Romney tells Howie: I’d deport Obama’s uncle

I’m glad I thought to ask Mitt that question about Uncle Omar – that headline looks great on the Drudge Report this afternoon. “Romney: I’d Deport Obama’s Uncle.”

It was a no-brainer. I was just surprised he didn’t know who I was talking about at first. I understand that he wouldn’t read Barack’s narcissistic memoirs, but hey, Uncle Omar’s been in the Boston papers for months now.

Apparently, Boston columnist Howie Carr had RINO Romney on his radio program and asked him about Barack Obama's drunk-drivin', ICE-avoidin' Unkie Omar. Romney stumbled a bit at first, but then said he'd deport Unkie Omar. There's just one problem: Romney doesn't exactly have a stellar track record on illegal aliens... What he does have, apparently, is a talent for saying what he thinks his audience wants to hear.

IOW, one politician, standard issue. No thanks, Mitt.

That is all.

Obama approves extension of expiring Patriot Act provisions

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama, who is attending a summit in France, directed the use of an autopen late Thursday to sign key provisions of the Patriot Act that were due to expire at midnight.

By a 250-153 vote, the Republican-led House agreed to extend the expiring provisions of the law passed after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Gitmo. DADT. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (and now Libya and possibly Pakistan). And now, the evil and much maligned (rightfully so) Patriot Act. I thought we elected Teleprompter Jesus to SAVE us from the evils of the Chimpy McHaliburton regime, not to bury us under retreads of same?

WEERD put it best: People hated Bush so much they painted him brown and put a D after his name.

That is all.
