The Obama administration is the New Animaniacs (small apoligy to Steven)

Why? Well,

Everyone has a pay for play contract

They are, for the most part, lunatics or loons

You will laugh, but wonder why you are laughing.

Life as a cartoon is here today.

This is what ambassadorships are for....a payoff to rich fundraisers. Both parties have done it for years.

Lobbyists, tax cheats and cronies are all the Agent of Change has given us. His supporters are still blind. Probably always will be.

Lets not forget that Obama had a bronze bust of Winston Churchill returned to the British Embassy, according to Rush.
The bust was given, as a gift, to W. after 9-11.

No the change is to socialism. It’s business as usual with the cronyism.

Ah yes, old Joe Kennedy, Nazi sympathizer.

"During May of 1938, Kennedy engaged in extensive discussions with the new German Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, Herbert von Dirksen. In the midst of these conversations (held without approval from the U.S. State Department), Kennedy advised von Dirksen that President Roosevelt was the victim of "Jewish influence" and was poorly informed as to the philosophy, ambitions and ideals of Hitler's regime. (The Nazi ambassador subsequently told his bosses that Kennedy was "Germany's best friend" in London.)"

Joe Kennedy and the Jews

What a shame. To think we could have gotten rid of Oprah for a couple years.

I think Oprah should be sent to Monaco. She’d fit in perfectly with the Grimaldi family.

I can’t muster any outrage. Republicans do this too. The career diplomats go to Haiti, Burkina Faso and Uzbekistan. The big shot cronies go to London, Paris, Bermuda and Switzerland.
