Barney Frank in his disgusting tirade the other day decided to deride the Boston Herald and Fox TV News.........not smart...........
I was taught to "pick and choose "your battles.....and it is not good to argue with media outlets since you may win a "day's war" , but they publish and broadcast everyday.......
So....... Today's Herald has a headline which mentions that the new Republican majority Congress will be investigating how the Mortgage Industry was bailed out with Federal money, and what Barney had to do with it.He will be "stripped" of his Leadership position......and he will be a target in the months to come...It appears that his relevance will be diminished.....how ironic.....
Do you think the Herald will keep us informed ?.........
In Another Story;
The media has been reporting on the President's Trip to India........The line involves the security and cost associated with it.......34 US Naval Ships , 40 Vehicles , 800 Hotel Rooms,200 Staffers, and untold Military........
This does not bother me for various reasons.....
First, I order to win the War in Afghanistan it is essential that we have the support of India and to get them to cooperate with their bitter enemy,Pakistan (see: Obama Wars,Woodworth )..........
Second, If you accept that.....then you know statesmanship, security and support is necessary........and in reality all the equipment and staff mentioned above are already accounted for in the budget,and much of the cost is being spent whether in India or in the USA.....The World is smaller.....and it is the cost of not being isolationist....
