Obama: Sacrificing My Unfunded Utopian Domestic Agenda Would Be Like Mortgaging Our Future, Or Something

Ah, the subtle nuances of Obamanomics. See if you can follow the logic.

If you can't, you're probably a racist.

(CNSNews.com) -- Deficits are not the only thing that could mortgage America’s future, President Barack Obama told Democratic donors in New York on Thursday. He stressed it would be mortgaging the country’s future if government did not spend money on certain areas.

“There’s more than one way to mortgage America’s future,” Obama said at The Town Hall in New York. “We mortgage that future if we don’t get a handle on our deficit and debt, but we also mortgage it if we’re not investing in those things that will assure the promise of the American Dream for the next generation.”

Obama, in the speech, broadly defined the government expenditures needed to ensure prosperity for the next generation that should not be sacrificed for deficit and debt reduction.

“I’m not going to sacrifice investments in education. I’m not going to make scholarships harder to get and more expensive for young people,” Obama said to a cheering crowd. “I’m not going to sacrifice the safety of our highways or our airports. I’m not going to sacrifice clean air and clean water. I’m not going to sacrifice clean energy at a time when we need to free ourselves from dependence on foreign oil, and folks are getting killed at the pump.”

Well, that just about covers everything on Obama's domestic agenda. How convenient.

But don't worry, the historic deficit problem that Obama inherited single-handedly made three times as historic will be addressed by slashing frivolous budget expenditures like the military, and gutting NASA. Those sort of outlays don't have much to with "winning the future" anyway.

Wait, what?

Unreal: Bottom-Feeding Lawyer Gloria Allred Hits New Low at Bizarre Press Conference

This should clear up any confusion in your mind concerning the precise mechanics of sodomy. Good thing Gloria Allred had a Louisville Slugger and an assistant handy here, or I'd still be scratching my head trying to figure out what Roger McDowell's latest prank heinous hate crime was exactly.

Dude's been on the lam ever since the Keith Hernandez Spitball Assassination of '87, I guess it's about time he faced justice.

Now, can anyone please tell me what those two young girls are doing up there with her?

Leftwing Drone Cites "Nobel Prize-Winning Economist" Paul Krugman at Town Hall, Hearty Laughter Ensues

Seems the Nobel Prize just isn't as prestigious as it once was, back in the days when only the true greats like Yassar Arafat and Al Gore were awarded the medal.

Eh, never mind.

The good part comes around the 1:20 mark.

Andrew Stiles has more over at NRO, including the ThinkProgress version of the video which conveniently edits out the gut-busting laughter at Krugman's expense.

Naked Workouts: Nice Idea in Theory, But...

As Seinfeld once observed, there is "good naked" and "bad naked".

Here we definitely have a case of "bad naked." If you must, click to see - but trust me, you won't be doing yourself any favors.

One can just imagine the wild, jiggly scene going on over by the treadmills at this Spanish gym.

Easy Gym in the Basque region is the first gym in the country to offer special exercise sessions for nudists.

The workouts were thought up as a response to the nation's recession, which had hit gym membership, owner Merche Laseca told the BBC.

"With the crisis we noticed there were fewer people using the gym," he said.

"I'm not a nudist myself, though I have no problem with it. But this initiative is about the money."

***

"Doing sport without clothes is natural - and much more comfy."

Well, sure. Doing lots of things without clothes is "natural and much more comfy." Tax returns, graphic design, carpentry - these things are all very doable in the nude.

But for most people this is not advisable.

Gaddafi + Philly = Perfect Together?

I cannot vouch for the libertarian candidate behind this ad, but his portrayal of Philly politics is depressingly accurate.

"One of our mayors bombed a neighborhood in West Philadelphia, and got reelected anyway."

Would be funnier if it weren't so true.

Feel free to put Philly right up there with San Francisco, Detroit, and Vermont in the "lost cause" column.

Great News: Gas Pump "Drive-Offs" On the Rise

We'll probably be seeing a lot more of this around the country as gas prices hit $4, $5, or even $6 per gallon as summer approaches.

So don't be alarmed when the guy in front of you at the pump peels out like a NASCAR driver coming out of a pit stop the second he's done filling up.

That's perfectly normal.

MURFREESBORO — Gas thefts are on the rise locally as gas prices near the $4 range at some Murfreesboro convenience stores, according to Murfreesboro Police.

MPD spokesman Kyle Evans said police expect to see even more gas drive-offs as gas prices continue to rise throughout the city and rest of the state.

"As gas goes up, we typically see increases in gas drive-offs," Evans said. "It's something we warn store clerks to be on the lookout for. It's best for gas station owners to implement prepaid policies to avoid such theft."

Lest we forget, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was around $1.79 when Barack Obama took office - practically free compared to today's prices. I'm just sayin'. But of course that was back when we were on the verge of the Next Great Depression™, thanks to the evil George W. Bush.

Who would ever want to go back to that?

Don't all raise your hands at once.

But let's not go around blaming Obama for today's lofty gas prices. Why would we? What, just because he has all but shut down domestic drilling and oil exploration? Or because the Middle East has devolved into an unpredictable disaster on his watch? Or because he's sinking hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars into inefficient, impractical energy sources like solar and wind?

Clearly, none of that has anything at all to do with gas prices.

Nah, Obama's off the hook here. It's the shadowy, greedy speculators who are driving gas prices through the roof. Or something. At least that's what Bill O'Reilly keeps telling me every night.

He's super-smart too, so he must be right.

Full Video: Man-Child POTUS Easily Miffed By Texas Reporter's Mildly Skeptical Questions

This is the full, unedited video of President Obama's interview yesterday with Dallas-Forth TV reporter Brad Watson.

It's worth watching, because it shows just how thin-skinned Obama really is.

At the conclusion of the interview, Obama testily whispers to Watson: "Let me finish my questions." (Obviously he meant "answers"; dude was rattled!) Yet Watson can hardly be described as combative or even confrontational here; in fact, he's quite cordial and gives Obama more than ample time to filibuster respond to each question. Only twice by my count does Watson interject - once when Obama makes a pathetic attempt to sugarcoat his 2008 margin of loss in Texas, and again with about 1:15 left in the clip.

All in all, Obama does about 95% of the talking during this interview. So what's his beef?

Every GOP candidate thinking of running should be watching this and licking their chops to devour this cream puff in a debate.

SEIU Flash Mob Unleashes Cheesy Dance Moves, Inane Chants on Target Shoppers

Bet you didn't realize the SEIU had the White Man's Boogie in their playbook. Yep, it's true. Too bad they couldn't recruit Richard Simmons for the day. Woulda been a nice touch.

And how convenient for these folks, to hold a flash mob at a Target. This way, instead of hopping on the school bus (huh?) afterwards to go back to wherever they came from, they can just hang back and do a little shopping.

New Civility Update: Seething Moonbat Tells Washington Times Reporter to "Drop Dead"

Don't light a cigarette near this creep, he's liable to blow.

I keep hearing that both sides of the political aisle have their share of nutjobs, but I'm struggling to recall the last time a conservative activist spit nails like this at a liberal media reporter after a "biased" question at an open press conference.

Washington Times reporter Kerry Picket has the full video and write-up of this bizarre encounter over at her blog.
