I happened to catch the congressional hearing today with Attorney General Eric Holder. Boy that guy is arrogant! He did everything but admit his team lied to congress over the Fast and Furious gun operation. He weaseled, quibbled, obfuscated, and attacked congress’ motives. He is nothing short of a disgrace and he should be let go. It will not happen of course as he and the President are joined at the hip on a range of diverse matters. Who else would be so compliant or complicit.

Shortly after this fiasco, the President himself took the podium lecturing and excoriating republicans. With mock anger, he  also announced that  he was going to shorten his  Hawaiian vacation as long as work needed to be done. Well God bless him. He was so embarrassed all week by the criticism that he backed off. Does he deserve a 17 day Hawaiian vacation? I don’t think so.

But this raises another problem. The plan is for Michelle and gang to go ahead at a cost of upwards of $100K, with the president following whenever, at another ridiculous cost. What about saving money?  Here’s one, if Michelle wants to go early, charter a commercial jet and fly. Do we need to tax military resources for the first lady’s vacation?

OK. I will not end this week on a downer. Lets have  some fun. In the last article I compared the President to the Music Man, selling snake oil to the public.  What other movie titles apply to the president? Here’s my list:

Clueless

The Hollow Man

Unfaithful

Liar Liar

The Angry Man

For his administration I thought of the following:

Dawn of the Dead

Resident Evil

Paranormal Activity

Apocalypse Now

I’d love to hear your nominations.  Have a great weekend and see you Monday.
