We must have let the rest of the White House staff go on Winter Holiday Break early too, because as of this morning, still no transcript from yesterdays presser.
I gotta run, Ive got a flight to catch. See you next year.
Although there was this posted yesterday on the Big White site: DECLARACIONES DEL PRESIDENTE SOBRE CAMBIOS EN LA POLÍTICA CON CUBA. No English translation though because, as I just explained, a lot of people are already on holiday. I ran it through my special language pack however and it appears to be addressed to newly landed formerly illegal aliens. It explains how to get a Social Security number, a drivers license, food stamps, unemployment and ObamaCare. It also explains that first you have to join the Democratic Party and register to vote.
And Merry Christmas to you too, María José, Dreamer, studente, and futuro lídero.
So youll just have to rely on my synopsis of yesterdays all-female, all print media presser, as Im sure you were too busy to bother with it.
Because hauling crude via railcar is way safer than an environmentally insensitive pipeline

And finally, justifying his new, unilateral (remember when that used to be a bad thing?) Cuba policy, Barry told us:
If youve done the same thing for 50 years and nothings changed you should try something different if you want a different outcome.
Maybe he should send the same message to his own party, because after 50 years and trillions of dollars, the results of the Great Societys War on Poverty are less than spectacular:
When President Lyndon Johnson announced his Great Society plan to use the federal government to declare war on poverty in 1964, the poverty rate was around 14.7%. In 2012 the poverty rate was nearly unchanged at 15% (although todays poor are materially better off than in 1964).
So after nearly 50 years and 20 TRILLION dollars spent in Johnsons Great Society war on poverty, the poverty rate has remained virtually unchanged while the illegitimacy rate in the black community has skyrocketed from 25% to over 70%.
It took the people enslaved by the Soviet Union some 70 years to break their chains of the tyranny of communism with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
We are 50 years and counting with the failed policies of big government liberalism as it pertains to poverty in general and the destructive dynamics in the black community in particular.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
The country is way past due for a course change.
Of course all that could change, since Big Guys not done yet. Hes still got 2 years, his pen and a phone.
Butt hey, listen to me getting all political on the Saturday before Christmas!
Its the holiday season! Weve landed in Hawaii, and its time to kick back for a couple of weeks! Let the partying begin!
We, too, will be taking a bit of a respite during the holidays: posts will be brief and recipes and adorable baby/ animal photos will always be welcome.
Now get out there with the millions of other Americans who forgot to do their shopping online and finish up your Christmas shopping. Only 4 more days!
