Obama is channeling Herbert Hoover for this election!

The City Council was supposed to take their “confidence vote” tonight. That’s now been put off until May 16th. So The Doctor has 4 weeks to drum up some confidence.

Somehow.

Somewhere.

And Mayor Ballard has 4 weeks to put together a face-saving rationale for telling Straub to cop a walk. One that doesn’t make his 2010 appointment look completely like a completely boneheaded one. Marines are trained for tough duty, right? Time to get tough, Marine.

OK, so Straub’s gruff. He’s aggressive. He’s blunt. He ruffles feathers. He’s not here to be popular.

But he’s not here to be Captain Titanic and swap deck chairs every few weeks, either. Face it, he’s just not doing us any good. Time to move on. He’s had two years to ‘fix’ (his word) the problems in IMPD and it’s only gotten worse. He must shop for excuses at the same place President Obama does.

By all means, let’s focus on implementing the Buffett Rule:

Every problem has a solution. The Buffett Rule is not the solution to anything. Spending less and cutting the deficit is the solution to the USA’s economic problem.

So why are we wasting time debating the Buffett Rule?

Early Easter morning, a drive by shooting resulted in 7 people being shot. IMPD is looking for a gold Grand Marquis or Crown Victoria. Two vehicles were involved at the 16th and Holmes crime scene but fled north at a high rate of speed to 17th or 18th. One went east and the other went west and not immediately located.

A David sector officer (D518) was close by and witnessed the shooting and reported the injuries.

Sheesh, and it actually flew over the Florida Democratic headquarters! Until some angry veterans raised Hell about it…

Obama Flag

Don Van Beck, executive director of the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park in Leesburg, told WFTV that seeing the flag made his blood boil.

“I can‘t describe how upset was because you just don’t do that to the American flag,” he said.

The veterans, saying the flag violated U.S. code that prohibits “marks, insignia, letters, words, figures, designs, picture or drawings of any nature,” demanded it be removed.

Bradford and other veterans approached the Democratic Headquarters with a copy of the flag code, intending to remove the flag.

Van Beck offered a POW/MIA flag to fly in its place, the Sentinel reported, but Party chairwoman Nancy Hulbert threatened to call the police.

“This is private property,” she told the veterans. “This is private property. You’re not allowed to touch anything. I’ll call the police.”

It’s not a Koran burning, but maybe our president will take a few minutes to apologize for this act of desecration, too.
