Its Friday Morning, Pulling on the Hip Waders
There you go Morning Joe, Tweety, Billo, Hannity.. grab a microphone and have at it.. especially how the President is not mad enough.

But don't let reality slap you in the face..here are some headlines that you can spend 2 or 3 hours ripping about..

Yeah lets get someone who will rant and scream 24/7 and let the wounded economy, war, etc fester for the next guy to clean up.

That has worked so well before :sarcasm:

Economy adds 431K jobs but few in private sector

WASHINGTON – Job creation by private companies grew at the slowest pace since the start of the year, as a wave of census hiring lifted payrolls by 431,000 in May.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________Cap collecting Gulf oil, still unclear how much

GRAND ISLE, La. – A cap collected some of the oil spewing out of the blown-out Gulf well, but black crude was still leaking into the sea, and officials said they won't know until later Friday how much is
being captured.

'Furious' Obama heading to Gulf for spill update

WASHINGTON – Determined to project both command and compassion, President Barack Obama is returning to the Louisiana coast for a fresh reality check on work to stanch the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico and the spiraling effects of the nation's worst environmental disaster. The president underscored the mounting political implications by abruptly canceling plans for a trip to Indonesia and Australia later this month.

4-day school weeks gain popularity across US

Peach County is one of more than 120 school districts across the country where students attend school just four days a week, a cost-saving tactic gaining popularity among cash-strapped districts struggling to make ends meet. The 4,000-student district started shaving a day off its weekly school calendar last year to help fill a $1 million budget shortfall.

Gates: No wider role for military now in oil spill

SINGAPORE – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is rejecting a more forceful role for the military in plugging the Gulf of Mexico oil leak.

Gates says the deep-water disaster is beyond the military's expertise.

Oil company BP is using its own equipment to try to stop the leak — equipment the U.S. military does not have.

2. Freakin' Joe
You know, I basically wake up these days, put on the Weather Channel, then turn on MJ for about a minute on the off chance they're talking about something interesting. As usual, this morning there was nothing interesting in my one minute. However, I got a kick out of stupid Joe going on about how with what's happening in the Gulf, the president and his press secretary look dopey for talking about how angry the president is.

This is the bullshit that makes me slap my head again and again with teh pundits. They create a storyline by asking stupid questions and then slamming Obama and his team for responding to their stupid questions. Only, of course, they never point out that he was responding to stupid questions. They just act as if the president and his people are talking about these things unprompted. I didn't hear Joe slamming the reporters for asking again and again if Gibbs can give details about how the president shows his anger. Just Gibbs and Obama take the hit for talking about it.

Of course, I only gave him a minute, so maybe he did slam the reporter. HA! As if.

4. One person that surprises me is Chuck Todd, I have heard
him actually defend the President's record several times on the oil mess lately.
