I just finished watching Sally Quinn of the Washington Post talk about White House security, since it has been revealed that a third person crashed the White House State Dinner.
I stated that someone needs to take the hit for not doing their job and stated Desiree Rogers. She and her department just did not perform their jobs. Rogers is there to SERVE the President, not make herself a guest, mingle and not do her job, which is what she did the night of the Obamas first State Dinner.
Rogers is a close friend to the Obamas, but in this issue, friendship needs to be put aside. This snafu is a reflection of the President and his handling and running of the White House. If something happened to Barack Obama there are no second chances, in regards to security of the First Family, NO SECOND CHANCES.
Rogers need to go.
Now it turns out that there was a third uninvited guest at the White House state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, this one a member of the Indian delegation. It was enough of a shock that the would-be stars Tareq and Michaele Salahi had crashed. But a third? The Salahi story may have been delicious, but the implications of the appalling breach of security are immense. The president could have been assassinated. And had that happened, the Office of the White House Social Secretary would have been as culpable as the Secret Service.
One of the first lessons any administration needs to learn is that somebody has to take the hit for whatever goes wrong. If another culprit is not identified, the president gets the blame. One incident after another in the past few months has shown that members of this administration would rather lay low and let Barack Obama be the target. This has got to stop.
Many in Washington wondered why the director of the Secret Service, Mark Sullivan, did not resign over the state dinner security breach. At least Sullivan testified before Congress on the subject. White House social secretary Desirée Rogers came under fire after the Salahi scandal erupted. From the start, Rogers was an unlikely choice for social secretary. She was not of Washington, considered by many too high-powered for the job and more interested in being a public figure (and thus upstaging the first lady) than in doing the gritty, behind-the-scenes work inherent in that position. That Rogers stayed and that the White House refused to allow her to testify before Congress reflected badly on the president. He, not a member of his staff, ended up looking incompetent. Although it has emerged that a State Department protocol error is to blame for the presence of a third uninvited guest, both Rogers and Sullivan should step down.

A few minutes ago on The Ed Show, Tom Tancredo tried to make the case against government health care by claiming that the Veterans Administration is unpopular with U.S. military veterans. The only problem for him was that he was up against Markos...who is one of those veterans, unlike Tancredo, a pro-Vietnam War chickenhawk who got a 1-Y deferment.
When Markos pointed out that Tancredo was (a) wrong about the Veterans Administration and (b) not qualified to speak for veterans, Tancredo exploded in anger, demanding an apology. Markos did not oblige, and Tancredo stormed off the set.

While, we are happy for now, the work is not done. President Obama will, in the end, have to push this legislation over the hump and that will include twisting the arms of Democrats. Listen to the process that MUST partake, Melber is spot on. And those in red states have every right to be leary about the opt out portion of this bill. Damn, when will I get to have a final exhale on this SHYTE.

50-70K gathered in Washington, D.C. for hatred, pure hatred. This is the Republican Party, a party that needs MINORITY VOTERS to make a return. Well, they won't get any new members with this rhetoric. And they walked all over Senator Ted Kennedy. These people and this party is atrocious. A battle for the heart and soul of America? Says who? The South? Please. Cross section of America, "white, whiter and whitest." And listening to the likes of the idiot of all television, Glenn Beck? Too much.

Again, this is ALL about the insurance companies and lobbyists organizing people to attend these town hall meetings. Dangerous.

Shuster is right, she picks and chooses the shows that will be soft towards her, like morning joke or joe. She is pathetic, a liar and a right winged nut job.

It doesn't take much to show ignorance. And it is not taking long for the GOP to launch this "she is not smart enough" campaign. They are treading on bad ground here.

These governors, Sanford of South Carolina, Jindal of Louisiana, and Palin of Alaska proudly stated they would reject some stimulus money. Well, when you have unemployment like South Carolina does over 11%, folks hurting and in need of unemployment extensions as in Louisiana, pressure comes in all forms. These governors state legislators and the constituents are putting the pressure on these governors, they appear to play politics over governing. Well, like deers in the headlights, they all BLINKED. From MSNBCs Countdown with David Shuster sitting in.

This video needs to be seen. I happen to see it live as I got home. The Glenn Becks, Hannitys, Rush Limbaughs, Bill O'Reillys are dangerous. Why? They continue to stir right wing rhetoric with no backing of facts. We saw some of this during the campaign, but the hate train is out in full force. Fox News should be ashamed of themselves to allow this nonsense on their stations, but hey they don't care as long as it brings in ratings and money. In other words, fact and truth, need not apply. h/t jed lewison from Daily Kos

Shuster has been on a roll lately, calling the hypocrisy out, especially on the Republican side. Now here is Karl Rove criticizing President Obama of misleading people. He of ALL PEOPLE got a lot of nerve. That is all I can type, watch the video. Shuster puts Rove on serious blast.

Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana has invited President Obama to speak at its commencement address, he has accepted. Some over on the Catholic side are outraged, based on his social policies, understood, but Newt Gingrich of all persons have absolutely NOTHING TO SAY when it comes to any social policy. Especially from the Catholicism point of view, he has had a notorious habit of dumping wives and setting up the next one, now on wifey number three. Bravo to David Shuster for calling Gingrich's hypocrisy out.
