Factory equipment sales-tax waiver gets committee nod
"Makes sense. One has to actually invest in California to get the exemption. Most every state has a similar law, and we need to do whatever we can to retain manufacturing jobs- - the proven road to the middle class."

Boehner Slaps NRCC Chairman's Wrist in Chained CPI Spat
"I used to think that the perfect example of "chutzpah" (unmitigated gall) was the guy who killed his mother and father and then threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan.
But that's topped by the NRCC's Greg Walden--whose party wants to slash Social Security and turn Medicare into a voucher program--complaining that President Obama's budget is "an attack on seniors." Even John Boehner knows that's absurd."

President Barack Obama apologizes for comment on California Attorney General Kamala Harris' looks
"President Barack Obama’s comment to the Honorable Attorney General Kamala Harris was taken waaay
out of context. Certainly, innuendos of this nature could be construed as subliminal and inappropriate;
depending of course, on where, when, how and why the words were transpired in the first place.
Was this the case? I would think not. Not being there, I feel that President Obama was merely happy
to be in an environment where he could relate to like “minds” and “experiences.” It is apparent that
he felt that he shared a similar culture and experience as the Attorney General. This type of connection is highly irregular and totally uncommon, so when it occurs, one could only think to make the best of the situation. Can one imagine Attorney General Harris standing between the President and U.S. Attorney General, The Honorable Eric Holder? That photo would get a million hits without a by-line.
The President’s comment was his gift to her. The price tag increased because of the time it took to add the apology to the calculated cost of his time. This is the amount that Atty. Gen. Harris should add to her “gifts received” report. First Lady Michelle Obama is the real gem and she knows it.
The climate of intellectualization that was responsible for making the President and Atty. Gen. “look good” politically were evidently not the same people who should have used more scientific-based copy writing instead of the creative writing used to describe “My Fair Lady” or “Mary Poppins.”
What did President Obama and Atty. Gen. Harris have in common? They are both good looking, and ”it takes one to know one.” I do not believe any harm was done by the President’s comment. On the other hand, if what the president said wasn’t true, then he would owe an apology for telling a lie. Either way, he was caught in a quagmire that diverted too much attention away from North Korea. Enough already."
