If you thought you’d heard it before, yes, you’d heard the State of the Groundhog,
Ed Morrissey points out that a minimum-wage hike is the wrong way to lift working poor, but Ed misses the point: politicians don’t want to lift the working poor. Instead they prefer doom, despair and agony if it serves their purpose,
No doom, despair and agony for Obama. After a $900 Valentine’s Day dinner, Obama’s spending a few days on Florida’s Atlantic Coast

This will be his second vacation of the year. Back on 9/11/12 he did nothing on Benghazi, when he was President AWOL:
On the night of 9-11, after the US Embassy in Cairo was stormed, and after hearing that the US Consulate in Benghazi was under attack, Barack Obama did nothing.
After being briefed by his top security advisers at a pre-planned meeting in the White House around 5:30 PM EST, he never picked up the phone again to see how things were going. And four innocent Americans including the US ambassador to Libya, were slaughtered.
This email was sent to State Department officials, White House officials, Secret Service officials at 6:07 PM EST on 9-11, from Benghazi officials the night of the terrorist attack.
The email clearly blamed Al-Qaeda linked group Ansar al-Sharia for the attack on the US consulate.
This was before the lifeless body of Ambassador Stevens was dragged from the consulate ruins.
This was at least the third email sent to the White House on 9-11 from Benghazi.

You learn something new every day: Penises are called chubbies.
Your pop culture references are a scream. I hadn’t thought about Gloom, Despair and Agony… for years, but suddenly it goes from being country fun to a satirical comment on what Obama hath wrought.
Gloom, Despair and Agony
An obamaeconomy anthem!
