I generally like to avoid crap like this, because it makes me look like I am a part of the right wing echo chamber.
But if this right here is even remotely true, ol’ Barry could be looking at trouble come midterms, especially if the Congress flips back to a Republican Majority.
Now according to Politico, the charges are totally unfounded:
But Rep. Matheson’s office gave Live Pulse an answer — and it’s a resounding N-O.
Rep. Matheson’s spokeswoman, Alyson Heyrend called the question “patently ridiculous,” saying there was no deal made between her boss and the president that guranteed Scott Matheson’s nomination in exchange for Rep. Matheson’s vote.
“Can you spell NO?” Heyrend asked.
The White House did not return a request for comment.
In a statement today, Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch praised Matheson’s nomination calling him, “a bright attorney whose experience has prepared him for judicial service.”
UPDATE: A White House official calls the charge “absurd.”
“Scott Matheson is a leading law scholar and has served as a law school dean and U.S. Attorney. He’s respected across Utah and eminently qualified to serve on the federal bench,” the official said.
Let’s just hope, for the Country’s sake that these guys are on the level. Because if this did turn out to be true, there would be hell to pay. I, like Bill O’Reilly am willing to give the President the benefit of doubt on this one here. I will not jump on the bandwagon and accuse the President of something that I do not know to be true. It is just how I operate. I did this same thing for President George W. Bush during the beginning and in the lead up to the Iraq War.
Of course, the entire right wing right now is in full frontal assault mode on this one, and you can go read it if you wish.

Since nobody on my side of the god damned fence will do it….. I will. 😡
I personally do not give a damn what your politics is; but when one of us free wheeling writing types decides to check out this existence we call life, it is never a good thing.
Yeah, we lost another voice in this political debate.
Yeah, his politics was much different than mine. Yeah, he most likely derided Conservatives… So what?
There is a thing called real life and real damned people live in it, and when a family loses someone they love dearly. Quite bluntly, it sucks donkey balls.
To my fellow Bloggers on the left. You have my deepest condolences. I mean that. To his family, You are in my thoughts, Prayers and good wishes.
May the Late Al Weisel AKA as Jon Swift; rest in peace.
This might not be the biggest step in bringing back some damned civility in politics; but it’s a damn start.

Regarding this.
The Funny Quote:
Four hackish thoughts off the top of my head about the president imbibing. (1) It’s probably the only way he can understand Biden. (2) Now we know where that famous mellow temperament comes from. (3) If I had to deal with Reid and Pelosi every day, I’d go straight to heroin. (4) They should put the intervention on C-SPAN.
The underlined one is my favorite one. 😆
Now, that’s funny. 😛
Think that’s funny, you should read the comments over there.
Well, He did once…. and some asshole bitched about it; because I am a former lefty, that created my share of controversy when I was on that side of the fence.
It might also be because I happen to highly dislike that two-bit Faux-Conservative Jew that hosts his Blog too. I call him a Jew, not because I am a hater, anti-Semite or anything like that. I call him a Jew, because that is what the hell he is.
Just sayin’
You don’t call yourself a f’ing Conservative and produce videos that make us look like damn buffoons. Plus, they rejected a article by a blogger, that I felt was legit. Because they were afraid that it would upset some investors. Then there was this little incident too. I mean, we white rust belters must stick together. You don’t screw someone over, that I happen to think is very cool and then expect me not to react to it.
F’ing Period. 😡
Countdown to Reynolds and rest of his asshat cronies attacking me. I got two words for ’em. Bring it. 😡
