Funny the thing that can happen on the way to the coliseum, so true as Senator Sam Brownback has placed a hold on President Obama’s nominee to be U.S. ambassador to Turkey. This is due to a century-old dispute that has been in Congress for decades. Francis Riccardione’s nomination is on hold due to Senator Sam Brownback belief that the U.S. Congress where he sponsored the resolution to recognize Armenian Genocide that may have taken places during World War I by Turkey. Congress has never passed a resolution and no president ever said genocide during the annual April proclamation marking Armenian Remembrance Day. If you remember Candidate Barack Obama pledged recognition for the Armenian plight. The bigger problem is Turkey made a side deal with Brazil and Iran over trading nuclear fuel undermining sanctions by the United Nations. There is also the issue of vocal support by Turkey about its relations with neighboring Iran simultaneous with diminishing relations with one-time ally Israel. President Obama is in tough shape over this one as relations with Turkey could go either way and to take on the issue of a genocide resolution in order to get Riccardione confirmed seems unwarranted based on the bigger picture. It is to bad this administration of Ivy League elitist do not have any people in the administration with world standing as the reason there is respect or dialog is the world knows President Obama and his administration as not ready for prime time and this is another example.

Here is a shocking revelation and another chance to be called a birther. The Obama administration has come out opposed to something the country is mostly in favor of. The administration says it is wrong to try to change the constitutional amendment that grants automatic citizenship to babies born in the United States. This is not shocking as the president himself would not be president without this amendment. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says she is surprised that Republican congressional leaders are joining a push to reconsider the 14th Amendment instead of working with Democrats on comprehensive immigration reform. Here is a new flash it is called doing what the people are asking for as we out here are fed up giving a free ride while hard working American citizens are unemployed or paying for more undocumented citizens. It was a triple header when White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama agrees with Napolitano. We would like to also declare that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has said he supports holding hearings to reconsider the citizenship rights of the illegal immigrant’s babies born in the U.S. We know this is election season hyperbolae but is it any clearer that the leadership in Washington is so out of touch.

Maybe we should have gone with match on. Now that former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon, the newly nominated Republican Senate candidate in Connecticut is set to run against Democrat Richard Blumenthal she is ready to fight. Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon appeared on a network news program ABC’s “Good Morning America, saying she is willing to spend whatever it takes to win. McMahon has made millions with her involvement with World Wrestling Entertainment. She threw the number that must have made democrats choke; she plans to spend up to $50 million of her own money in the fall. Even in highbrow Connecticut that is a lot of personal coin to drop on a senate race, we wonder if Democrat Richard Blumenthal has come out of shock when he heard the news. She told ABC that it’s money I’ve earned. It’s money I’m willing to invest. This is going to be a good one as we move toward November second. Richard Blumenthal is not in the same league as the lawyer has been the Attorney General of Connecticut since 1991. The good news is current senator in the seat Christopher Dodd will not have a job. There is one person who you would love to see on the unemployment line, the problem is he has healthcare for life and collects a pension the day after Linda McMahon is sworn in.

One again there is more proof that this election is going to be played by Tea Party rules. America has adopted the Tea party Contract for America and seems to be running with it. Tea Party candidate Ken Buck a Weld County prosecutor has defeated former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton to clinch Colorado’s Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate. The Tuesday vote proves that politicians with close connections to Washington are an endangered species. Lt. Gov. Jane Norton had been endorsed by GOP leaders and she co-chaired John McCain’s presidential campaign in Colorado. We are not sure calling her a Washington insider is fair as she has never been in Washington. The bottom line is this is guilt by association. On the democrat side, they clearly did not get the memo from the nation as they sent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet even though his primary challengers tried a relentless anti-establishment assault. In fairness to Bennet he was only appointed last year after predecessor Ken Salazar became Interior Secretary. This is the match up and it appears to be a good one as Weld County prosecutor Republican Tea Party candidate Ken Buck versus former superintendent of Denver Public Schools appointed Senator Michael Bennet in November.

This President told us he would change Washington. He said it was going to be different. Today was another example of how nothing changed and everything is the same as it ever was. The House pushed through an emergency $26 billion jobs bill that Democrats said would save 300,000 teachers, police and others from election-year layoffs. President Barack Obama immediately signed it into law. The troublesome thing is these people do not understand you cannot keep spending at sometime you have to cut. They never do and look like never will. If we need to give money to fund unemployment, and the stimulus then somebody has give back. We understand losing 300,000 teachers and police is bad. Does anyone really believe that number? Does anyone think the union would let it happen? This one-day expensive session was a giveaway to teacher union and another example of wasteful Washington spending. The vote was 247-161 the only good news is the aid for the states is to be paid for mostly by closing a tax loophole used by multinational corporations and by reducing food stamp benefits for the poor. The legislation provides $10 billion to school districts to rehire laid-off teachers and an additional $16 billion would extend for six months increased Medicaid payments to the states. That would free money for states to meet other budget priorities, including keeping more than 150,000 police officers and other public workers on the payroll. Today your government spent another $26 billion they did not have to give money to states that already spent it and factored into their budgets when will it end when does it stop?

It really has been like Christmas this summer. The primary season has been fun it looks like Charlie Rangel is going to have to walk away, the President is losing people and the unemployment is stuck. Can the new get any better for a November second mid-term elections? Yes it can the House ethics committee announced three counts of alleged ethics violations against California Democrat Maxine Waters, including a charge that she requested federal help for a bank where her husband owned stock and had served on its board. Do not let this shake your confidence in the system. Max gets the Maxine Waters is a 10-term representative from Los Angeles. She has denied any wrongdoing and had urged the committee to come forth with details of the charges so that she can defend herself in a trial expected to take place this fall. Her three counts is trumped by Rangel, 13. The best part is Waters chairs the Financial Services subcommittee on housing and community opportunity. It is amazing how the power and graft these people wheel blinds them to right and wrong. Waters contends that the National Bankers Association requested the meeting, which was held on behalf of the association, not OneUnited. When it all comes out the bottom line is OneUnited received $12 million in bailout money. Waters husband financial interest in OneUnited was about $175,000 which would have been worthless if OneUnited had not received federal funds. Waters has tried to say she has always been an advocate on behalf of minority banks, except OneUnited is not in California, so for her to allow them to benefit on her behalf is engaging in improper action or influenced.
