I’m shocked that The Kenyan is going to bypass an opportunity to pay back an employees union...?!

This is confusing. Didn’t they previously earmark a few billion for Cal? Of course, we’re 40 bill down.

Speaking on behalf of my fellow Californians, please allow me to say, "Thank you, Lord!"
We don't need no steenking bailout. And we certainly don't need no steenking strings attached to it.

They shouldn't bail out CA. They??? You mean "we".
This is not General Secretary Ubama's money. It's taxpayers' money.

I’m wondering if he’s reached the point where he realizes he’s bitten off more than he can conveniently chew.

If they attempt to bail out CA, there will be hell to pay.
Major revolt.

If we cut off the bankrolling of illegal aliens, and...
If we cut funding to schools (while requiring a comprehensive K-college financial audit, which is to be presented online, and at a level at which California high school graduates and even California teacher can understand ...
And, then if we required statewide VOTER approval for any rules put forth by the regulatory agencies which might have significant economic impact...
Then, we could be in okay shape.
.
Other things come to mind, like making the Golden State more business and taxpayer friendly.

You bet. Every state will be rushing to Washington ready to turn over their residual sovereignty in exchange for cash...or some pottage.

What? No bail out for Leftwing moonbat central?? Shocking! He's P.O.'d the fags, now the school teachers. Obama must really be planning to be a term president usurper.
At the rate he's going, he'll have done all the damage he wanted to by then anyways.
No need to worry about elections once he declares them unnecessary.

Speaking on behalf of my fellow Californians, please allow me to say, "Thank you, Lord!"Agreed.
There are solutions. Privatize K-12. Start drilling. Sell off State 'properties' (the government shouldn't hoard land away from the public). Stop providing 'free' services to illegal intruders. Cut taxes.

"They shouldn't bail out CA." "They??? You mean "we"."
I am a native Californian, honey. To me, the Feds will always be "they"!
Tom McClintock, who spent most of his career in State government before being elected to the House, had the right attitude about it.

I’d make a horrible governor, but I’d be a great dictator.
