Place trades, get free real time quotes and teleport myself to aruba. I wish. Time for scrambled politics. President obama played a round of golf and one of his partners, joe oneal was a lobbyist for mitt romneys old film bain capital. The white house is dismissing that it violates the pledge of limiting access of lobbyists to the white house. Jay carney said i think he played a game of golf. Meanwhile oh, my god oh, my god. How cool is this . That was the reaction when president obama took a surprise detour on his way to a fundraiser to stop at the Little League game of spokesman jay carneys daughter and chatted with the teams while they warmed up and threw out a few pitches before heading on his way. Former Vice President ial candidate sarah palin is weighing in on Hillary Clintons health. In a saar krcastic facebook pos that says, hey, hillarys brain is offlimits. Leave her Health Records alone. Democrats are right. Scouring records of a female candidate is just politics of personal destruction and adds that at the end, this just doesnt happen at this respectable level of american politics. Just ask me and trig referring to rumors that circulated around the election that she was the babys actual birth mother. Senator marco rubio says there is no responsible way to
ever recreationally use marijuana. In an interview with abc and yahoo news, and heres what he had to say when asked if he has ever smoked pot. Heres the problem with that question in american politics. If you say that you did, then suddenly there are people out there saying its not a big deal.

There is no way for an older guy to go with a young girl to the prom and that seemed a little creepy. Wrist corsages arent exactly in. Thats the only faux pas i saw. This is not cool. This new poll. Listen to what it found out where the 2014 elections will actually be decided. Likely voters said they would prefer a republican over democrat by 7 points. 41 to 34 and heres whats interesting. A quarter said they were unsure of their preference. What do you think jo. Dem graphs will focus on the onequarter because the other numbers are not good. I was interested in the fact 25 said, i dont know. Who the heck knows. Democrats are zoob at a disadvantage at this point six months in, right . Particularly youve got the president s low ratings and the health care thing continues to be an anchor for democrats. But theres a lot of time to go and the dems will pound the local and other emotional issue, right, to watch the pay equity stuff and Immigration Reform and maybe gun also come back so, yes to early signs are tough but a long way to go. Talk about those issues. Heres what we found out in the poll it also shows nine in ten said the Health Care Law would be important to determining their vote including 49 who said it would be very important. So is that really going to be the key issue during these midterms . A key issue, yes, the key issue, im not sure because heres the problem. What do you do . There is not an appetite, a great appetite for totally getting rid of it. A lot of aspects are still pretty popular and so folks say, well, i dont love it but, boy, dont take the good stuff away from me. Got you. Thanks foech sore weighing in
