on North Korea
North Korea continues to isolate itself through rogue nation behavior. Being forced to choose, China appears ready for the North Koreans to be punished for their aggressions on a South Korean ship earlier this year. It is one more sign that China is accepting its role as a leader and peacekeeper on the world's diplomatic stage. Read more:
Sestak Yields
Following the White House official statement on the matter Rep. Joe Sestak issued a statement today that pretty much lays to rest questions about the White House's possible involvement in trying to get him to stay out of Pennsylvania Democratic Primary race for the U.S. Senate.Previously Sestak claimed he was offered a "job" by the White House if he would get out of the race. It would seem that the "job" he was offered by the White House was merely an unpaid seat on a board with the offer coming through Bill Clinton. Earlier in the week the two sides statements (Sestak's and the White House's) had become so contradictory that common sense suggested one or the other was lying. Now that all the facts are out "lying" now seems like an overly harsh charge against Sestak. Do we hear big exaggeration anyone? Read statement here:
Carville Is Shocked and Amazed
It was an interesting presidential press conference yesterday. In reference to the horrific oil spill in the gulf President Obama said, “In case you’re wondering who’s responsible, I take responsibility.”
We are quite sure we do NOT want the president taking responsibility for something he had nothing to do with. There are multiple explanations for why the president would choose to take the hit. Most of them are political. First, there are way too many foolish people yelling at the president. Democrat James Carville (right) was yelling on television recently. Sadly he is yelling about something that British Petroleum is responsible for. However, sometimes when common sense suggests you put the blame where it belongs, “political” strategists will advise you that it might just come off as un-presidential to point fingers.
Another school of thought suggests that if you are president and your policy agenda is for the federal government to virtually take as much control of society as is legislatively possible, always taking responsibility tends to help condition the minds of the public to lay all their troubles, fears, and concerns at government’s door.
In the end, how the president’s claim of responsibility for B.P.’s error will be received is anyone’s guess. In the meantime it strikes us as particularly pathetic that James Carville chooses a time and circumstance like this to offer harsh criticism of the president. Apparently Carville is shocked and amazed that the federal government takes emergency actions too slowly. This being pathetic because moving slowly, is precisely what government is good at. Anytime you need lethargy or sloth, the government can deliver. All you have to do is be extraordinarily patient.
Leave it to a government worshipper like Carville to get mad at his own god......government.
