Night owl chat – That famous Obot, Michael McDonald (and a poem)

Earlier today I expressed my, um, less than fond regards for noted musician Michael McDonald. I was then made aware that Mr. McDonald is a fierce Obot, who has taken fan displeasure in speaking out for Pres. Obama. So, in expiation, some of Mr. McDonald’s oeuvre. BUT, only with the Doobie Brothers; I can go a lifetime without listening to “Sweet Freedom” again.

Paul Ryan voted for TARP, Medicare expansion, NCLB, the 2008 AND 2009 stimulus, Iraq War AND he hates gov't spending.

Lots of people were wrong on same-sex marriage 5 years ago. Few people are now and you should be ashamed to be one of them.

If I'd told you 5 years ago that the GOP would be so desperate in 2016 they'd run another Bush, you'd have said, "Yeah, that makes sense."

Since December, labor force has grown by 1.3 million, number of people employed has risen by 1.156 million. Yeah, very weak.

Reminder: Republicans used to support federal infrastructure spending to create jobs, before Obama was president.
