Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he's obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson's brother Scott M.

It is beyond tiring, comparing Obama politics to those of any Repub; much less our previous President Bush. . .and so rationalizing the comparison "if Bush did this" is pointless.

Still, the outrage hangs out there like political 'neon'. . .

Will Obama ever pay the price of accountability? He is, of course, beyond 'teflon'; he is untouchable; and it is a big reason why, he is President.

Watergate was child’s play compared to the criminal activites of the obozo admin.

He should be impeached. Pay for play is the Chicago way. Total corruption.

Bohama’s thought is that, “you little people worry about the oddest and most common things!”

Mein Gott, Mein Gott! I go off the air for four hours to drive to SLC and this little bastard turncoat does this? Where in the hell are all the Utah FReepers.

My daughter is here; trying not to confront her too directly because liberals always cry.

She’s working on Sam Granato’s campaign against Mr. idiot Bennett. Sam will be here in a few minutes to bring some images.

I’ll be nice.

And here's the White House Press Release:
(Funny how they don't say that nominee Scott Matheson's brother is Congressman Jim Matheson, D-UT. Imagine that!)
