IT’S NOT BUSINESS; it’s strictly personal.

WHY NOT? Evict Obama’s mother-in-law from the White House? Better yet, why not close the White House and evict the Obamas?

After all, the Obamas evicted Ralph and Joyce Spencer from their home.

FROM MY EMAIL, some food for thought:

I have worked in the government aerospace/defense industry for over 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours.

In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.

This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 month ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

As a former defense contractor myself, I can attest to the snails pace of the contracting process. But it could be done in a week of so, not 6-8 months. What the email does show, however, quite clearly, is that the shutdown was Obama's Plan 'A', not his Plan 'B'.

Here's Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) providing proof: Tea Party's been planning shutdown for 18 months. The Democrats are well-known for their psychological projection; the fact that they're accusing Republicans (and specifically Tea Party Republicans) of planning for a government shutdown is more than adequate proof of their own guilt.

OH, NO, Obama is not a debt-ceiling hypocrite. "Even at the time [2006] Obama knew [that his vote not to raise the debt ceiling] would be dangerous to the economy if it actually happened. The fact that he expected others to save him from the consequences of his stance only tells us how cynical he was from the start."

THE (2013) BATTLE OF YORKTOWN -- restaurant owner defies feds.

At 11 a.m. he reopened the Carrot Tree Kitchens Restaurant – in defiance of the federal government.

“I intend to serve everybody that wants to dine with me,” he said. “I don’t intend to close my doors. I am occupying Carrot Tree Yorktown.”

It's a long way for me to drive for lunch ... but I just might do that.

SOMETIMES A NAME IS JUST A NAME, and sometimes a President is just an idiot.

From my posts and post links over the last 2 weeks.

HARRY REID blames 'right-wing media bias' for Obama throwing him under the bus.

I JUST RECEIVED my Shutdown Survival kit from the White House…

It contains a parachute, an ‘Obama Hope & Change’ bumper sticker, a ‘Bush’s Fault’ yard sign, a ‘Blame Boehner’ poster, a 'Tax the Rich' banner, an application for unemployment, an application for food stamps, a prayer rug, a letter of assignment of debt to my grandchildren, and if that was not enough, there was a discount coupon for a machine that blows smoke up my ass.

Everything was “Made in China " and all directions are in Spanish.

Keep an eye out. Yours should arrive soon.

From my email (as usual).

SPITE HOUSE PRIORITIES: Missing kids out, hydration in.

FROM MY EMAIL: Gun control that makes sense.

In 1863 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States .

In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States, who later died from the wound.

In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.

In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States.

Democrats should not be allowed to have guns.

ZERO: How many of Kathleen Sebelius’ 3 ObamaCare ‘success stories’ have actually enrolled?

Now perhaps you understand why the government has adamantly refused to answer questions about enrollment numbers:

WALLACE: I want to ask you about ObamaCare. You brought it up, that's what -- what a lot of this is about. The public exchanges in ObamaCare opened this week. And I think it's fair to say that the government Web site was a mess. In fact -- and you can look at it right here -- the page to sign up to enroll for ObamaCare has been taken down for repairs during off-peak hours this weekend.

A question, sir. You have had three years to prepare for this week.

If I already had doubts -- somebody already had doubts about the government's ability to oversee a sixth of the economy, shouldn't this just add to my doubts?

LEW: You know, Chris, the -- I actually think that is not what's happened this week. What happened this week is we saw seven million people rush to go onto the Web page to find out what are their choices in this new marketplace to buy affordable health care.

WALLACE: How many actually signed up, sir?

LEW: You know, they have six months to sign up. This is a big decision. We never expected --

WALLACE: How many signed up?

LEW: -- I -- I don't have the exact number. But the question isn't --

WALLACE: Do you have any number --

LEW: The question --

WALLACE: -- because the government has refused to --

LEW: -- it's the wrong question.

WALLACE: -- tell us how many.

LEW: It's the wrong question.

WALLACE: No, it isn't.

LEW: (INAUDIBLE).

WALLACE: In the end, looking --

LEW: The right question –

WALLACE: -- I can look and I may have no interest and, in fact --

WALLACE: -- I'm not going to need ObamaCare --

LEW: We know --

WALLACE: -- the question is, how many --

LEW: Chris, we –

WALLACE: -- people have --

LEW: -- we know --

WALLACE: -- actually signed up?

LEW: We know that people take time to make important decisions like this. They go on. They compare their options. The fact that so many millions of people rushed to get information is a very good sign.

And then to your question about the Web site, I don't know about you, but, um, you know, I sign on and I get updates on my software and I often get corrections that I have to re, uh, re-update my -- my software from major companies.

It is not unique that when you have a very large new software program come out, that people work to clean it up. I usually wait until it's .3 or .4 before I sign up.

So many millions of people rushed to get in, because that shows how much interest there is in -- in getting health care.

WALLACE: I'm going to ask one last time, because, forgive me, sir, you haven't answered it.

Do you not know how many people have signed up?

Which should seem to indicate another major software glitch?

Or is it that the number is embarrassingly small?

LEW: Chris, I -- our metric for this week was could people get online, get the information they need...

WALLACE: The answer is they couldn't --

LEW: -- to make an enforce -- and informed decision. They have been getting that information. We are confident that they're going to make the decision as we expected. They have six months to make the decision.

WALLACE: So you don't -- the -- do they -- do you not know or is it that the number is small?

LEW: Well, it's obviously not my primary area of responsibility, so my knowing or not knowing is not -- is not going to be indicative...

WALLACE: But then nobody --

WALLACE: -- in the government --

LEW: -- the -- the important issue -- the important issue here is that millions of Americans want to get affordable health care. They came online. They're getting the information.

And do you know what they're learning?

They're learning they can get affordable health care, they can save money, they can avoid having a situation where they have pre-existing conditions but no health care or they have children who have no health care.

This is a very important development.

WALLACE: They just can't sign up for it at this point?

LEW: Well, I think they are going to be signing up.

LEW: They have six months to sign up.

WALLACE: But technically, they can't.

LEW: Well --

They know. They just refuse to answer because the answer is near zero. 'Most transparent administration ever', my ass.

"FEELING SUPERIOR TO FLYOVER PEOPLE is a key tenet of modern liberalism. It’s just gotten more vicious."

It's a key tenet of Marxism as well.

GLENN REYNOLDS: Washington isn't working. "[We] should think long and hard about how many resources we should allow politicians to control, given their track record lately. Because Washington is clearly a world that doesn't work."

UPDATE: Blowback in the comments; by blocking access to cemetaries,he's alienating a key Democrat voting bloc - the dead.
