North Korea, GM and Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi has to be the luckiest politician in America. Through the end of last week, it finally looked like she was going to have to come up with some evidence that the CIA actually lied to her during an Oversight Committee briefing.

Then along came North Korea launching short range nuclear missiles, which seemed to catch everyone by surprise. Then they launched a couple more and then to everyone's great surprise they launched number five and six. This got all of us wondering if we are indeed as protected as we think we are, especially on the heels of learning we cut the budget on our missile defense this year. Maybe the high speed train for Mr Reid will help save us.

Then final word came down that GM was indeed headed to bankruptcy and the anger started to manifest, did the UAW get a sweet heart deal? Well of course they did, same as AIG. Line the coffers of the next President and these are the rewards. By this time Nancy's "That's all I am going to say," had all but been forgotten. The US taxpayer is now putting a "total" of $50 billion into GM knowing full well we will never see it paid back. Unlike the financial institutions who have hundreds of billions in revenue, GM just can't and won't make that kind of money. Obeys and his team are betting on green cars the likes of which, even Toyota has not been able to make a profit on.

So here we are today with Nancy Polos, third in line to the President still with no accountability and the purse strings to all our tax dollars. But this is why we love America.
