Well if the nanny state has to help you in the washroom...that is WAY TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION!! Never mind, the invasion of privacy issues...

Why?

Because they are afraid of the Press, afraid the press will wake up from their great slumber and start doing their jobs.

They are afraid BamBam's debate performance has shattered the naked Emperor syndrome.

Obviously, the reporters are spineless poltroons. "An escort to go to the loo? Here, let me use your leg instead..."

Obama is approving child soldiers. I'll bet the press won't be talking about this much.. not if they want access to the president or v.p.

Likely the BamBam campaign didn't want the reporters to find out most of the crowd was getting overtime pay to be there.

Black Mamba, the reply from AJ Kandy fellow referring to the CBC poll kind of scares me. What if Obama were to decide to seek election north of the border, 'cause he'd just have to flash that smile and all would bow to his greatness? Ottawa does have the most golf courses per capita. And that not being Canadian issue? Well, maybe he was born here after all?

Although it would likely be lots of fun to watch Obama and Trudeau having to go head to head, and then watch the leftists' heads explode.

I would suggest to America's crazy uncle Joe Biden that he drop by the pharmacy and pick up one of those inflateable rubber donuts. He'll need it to sit on after the massive butt kicking he's going to get when he debates future VP Paul Ryan.

Funny - haven't heard Obozo nor the VP spiking the football on Bin Laden these days. hummmm....

Then we have the cases where reputable researchers studying the same thing just plain get different results. Tracking down the experimental errors can take years, in such cases.

If you're in the media and visit many communist countries, you're provided with a government apparatchik. The same mentality has arrived in Obama's America, folks.

Mamba, I almost blew a nut laughing about that tweet where they quote a CBC poll to convince themselves that Bammy did good.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
