To comment on classicalsteve from Oakland, CA's post. The most
important point was, as with ANY business situation. : Do your homework
on current market values! I don't think in the case of Pawn stars that
these guys necessarily make an offer based on what YOU think you should
get for it, but rather, what they think or know they can get for the
item. No different than any other wholesale to retail business.
Although there are similarities to antique roadshow, these guys are offering INSTANT CASH in most cases. When they are unsure of an items value, they bring in experts in their field, and they do it while the customer is there. It is funny when the expert says an item is worth 3000 retail and then the customer expects 3000. As Rick says over and over, I can't stay in business paying retail.
As to Steve's comments on collectibles; I don't think they are making 10x what an item is worth. Anyone that stupid to sell so cheaply deserves to get hammered in my opinion. If you are a collector, then you should be doing your own homework on channels to sell through, and there are plenty of them. If you feel your best option is to sell to a pawn broker, then what would you be expecting? Steve, I'd like to know in your opinion, what exactly the value of "culture" is, as you state in your post. They are pawn brokers. That's what the show is about. Your post suggests that the SELLERS of the items are not interested in the money, which is clearly not the case. Every single person is most interested in what they can get for their item. And I also don't agree with your assessment of "the poor seller at their mercy due to lack of knowledge." Knowledge is something that can be acquired, and sellers should obviously have acquired some concerning their items value before entering the arena of buying and selling. Also how could they tell the buyer what they intend to resell the item for when they really never KNOW what they're going to get. Market forces are constantly at work. Personally I think you paint a picture here that these guys are crooks, when in reality, this is business as usual. Buy low, sell high. You are clearly not a businessman. The interaction between the characters is highly entertaining, and somewhat informative as well.
I have just recently gotten into Pawn Stars and I find it to be a great
mix of entertainment and history lessons. The main draw for me is the
simple give and take that goes on between the Pawn Store operators and
the people who bring items in looking to make quick money. Clearly the
biggest draw for this show is Rick, the pawn store owner. Although his
dad (the old man) and his son (big hoss) are big parts of the show, it
is Rick who makes this show interesting and worthwhile. I don't think
that Hollywood could have scripted someone who could make a pawn store
owner a truly likable and complex individual. Rick manages to show
interest and respect to every person who brings in something for sale
while managing to explain his position in understandable terms. The
bottom line is that a pawn shop is a place for people in need of quick
cash to sell just about anything, just at bargain basement prices. If
someone wants to get maximum money for their goods they would have to
do market research, team up with a reputable auction house, or go on
ebay and roll the dice that someone may make a high enough bid.
Otherwise, you can go for the easy money of a pawn shop (albeit much
less money.)
A couple of final notes about the characters on the show, as I stated earlier Rick is far and away the star of the show and he is really what makes it watchable. His father doesn't contribute a whole lot other than some standard old man talk. His son (Big Hoss) is pretty much a waste of space and contributes nothing to the show unless you like to watch a very (very) large person walking around in Ed Hardy jeans acting like some kind of tough guy. He is a very simple person, clearly having missed many of the complexities of human nature possessed by his father. Finally, Chumlee is one of the most enjoyable characters ever to grace television, the large man-child with a good heart and a simple mind. All in all I would definitely recommend watching this show to anyone.
No, these men are not trying to "rip off" anybody. Having a pro come in and give a value is not a "rip off". They have to (I would think) pay the people that come in to evaluate an item. No one is forcing these sellers to go through with any deal. The Pawn Stars are there to make a profit/living. They are not going to pay $100 for an item valued at $100. Get it? Next time you watch the show, pay attention. They state over and over that they can't make a profit by paying what the item is valued at. They have to store it, clean it, move it, tag it etc. all involving labor. Labor is not free. I am a mechanic and I don't give MY labor away. You Pawn Star haters, get a life. 8/11: Update: The show is staged, also. Not quite real. Of course it is better than that Hard Core Pawn junk. THAT show is 100% fake. Every customer is a screaming, raving maniac? Not likely. I tried watching that one a few times, but, the staged bickering between family members got old quick. Pawn Stars is a pleasure to watch. Hard Core is an insult to my inellagance...intellerjents...intel...SMARTS!

I enjoy this show. Although I think some of the situations are fairly
obviously set up it provides good entertainment. Added to this it
provides the viewer with an education of what certain things are worth
and also how to spot a fake.
A lot of the stuff which comes in covers American History and it is always interesting to see the artifacts which have been dug out of people's lofts.
The interaction between the three generations of Harrisons along with the rather stupid Chumlee is always good for a laugh. Usually Chumlee messes something up each week ......
Hubby and I were looking for something on one night (lets face it, 500
channels and mostly nothing of worth on to watch) so we switched to
this show out of boredom.
Honestly, its fascinating.
I LOVE this show.
The interaction between the owners and the workers is great to watch. Last night gave me a total laugh when the father said his son was too busy to ride the balloon and Chum was too stupid (and btw, he is. I swear the guys nearly mentally retarded, just not quite which only makes him stupid).
And the items that these guys pick up are just incredible. I'd LOVE to visit this store just once. They must have a treasure trove of museum quality items.
If I'm ever in Vegas, I'm heading to this shop.
I like reality shows about interesting people going about their daily routine especially when it too is interesting. This show revolves around a pawn shop in Las Vegas and there are apparently a lot of strange things that happen there so there are going to be some interesting things for people to want to sell. So we get to see during each episode some interesting stuff people bring in, some rare stuff, and some just plain strange things. You also get to see people haggle over price, people getting mad when they are told their stuff is not worth all that much money, and people get really happy as they find their stuff is worth a fortune. The show centers around a dad, his father and the son. It also has a guy called Chumlee who I just can not believe he is as stupid as he appears to be. All the guys are interesting, it is fun to watch when one of them buys something not worth anything and then the others pounce. The show is humorous to go along with seeing all the interesting things people bring in. Things that people have sold on the show include very rare coins, hot air balloons, numerous cars and a whole bunch of other stuff. Things they have not bought include a car that was obvious crap that the guy who was trying to sell it got ticked off when Rick (the dad) backed off after a person with mechanical experience looked at it. All in all a fun show to watch.
Love it! Basically, it's entertaining, but my family always learns something. Regarding the comments about motive, everyone and anyone on the show is in it for a buck, including those selling items. As for what's on the show and it being hand-picked. Of course it is. No, we don't want to see the everyday stuff. It's the History Channel for goodness sake. We want to learn, to see unique items -- items we might not otherwise know about or experience. Loved the stamp as currency. Who knew!! That's what it's all about. The audience wants to soak up history! Just enjoy the show for what it is. Love all the characters, too, esp. Chum and Rick. If I ever make it to Vegas, the pawn shop is on my list of must-sees! A
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I started watching this series from the git go. It was really good until this year (2013). I found the items that the people brought in to pawn or sell very interesting. I learned some very entertaining and even educational stuff at times. The give and take between the "stars" of the show was funny at times but I think it is now taking over the episodes. There is so much interaction with the big boys, both figuratively and literally, that the true purpose of the show is now secondary to the wise cracks, bitching about Chumlee, and watching the Old Man sleep. I used to have the DVR set to record the show but now I just don't watch it anymore.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I enjoy this program. Every week we get a look into the world of not only pawn shops, but trivia on items we may never get a chance to see in real life.. I am not saying every item is worth it, but usually there are one or two that peak my interest. In regards to another comment on the show taking people for all they are worth and manipulating people, I do not believe that is the point of the show for two reasons. 1) The people are free to walk out without making a deal and 2) He tells people directly he is not a retail shop, auction, or collector and he has to make some money off of the item. Most people understand what pawn shops are for, and the customers do have the option of pawning (being able to get item back) or selling. I like the interaction between the semi-dysfuncional family and Chumlee who seems to be an adopted-like member. I would recommend this show if you want a humorous and informative way to pass the time.
I was interested at first, but as I learned that the show is fake and
uses actors and items that are from museums, I was set back. Also REAL
customers have widely reported that the main characters are usually not
there and show up only when the show's been shot.
For me, I am interested to see old items and learn their history, but this show is an anticlimax fest where almost non of the items are real or valuable or even rare. And using items from museums and private collections, it's just pathetic.
I don't like their attitudes and the show is overall sort of vaguely interesting, but its fakeness makes it difficult to watch.

Practise Pilates for a Better Body
Pilates is a new fitness craze around the world and is catching up fast right here - in India! So the faster you acclimatize yourself with this new fitness fad, the easier it will be to decide if you want to do it or not. So is pilates here to stay? Lets find out.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk. In addition, pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's "core" or "powerhouse" (torso). People who do pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.
Pilates is essentially a physical fitness system developed in the 20th century by Joseph Pilates from Germany and it was originally used to rehabilitate bedridden or immobile patients during World War I.
How is Pilates different from yoga?
Both Yoga and Pilates have similarities and many differences. While both are mind – body exercises (exercises that require the right balance of mindfulness, correct postures and concentrated breathing to enjoy all the benefits they have to offer), Yoga goes a step further and is a teaching of mind, body, and spirit, adding the spiritual angle.
While Pilates has its origins in Yoga asanas, Yoga is not merely a physical exercise but is designed to facilitate serious contemplation. In other words, it tries to provide an integrated approach towards objective and transcendental knowledge. Stronger muscles, stress relief and improved circulation are essentially by-products of practicing Yoga. Pilates on the other hand, primarily tries to strengthen the core stability muscles of our body to improve the way we function in our daily lives.
Pilates isn't a life philosophy, it is simply a series of exercises designed to improve the strength of our core muscles around the abdominals, hips and lower back.
Benefits of Pilates
- Provides a greater awareness of posture.
- Tones and builds long, lean muscles.
- Strengthens deep abdominal muscles.
- Helps with motivation by engaging our mind and enhancing body awareness.
- Reduces stress, relieves tension and boosts energy.
- Promotes recovery from strain or injury.
- Offers relief from back pain and joint stress.
- Compliments sports training and develops functional fitness for daily life.
Should you try it out?
Yes, if you want to try something new that compliments your current routine. If you already do Yoga, you could try Pilates for a variation and it's quite possible that you can do two completely different classes without them overlapping. If you don't do Yoga currently then Pilates is most certainly a valuable addition to your fitness routine, and can help you achieve a long, strong and lean frame.

Betty White Is Still 'Golden' and Far From Retiring
Beginning with a stint on Al Jarvis' variety show 'Hollywood on Television' in 1949, White's dizzying resume spans six decades. Sixty years, people! She is known to most of us, depending on birth date and/or generation, as Happy Homemaker Sue Ann Nivens from 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' and the naive and sweet-natured Rose Nylund from 'The Golden Girls.' But before her sitcom stardom, White appeared on numerous talk shows and daytime game shows, earning the title 'First Lady of Game Shows,' along with the first Emmy awarded to a woman for Outstanding Game Show Host in 1983.
"I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet," White has said of her career.
And despite her track record for playing sickeningly sweet, innocent types, the seasoned 88-year-old has a wry sense of humor that often catches people off-guard. Her SAG Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech being a prime example.
"I look out and see so many famous faces... I actually know many of you and I've worked with quite a few," she said. "Maybe had a couple. And you know who you are."
White recently told USA Today that she credits her dad with bringing out her naughty side/sense of humor.
"I think from sitting around the Sunday morning breakfast table with Mom and Dad. Dad was a traveling salesman, and he would bring his jokes home. He would say, 'Honey, you can take that joke to school, but I wouldn't take that one.' That's where the double-entendres came from. What you don't say is funnier than what you do. Now they let it all hang out. It's all single-entendre."
Speaking of entendres, White's favorite is a little quip about Robert Redford.
"My answer to the question 'What haven't you done in your career' is always Robert Redford," she told the paper. "I've never met him and I would be embarrassed if I did."
We imagine Redford would be more than happy to welcome an introduction. Who wouldn't be? Here's hoping we see a lot more of Betty White in the future, whether on the small screen or silver one. It's pretty clear that if White has her say, and she should, she's not going anywhere.
"I was only 88 [two weeks ago], so I have lots more stuff to do," she said. "Retirement isn't in my vocabulary."

The Harvest Bow
By Seamus Heaney
The end of art is peace
Could be the motto of this frail device
That I have pinned up on our deal dresser—
Like a drawn snare
Slipped lately by the spirit of the corn
Yet burnished by its passage, and still warm.
Seamus' "digging" produced poetry and compared with the harvest wheaten bow his father had woven at the end of summer, both confirming the motto that "the end of art is peace". Noli temere.
A moving farewell to a great poet. Thank you. How strange, I keep thinking, that his last words were *texted* -- a sign of our times, I guess. And also appropriate, in a way, for a writer to get out his last words in a kind of print (or text).
rest in peace and keep on eye on us, humble students of your poetry, with your always sweet, content look
How much you must have understood! Now le mot juste does not come up! You were the only one who could turn all instincts into the best images! Thank you! You are still with us
The world needs more poetry. Rest in peace Mr. Heaney
A good tribute to a great man. May he rest in peace.
On August 30th, on a park bench in NYC, HONY (Humans of New York) approached a girl wanting to take her picture. Her face was sad and she was feeling introspective because of the passing of Seamus Heaney. That picture of her face on their website stuck with me until this time when I read this beautiful tribute to him and understand her loss.

He conjured up word-images of an enduring grace and humanity that transcended the brutal intolerances and conflicts that remain embedded, with hopefully a fading potency, in the Irish psyche. Unfortunately, some of his beautifully crafted words have been plundered selectively and worn down into cliches by politicians seeking to sanctify their grubby deals that half-arsedly attempt to resolve some of these conflicts. Alas, now that he is gone and can't resist, the plundering will increase to sanctify even grubbier deals to suppress conflicts that can and have to be confronted and resolved if Ireland is to prosper and flourish in the future.

I must admit I don't really 'get' poetry but that's more about me than him. Rest in Peace.
I believe it was rather sudden at the end. Hence the text message.
Beautiful obituary; as lyrical as his poetry.

Barack Obama Says, "American People Will Want that "New Car Smell" with "Not Much Mileage" For the 2016 Presidential Campaign
In an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos, President Barack Obama made some rather peculiar comments with regards to Hillary Clinton. When asked about Hillary Clinton and her possible run for president in 2016, Obama said the following, "… she and a number of other possible Democrat candidates would be terrific presidents." Obama then went on to say, "if she decides to run, I think she will be a formidable candidate. I think she will make a great president". He did this while making a face, at the 1:04 mark. Then came the money line of the interview …
"I think the American people, you know, they're going to want that new car smell. You know, they want to drive something off the lot that — that doesn't have as much mileage as me."
I believe that Obama made a back-handed slap at Hillary Clinton referencing a "new car smell" and one with "not much mileage". However, mainly I think he was referring to himself as being so unpopular by 2016 rolls around that no one will probably want him stumping for them, much like in 2014. If you think Obama was toxic in 2014, just wait until 2016. What was a direct slap to Hillary was when he was specifically asked about her, Obama said that a number of other possible Democrat candidates would be terrific presidents. Hardly a ringing endorsement.
More ABC US news | ABC World News
"I think the American people, you know, they're going to want that new car smell," Obama said in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "You know, they want to drive something off the lot that — that doesn't have as much mileage as me."
"When you've been president for six years, you know, you've got some dings," Obama said. "You know, they're probably not going to be looking at me to campaign too much."
"I think at the end of two years if — if they want me to do some selective things, I'll be happy to do them, but I suspect that folks will be ready to see me go off to the next thing."
"I am very interested in making sure that I've got a Democratic successor," Obama said. "So I'm going to do everything I can, obviously, to make sure that whoever the nominee is, is successful."
She hasn't announced so I don't want to jump the gun," Obama said about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom he said he speaks with regularly. "If she decides to run, I think she will be a formidable candidate and I think she'd be a great president."
"She's not going to agree with me on everything," the President continued. "And, you know, one of the benefits of running for president is you can stake out your own positions — and have a clean slate, a fresh start."
UPDATE I: Obama Is Damaging Hillary's Chances.
Which leads perfectly into the WSJ article of how Barack Obama is damaging and will damage Hillary Clinton's presidential nominee chances. Hillary Clinton is linked directly to the Obama presidency and is hardly considered one with a "new car smell". Just like in 2014, Obama may not have been on the ballot, but his policies were. The same will hold true in 2016. Turnabout is fair play. Obama ran against GWB, Democrats are going to have to distance themselves from Obama.
President Obama 's high-risk immigration gamble may have severe consequences for Washington, the country and the Democratic Party, most of all Hillary Clinton .
Mrs. Clinton's putative bid for the Democratic presidential nomination is already running into trouble. The national exit poll from the recently completed midterm elections showed her with less than a majority of voters (43%) saying she would make a good president. When pitted against an unnamed Republican candidate, Mrs. Clinton lost 40% to 34%.
Those grim numbers followed on a September WSJ/NBC poll showing a plunge in Mrs. Clinton's favorability rating, to 43%, from 59% in 2009.

Former Mayor of Washington, DC Marion "Mayor for Life" Barry Dies at 78
Marion Barry dead at age 78.
Marion Barry, the former mayor of Washington, DC has passed away at the age of 78. Hospital spokeswoman Natalie Williams said Barry arrived at the hospital around 12:30 a.m. and died at 1:46 a.m. He had been released from Howard University Hospital on Saturday following a brief stay. There was no cause was given, but he had suffered from many health problems over the years, including diabetes, prostate cancer and kidney ailments. Barry was married four times and is survived by one son, Marion Christopher Barry.
Barry was first elected mayor in 1978, then re-elected in 1982 and 1986. However, Barry was probably most famous when he gained international notoriety in 1990 when he was videotaped in an FBI sting smoking crack in a downtown Washington hotel room with a female friend. He was convicted on one count of drug possession and sentenced to six months in prison. Unbelievably, after getting out of prison, Barry was elected to a fourth, and final, term as mayor in 1994. It probably spoke more to the disarray of DC than anything else.
Former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry, whose four terms were overshadowed by his 1990 arrest after being caught on videotape smoking crack cocaine, died Sunday morning. He was 78.
Barry D.C. council spokeswoman LaToya Foster says he died shortly after midnight Sunday at a hospital in Washington. He had battled kidney problems stemming from diabetes and high blood pressure and underwent a kidney transplant in February 2009.
But he gained international notoriety in 1990 when he was videotaped in an FBI sting smoking crack in a downtown Washington hotel room with a female friend. He was convicted of a single count of drug possession — jurors had deadlocked on most counts — and sentenced to six months in prison.
Despite the embarrassment, Barry's political career was far from over. In 1992, he made it back to city government, winning a council seat representing the poorest of the city's eight wards. That victory helped propel him to a fourth, and final, term as mayor in 1994.
UPDATE I: Barack Obama paid tribute to the late mayor:
Dude, really? I guess if you overlook that little crack thing. (VIDEO)
President Obama on Sunday paid tribute to the late Marion Barry, saying the former Washington, D.C., mayor and councilman made a mark fighting against poverty and spearheading other initiatives that earned him the respect of his city.

Remember When Emperor Barack Obama Said He Did Not Have the Power to Take Executive Action on Immigration?
Not only does the Emperor have no clothes, he has no credibility and no Constitutional authority …
Remember when Emperor Barack Obama said the following:
- "I take the Constitution very seriously, the biggest problems that we facing right now is George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the Executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that is what I intend to reverse when I am President of the United States of America."
- "There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system."
- "For me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president."
- "With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that's just not the case."
- "There are laws on the books that I have to enforce".
- "If in fact I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so."
- "This notion that I can change laws unilaterally is just not true".
Really Mr. President? Because last night when you announced your executive order on immigration, you pretty much did a 180 on every single previous remark you have ever made on the issue. So much for the rule of law and the US Constitution. If Barack Obama cared so much about these families and even went so far to cite scripture, why didn't he do it sooner? Just curious, does Obama care about the American legal citizens whose families are about t be affected by this influx? How about all the people who came to the United States legally?
VIDEO Hat Tip: Washington Free Beacon
The president will also announce plans to shift enforcement efforts, ordering federal law enforcement officers to narrow their focus to those illegal immigrants with criminal records, gang affiliations or ties to terrorism.
And Obama will expand the total number of high-tech visas that are available, as well as loosen restrictions so that more would-be entrepreneurs can travel legally to the United States to launch companies.
The president and other Cabinet and senior administration officials plan to "fan out" across the country over the coming weeks in order to promote the executive actions, according to one aide.
The moves are all aimed at "bringing some accountability to our broken immigration system," a senior administration official said Thursday.
The biggest change to the immigration system will be a new program that allows the parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to apply for work permits and deferred deportation.
An estimated 4 million parents will be eligible for the initiative. They are people who have been in the United States for at least five years and have no felony convictions but are currently in the country illegally.
Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC on Barack Obama's Immigration Plan (VIDEO) … "I Haven't Found a Single Elected Democrat in Washington" that Can Legally Justify It
This does not happen very often, a host at MSNBC has a lucid moment. Although he bypassed many parts of Barack Obama's intended immigration changes, even though they are Unconstitutional, Lawrence O'Donnell questioned his panel to give him the legal justification. O'Donnell states, I have not found a single elected Democrat in Washington that could give me the legal justification that allows Obama to do this. You know it is mad when even MSNBC questions a Democrat president.
Democrat Senate Votes Down XL Keystone Pipeline And Thousands of American Jobs … Sen. Landrieu (D-LA) "Fail Mary" Falls Incomplete
The Harry Reid, Democrat lead Senate has shot down the vote for the passage of Bill (S.2280 ), a bill to approve the XL Keystone pipeline, 59-41. All the begging to save her Louisiana Senate seat was for naught as Se. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) failed in her efforts to get the Democrat support for the passage of the bill. It fell one vote short. All of the 41 "nay"votes against passage were Democrats or so-called Independents who caucus with Democrats. This was a political vote in a cynical attempt to help Landrieu, where Democrats had no intention of having this bill pass. The bill had been blocked by Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for coming up for a vote for years.
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday narrowly failed to pass a bill that would have approved construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, rejecting a measure the House of Representatives approved last week.
The vote count was 59-41 in favor, but 60 "ayes" would have been needed to assure passage. Fourteen Democrats voted for the bill, joining all 45 Republicans who voted to support the pipeline.
Look for the GOP to bring this bill up again in the new year when they have control of the Senate following the 2014 midterm shellacking. Republicans are not done yet with this, but Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu is. It hardly makes her look influential as she could not get her party to pass the legislation. This all but seals her fate in her upcoming Louisiana Senate runoff election against Bill Cassidy. Her poll numbers were already bad, now this is a green light for voters to elect a Republican to get this passed in the newly elected US. Senate. Republican leadership have guaranteeing her opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, a seat on the energy committee. The House GOP also had him sponsor their own Keystone authorization bill, which was easily approved Friday on a 252-161 vote.
The Senate blocked a measure Tuesday that would have authorized construction of the Keystone XL pipeline as Democrats chose their pro-environment base over an old friend — embattled Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu.
The vote could just be a speedbump for the Keystone project, with Republicans ready to try again — with much better odds of success — once they take control of the Senate in January.
"This will be an early item on the agenda in the next Congress," incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said after Tuesday night's vote.

GRUBERGATE: In 2006 Barack Obama Seemed to Know Who Jonathan Gruber Was … "I Have Stolen ideas From Liberally"
Wasn't it just the other day that Barack Obama seemingly disassociated himself from Jonathan Gruber as some adviser who never worked on his staff.
Flashback to 2006, speaking at the launch of the Brookings Institute's Hamilton Project (Full video), then Senator Barack Obama had nothing but praise for MIT economist Jonathan Gruber saying that he was one of the "brightest minds from academia and policy circles" and someone who he had "stolen ideas from liberally".
"You have already drawn some of the brightest minds from academia and policy circles, many of them I have stolen ideas from liberally, people ranging from Robert Gordon to Austan Goolsbee; Jon Gruber; my dear friend, Jim Wallis here, who can inform what are sometimes dry policy debates with a prophetic voice."

GRUBERGATE:The Liar in Chief President Obama Says Regarding Gruber's Remarks, "No, We Did Not Mislead to Get Obamacare Passed"
Yesterday in Brisbain, Australia Barack Obama finally was asked the question, did you misled the American people with regards to Obamacare. Wouldn't it have been amazing id he said, YES, you caught me. But, in typical Obama fashion, he denied the allegation and then went off on a tangent explaining away the accusation and never really providing any valid facts to support his denial. All you have done in your six years in office is mislead the American people. President Obama, you have already lied about you can keep your insurance plan and doctor, if you like them … why wouldn't we think you lied about everything else to pass Obamacare?
Ed Henry – Fox News: At you Burma town hall a couple of days ago you tried to inspire young leaders by saying governments need to be held accountable and be responsive to the people. I wonder how you square that with your former adviser Jonathan Gruber claiming that you were not transparent about the health law, because in his words, 'the American people, the voters, were stupid' (VIDEO). Did you mislead Americans about the taxes, about keeping your plan, to get the bill passed?
Barack Obama: No. I did not. I just heard about this. I get well briefed before I come out here. The fact that some adviser, who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion, that I completely disagree with, in terms of the voters, is no reflection of the process that was run. We had a year long debate Ed. Go back and look at your stories. The one thing we cannot say is that we did not have a lengthy about health care in the United States of America. Or that it was not adequately covered. I would just advise every press outlet here to go back and pull up every clip, every story, and I think it is fair to say that there was not a provision in the health care law that was not extensively debated and fully transparent.
First, Obama just heard about this? You mean he can't remember one of the many meetings with Jonathan Gruber in the White House? Good grief, Obama is using that tired response of he just learned about the issue from the news? Where have we heard that before, maybe in the following VIDEO.
Second, Just curious, does it make an adviser less credible if he did not work directly on Obama's staff? There are these people called consultants Barack. Who would actually believe that the architect of Obamacare, also the architect of Romneycare, would actually work directly for the President? This sounds an awful lot like the Cheers episode when Cliff was on Jeopardy answering the final Jeopardy question … "who are three people who have never been in my kitchen."
Third, read the following quote from Obama, "The fact that some adviser, who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion, that I completely disagree with, in terms of the voters, …" All Obama disagrees with is Gruber's remark that the American voters are stupid. Obama is not saying that he disagrees with the rest of the misleading comments.
Fourth, Barack Obama claimed that the health care debate was extensive, adequately covered and transparent. Hmm really? So why did Nancy Pelosi famously say, "We Have to Pass Our Bill So That You Can Find Out What Is In It."
Fifth, President Obama, do you really want everyone going back and taking a look at every clip and news account? Look what happened so far by those on the right and bloggers.
Sixth, fully transparent? The Obamacare you can keep your plan if you like it was already awarded the 2013 Politifact lie of the Year. It would appear you are looking to win the award two years in a row. As Jonathan Gruber said, "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage."
Seventh, no asked the question whether Obamacare was extensively debated. However, what good is a debate when the premise is based on a lie that is being discussed?
On a completely different lie, check out the 2:20 mark of the Obama VIDEO where miraculously Obama comes up with all of these stats for the Healthcare.gov web site now that it is not crashing all the time. Remember last year when Obama minions were asked for the same type of data and we were told they did not have access to it.
Yeah Mr. President, Obamacare is working … that is why the majority of Americans have not even been affected by it because you delayed it.

CBS Face the Nation Host Bob Schieffer Dumb Struck by Obamacare Adviser Jonathan Gruber's Comments … "I Am Not Wild About the New Plan and How It Became Law Either"
I wonder who was more "dumb struck" this Sunday morning, CBS Bob Shiefer or the public watching CBS and hearing for the first hearing Jonathan Gruber's name and that an Obamacare adviser called them stupid?
This Sunday on CBS 'Face the Nation,' Bob Shieffer provided an editorial that was interesting on a couple of levels. First, how many time do news viewers hear an editorial that is breaking news? CBS News has not covered this story, unless you count the 13 seconds on The Eye Opener. Second, we learned that Shieffer, a lib, is not a fan of Obamacare, nor how the plan became law. However, Bob does need a little learning to have a couple of his questions answered. Mr. Schieffer, Gruber does not think the plan was bad. In fact, he likes it. He, like Barack Obama, knew that the truth of Obamacare would never pass, that is why they lied to the American people. But the ends justify the means and lying to "We the People" is fine in their book.
I was dumbstruck when I heard the comments surfacing from and economist named Jonathan Gruber who was paid $400,000 to help shape the presidents health care plan. First, he told us how the plan passed only because a lack of transparency and this is a direct quote, 'the stupidity of the American people'. [...] I'll be honest, while I favor health insurance, I am not wild about the new plan and how it became law either. Here is my question for Mr. Gruber, if all this was as bad as you say, why did you take the money you earned as an adviser? Nor is it to late to give it back. What we have here is another example of the sorry state of American politics where people take money for things in which they don't believe and whether it is good for the America people is not even a question.
No, what we have here is a sorry state of American politics where we have a President of the United States who perpetrated the greatest hoax on the American people and a complicit media who cared Obama's water by never asking any questions about a health care plan that many knew was a lie. Let's get some facts correct, the "stupidity of the American people" that Gruber is referring to is Obamacare supporters, not Conservatives and Republicans. Take a look at the Obamacare polls from the outset at RCP, it has always been widely opposed.
A government, no matter what party is in office, is supposed to be questioned by an unbiased media. The Press is supposed to protect us from an out of control government, not be their propaganda machine. However, today's MSM has no concept why the US Constitution provided Freedom of the Press.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. See U.S. Const. amend. I. Freedom of expression consists of the rights to freedom of speech, press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and the implied rights of association and belief. The Supreme Court interprets the extent of the protection afforded to these rights. The First Amendment has been interpreted by the Court as applying to the entire federal government even though it is only expressly applicable to Congress. Furthermore, the Court has interpreted, the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as protecting the rights in the First Amendment from interference by state governments.

TV Anchor Melissa Francis Reveals That She Was Silenced When She Questioned the "Math of Obamacare" On the Air at CNBC
Melissa Francis, the current anchor of 'Money with Melissa Francis' on the Fox Business Channel revealed Friday that she was silenced when she was an anchor at CNBC by execs when she dared question the math of Obamacare. She was told that she was disrespecting the office of the presidency by having the audacity of pointing out the obvious to her viewers, that the math of Obamacare simply didn't work, in that you couldn't add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their pre-existing conditions without raising the price on everyone else. Scolded by management for questioning the government? Really, isn't that their job and a reason why we have a Freedom of the Press? This was a business show, how could any responsible individual not ask or point out such a simple premise? But not for the suits at CNBC, they might as well called her a racist as well. But when you are the liberal MSM, part of the Democrat/Obama media complex simply in place to be a propaganda vehicle, you must silence all opposition to liberal policy, especially when it is a lie.
Jonathon Gruber telling you that the architects of Obamacare think that you that you are stupid. And most importantly they are counting on your lack of economic understanding. They are not the only villains in this story. They are also depending on the liberal media to cover up the truth. So far NBC, ABC, the Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press, and others, have been only too happy to comply. Those outlets have not even mentioned the video evidence from Jonathan Gruber. It's shocking, but it actually doesn't surprise me because when I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of Obamacare simply didn't work. Not the politics by the way. But just the basic math. And when I did that, I was silenced.

"It's shocking, but it actually doesn't surprise me because when I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of Obamacare simply didn't work. Not the politics by the way. But just the basic math. And when I did that, I was silenced," Francis said.
"I said on the air that you couldn't add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their pre-existing conditions without raising the price on everyone else," she continued. "I pointed out that it couldn't possibly be true that if you like your plan, you can keep it. That was a lie. And in fact, millions of people had their plans canceled."
After making the comments, Francis said she was called into a meeting by management and told he was "disrespecting the office of the president."

I think we now know that Melissa Francis was 100% correct.
Liberal Media Double Standard: MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski of The Morning Joe … "If Gruber Were Republican, MSM Would Be Exploding"
The liberal media has avoided the Jonathon Gruber story like Ebola. As VIDEO after VIDEO after VIDEO after VIDEO appear of Gruber, the MIT professor who was also one of the architects and consultants of Obamacare, the liberal media Democrat complex is no where to be found. It is as if the liberal MSM was sucked into a black hole or were suddenly all put in the witness protection program as there has been a "virtual black out" of all Gruber's remarks as to how Obamacare was passed. What's the matter, is the media afraid of the truth? Or is it that they know they have now been nailed for the Obama water-carrying sycophants that they are?
You have to give credit where credit is due, even though the Libs at MSNBC tried to down play this. Sorry, Obamacare was the greatest HOAX ever perpetrated on the American people.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: This Obamacare story, which I saw yesterday and I'm surprised it didn't emerge . . . It's an interesting dynamic. This broke yesterday, we kind of, were trying to get to it. Nobody covered it except for some right-wing outlets. Had this been a Republican, what do you think would have happened?
MIKE BARNICLE: Well, he is, this century's version of David Stockman, who was Ronald Reagan's original budget director. In 1981, in an extensive magazine piece in the old Atlantic magazine by Bill Greider, former Washington Post editor, David Stockman sat down with him. He was Reagan's budget director, sat down with Bill Greider for many, many times, to explain the budget. And he said, basically, none of us really understands what any of these numbers are all about, the federal budget.
BRZEZINSKI: [facetiously] So let me guess, nobody dealt with it, right?
BARNICLE: President Reagan had no idea what those numbers were all about.
BRZEZINSKI: Just a few left-wing bloggers brought it up, right? It wasn't covered? I think there was a huge firestorm, I believe.
HOWARD DEAN: There was.
BRZEZINSKI: Exactly, that's my point!
BRZEZINSKI: That was a huge gaffe, right? We can all agree on that. I do think had it been a Republican, the media would be exploding.
DEAN: I think there's a big stature gaffe between the office, the Director of the OMB and a consultant for the — that's why it's not a big deal.
BRZEZINSKI: Okay, that's fair.

The clock is ticking.... If Congress doesn't raise the $14.3 trillion limit on federal borrowing by early August, the U.S. will run out of money and default on some of its financial obligations. Both the Obama administration and many economists warn that failing to raise the debt ceiling by the deadline could be "catastrophic," but a growing number of Republicans are skeptical. "I don't think it's going to have an adverse impact on the economy for the days or weeks or perhaps even months that this would continue," says Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). Other GOPers say a default could actually be beneficial, by forcing politicians to make difficult decisions. Are the GOP "default deniers" right?
The real catastrophe would be failing to corral spending: Defaulting on our debt due to a technicality wouldn't be "the end of the world," says billionaire money manager Stanley Druckenmiller, as quoted by The Wall Street Journal. If it takes a couple of extra days or weeks to prevent a future full-blown debt crisis like the one in Greece, the markets will understand. It's more important that we deal with "the real problem": Washington's out-of-control spending.
"What if the U.S. Treasury defaults?"
The GOP needs to "get sane": The Obama administration's position is backed by "pretty much every economist on both sides of the aisle," as well as "Wall Street and the business community," says Doug Mataconis at Outside the Beltway. Republicans will have to "swallow hard" and do the right thing by raising the debt ceiling before the deadline. "But I'm going to predict right now that it won't happen until the absolutely last possible minute. Because, you know, that's how we do things here."
"Will Republicans get sane on the debt ceiling?"
This battle will only hurt the Tea Party: House Speaker John Boehner may take this fight "down to the wire," says Kevin Drum at Mother Jones, under pressure from the Tea Partiers. But when the deadline comes, the "adults" in the GOP will vote to raise the debt ceiling, rather than commit political "suicide" by letting the U.S. default on its debts. Ultimately, "there's only so much idiocy that even Republicans can put up with," so the GOP establishment will "throw the Tea Partiers under the bus if it looks like they're seriously screwing things up."
