MR. OBAMA DEDICATED TO 'INVESTMENTS'! -- WATCH! -- Just A Minute Radio for Thursday 120517

Spring is coming on apace… as they used to say in Shakespeare’s place.

 

However, all is not calm in Washington town. Mr. O continues to rub Mr. B (the House Leader) the wrong way and we may as well look for stormy weather coming in the Summertime.

 

I watched a “storm chaser’s’’ program Monday, I think it was and it’s not a job I want. I used to fly airplanes *around* those clouds – or ‘over them’ if I was riding commercial.  But nowadays between TSA and the continual alerts and other threats for airplane riding – not to mention some of the outlandish extra fees that have been tacked on to commercial air travel…. Well there’s no such thing as THE FRIENDLY SKIES as there used to be.

 

The underwear bombers have spoiled the scenery and pleasure of flying. Add to that the extra fees for ice water or a blanket or a pillow and you wonder if there’s not a “Scrooge” airline in the hangar awaiting it’s launching soon.

 

It’s the middle of the week and I’ve got to get busy with some new contacts that got messed up because of the connection problems of the last two weeks. So… Have to sign off early.

 

Drop me a note when you have the time and the urge and I’ll note you right back. (J)

 

All the best… IN HIM

 

Cordially,

Jack

 “JUST A MINUTE”

MR. OBAMA DEDICATED TO “INVESTMENTS!” – WATCH IT.

          Just a Minute: Mr. Obama calls government spending: ‘INVESTMENTS’. The Wall St. Journal says he is so eager to make this point his rhetoric takes him beyond his capability and expertise as it did recently in Seattle.

          Do you recall Al Gore taking credit for ‘inventing the internet?’ Well observe carefully because Mr. Obama takes credit for DARPA [Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency] – as something he’s responsible for and that wouldn’t be around had he not pushed it.

          Listen to this quote: “There’s no Facebook, there’s no Microsoft, there’s no Google if we had not made the common investment in our future.”

          Darpa is not engaged in commercializing products – its job is funding basic research -- not sliding that into developing the business side of the effort.  That’s how billions of dollars were lost in the Solyndra commercialization.  Failing to recognize the difference – ignorance – is how the American taxpayers lost billions of tax revenue which should never have happened.

          This is why we need a President who is wise not one saturated in ignorance.
