Now I have read it all

h/t susiemadrak.com for this one.

I read Frank Rich yesterday and he alluded to a similar thing and it gave me pause.  But this article, from the WAPO is mind numbing.

But skeptics say Obama’s predilection for big thinkers with dazzling résumés carries risks, noting, for one, that several of President John F. Kennedy’s “best and brightest” led the country into the Vietnam War. Obama is to be credited, skeptics say, for bringing with him so few political acquaintances from Illinois. But, they say, his team reflects its own brand of insularity, drawing on the world that Obama entered as an undergraduate at Columbia and in which he later rose to eminence as president of the Harvard Law Review and as a law professor at the University of Chicago.

I get it, he should put the CEO’s of all the fortune 500 companies that have dazzled the country with their Brilliance and success? I mean, we go from an administration that riddled the Dept of Justice with lawyers from Regents University? We had a guy that was a horse judge run FEMA? And now, that damned liberal MSM is going to complain about Obama appointing…wait for it….smart people? Rhodes Scholars, MIT and Stanford Grads and others from Ivy League institutions? He should be appointing the CEO from Astra Zeneca to run the FDA?

jesus christ…I’m going to be sick reading this…continue on if you can. liberul media my ass

Letter to Senator Shelby

Last week, Senator Shelby from Alabama spoke out about government subsidies for manufacturing in the US.  He is definitely against and thinks that subsidizing manufacturing is French.

The CEO from Compuware writes to the Senator to remind him of the subsidies his state provided for Mercedes Benz:

I am sure you were adamantly against the State of Alabama offering lucrative incentives (in essence, subsidies) to Mercedes Benz in the early 1990s to lure the German automobile manufacturer to the State.

As it turned out, Alabama offered a stunning $253 million incentive package to Mercedes. Additionally, the State also offered to train the workers, clear and improve the site, upgrade utilities, and buy 2,500 Mercedes Benz vehicles. All told, it is estimated that the incentive package totaled anywhere from $153,000 to $220,000 per created job. On top of all this, the State gave the foreign automaker a large parcel of land worth between $250 and $300 million, which was coincidentally how much the company expected to invest in building the plant.
