Failing Economy...Whaaa?

So if you bother actually read the news the past few days (many people I talk to can't handle the news so they don't bother) you would forget the the sky is actually falling. Apparently the most important thing going on is some douchebag governor in Illinois tried to extract political favors to fill a vacant Senate seat.

First of all, am I supposed to be surprised that a governor wants political favors for a big appointment like that? Second, will they please stop trying to tie Obama into every single story about it (and using pictures of him shaking his hand or the like). No one around him is accused of any wrong doing (maybe Rahm, but that looks like a BIG stretch...I hope). He should be focused on making sure we still have an economy next year, which I find quite a bit more important.

And as an aside...The Day the Earth Stood Still....hilarious...
