Happy Hour Politics

washingtontimes.com – The White House told Congress on Monday that its budget will be late this year, meaning President Obama once again will miss the deadline set in law.

Congressional officials said the president now will send up his budget on Feb. 13, which is a week later than the usual date. The law requires the budget be sent by the first Monday in February.

How are people not upset by this? Not only is barack late here, who probably blames Bush for the delay of course, but he and the rest of the dem leadership haven’t passed a budget in over 1,000 days. 3 years of budgeted government under a Democratic controlled government, and it’s all the Republicans fault right? I doubt it.

yahoo.com – On Monday morning, Jon Huntsman announced his decision to quit his presidential bid following a poor showing in New Hampshire’s Jan. 10 primary. In his announcement, he derided the negativity permeating the GOP primary race and immediately threw his support behind Mitt Romney.

“Today, I am suspending my campaign for the presidency,” the former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador to China said during a news conference held in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “I believe it is now time for our party to unite around the candidate best equipped to defeat Barack Obama. Despite our differences and the space between us on some of the issues, I believe that candidate is Governor Mitt Romney.”

Well it took a little longer than we predicted here back in August when Pawlenty dropped out, but he’s finally out. As soon as the media and the left started endorsing him as their preferred candidate, it was certainly time for him to leave.

Now he’s endorsing Romney, which frankly scares me.

dailycaller.com – Video footage provided exclusively to The Daily Caller shows election workers in New Hampshire giving out ballots in the names of dead voters at multiple voting precincts during the state’s primary election on Tuesday.

These stories piss me off more than anything. If I get carded for buying wine in NH, or for boarding a flight in Manchester, why am I not carded in order to vote? The reasons from the intelligent left is “Not all students have IDs” (all students have a student ID…) or “Some people can’t afford IDs” (this one doesn’t even deserve a rebuttal.) It’s all about voter fraud and getting dead people to vote or people you know aren’t going to vote so you can vote as many times as you’d like. This is a common practice embraced by the left (see Acorn.)

The timing of this is perfect. With 300 days to go, let’s hope O’Keefe’s video does some good for the upcoming election nationwide. If you don’t have an ID

Only 300 days left until the election to defeat barack. I can’t wait.

Brandon Paul drops 43 tonight. Illinois beats #5 Ohio St. Ho hum, just another night.. Best performance by any player in college basketball so far this year, no debate. 3rd or 4th best night by ANY Illini basketball player EVER.

Happy Birthday Lou Henson, 80 years young.

buzzfeed.com – Rep. Ron Paul’s campaign called on the rest of the Republican field to drop out of the race and unite behind him in order to defeat Mitt Romney.

“We urge Ron Paul’s opponents who have been unsuccessfully trying to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney to unite by getting out of the race and uniting behind Paul’s candidacy,” campaign chair Jesse Benton said in a statement.

Umm… what? Ron Paul is more liberal, yes more liberal, than Mitt Romney is. And now he wants everyone to unite behind him? No one in their right mind running for president of the United States would say 9/11 was our fault. Ron Paul did. No one would say they aren’t worried about Iran getting a nuclear weapon. Ron Paul did. The list goes on and on. His views on foreign policy are atrocious and embarrassing and in no way fits the office of POTUS. Dare I say it’s worse than what we have in the oval office right now.

Folks want to replace ALL of barack’s policies, not half of them. What a joke.

Unreal finish with a td pass from Tebow to Demaryius Thomas with the new playoff overtime rules.

And here I thought Tebow couldn’t throw a TD pass, win his division, make the playoffs, or even win a playoff game. Keep proving them wrong Tim.

In case you missed it:

dailycaller.com – Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.

By and large, unions backed the health care overhaul, a law from which nearly a half million of their workers are now exempt.

Shocker huh? This is the third post we’ve made about this waiver list subject, and the number not surprisingly continues to rise. Private employers received waivers for 69,813 employees. Labor unions received waivers for 543,812 employees. And here I thought the labor movement was behind obamacare since they put so much money behind the push and of course getting barack and his liberal agenda elected.

If you recall, barack said his plan would be the best for the health care industry, the economy and basically the world! If you are drawing a blank on the promises he made once it passed, here are a few examples to jog your memory:

- Unemployment would go down (never happened)
- The deficit would go down (we’re up to 15 TRILLION now, approaching 16)
- You could keep you health plan if you liked it (not happening as seen here)

I guess barack lied. Another shocker.

Besides Tebow mania, we’ve been a bit quiet around here. Well it’s 2012, a brand new year and of course it’s an election year. Some say it’s the most important election year in recent history. If that’s the case, we have a lot more to talk about then Tebow and the AFC West champion Denver Broncos.

It’s time to get serious and make sure our good friend barack is unemployed here in the next 12 months. We need to make sure Harry Reid is the minority leader in 2012 instead of the the majority leader. And that’s not to say Republicans are doing everything right, so we’ll hold them accountable as well, but they can’t be any worse then the dem leadership over the past 6 years.

So we’re getting back to the basics here to inform everyone what is really going on out there. With help from Drudge, Levin, Rush, Hannity and all the rest, it will certainly be an interesting year.

Yes there’s two sides to every story, but usually one of them is wrong…

Another unreal Tim Tebow and Denver Broncos come from behind win.
