BloggeRhythms

The site for the president's library's now been picked, the South Side of Chicago. Which means that architects and planners can begin working on the structure’s layout and design.

While it will probably be some time before the public sees what’s actually being planned, it’s likely that copies of 8 years of Fox News broadcasts will be buried under the cornerstone. The entry might well be something like a Patricia Heinz arch, leading to a Kerry rotunda from which other sections branch off. 
 
The Buffett gallery will probably contain a tribute to the oil cars of the BNSF Railway, with a section devoted to the Keystone pipeline, although that section will actually never be completed. Across the hall there might be a Tom Steyer gallery dedicated to climate change, with the temperature in the space always above 100 degrees year round. 

Admission to the health care section will be free for those from the 47% percent of households who don't pay income taxes. All others will pay increasing entrance fees, according to annual income. A hallway from the tax assessment station will lead to the Al Sharpton tax alcove, however that entrance can never be found.  

The Netanyahu/Israeli room will be the smallest in the building, with plans to shrink it annually into the future. On the other side, the huge Iranian plaza will continually to expand in accordance with that nation’s territorial growth. An offshoot will be the Benghazi arcade with a full-time guide, Susan Rice.  

Although still quite early in the library’s planning stages, it should be quite interesting to see what actually develops regarding the construction. Unless only union workers are hired for the job, slowing the project into the next millennium. 

In the meantime, another issue indicates that Congress is sensing that the lame duck stage of the presidency has begun.
 
According to FoxNews.com, “President Obama suffered a defeat at the hands of his own party on Tuesday, as Senate Democrats blocked a key component of the president's trade agenda.

“After fierce lobbying on both sides of the issue, the bid to start debate -- on expanding the president's authority to negotiate trade deals -- failed on a 52-45 vote. It needed 60 votes to advance. 

The president's supporters will likely try again, but the vote nevertheless marks a stinging rebuke of a major Obama priority by members of his own party. Republicans mostly had aligned with Obama on the issue and, after the failed test vote, urged Obama's fellow Democrats to drop their resistance. 

"What we just saw here is pretty shocking," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, accusing congressional Democrats of standing with "special interests.”

Then there was another validation of liberalism’s economic impossibility, whereas Moody's downgraded Chicago's credit rating to junk level "Ba1" from "Baa2."

Moody’s Tuesday announcement, cited a recent Illinois court ruling voiding state pension reforms, saying it saw a negative outlook for the city's credit. 
 
The key issue stated by Moody’s was, “Whether or not the current statutes that govern Chicago's pension plans stand, we expect the costs of servicing Chicago's unfunded liabilities will grow, placing significant strain on the city's financial operations absent commensurate growth in revenue and/or reductions in other expenditures." 

Thus, what we have here is an absolutely perfect example of what to expect for the nation as a result of the way that the Administration has permitted the unbridled growth of the national debt.   

Reader, Dusty Thompson, summed it up this way: 
 
“Ineptocracy: in-ep-toc’-ra-cy”

“A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.”

Coincidentally, on the same day Alexander Hendrie at Americans for Tax Reform reports that: “Despite over $205 million in federal taxpayer funding, Hawaii’s Obamacare exchange website will soon shut down. Since its implementation, the exchange has somehow failed to become financially viable because of lower than expected Obamacare enrollment figures. With the state legislature rejecting a $28 million bailout, the website will now be unable to operate past this year.”

And now, today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

Dan Springer writes on FoxNews.com that, ”A sales plug in Russia in 2009, though, may have proved especially fruitful. While touring a Boeing plant, Secretary of State Clinton said, "We're delighted that a new Russian airline, Rossiya, is actively considering acquisition of Boeing aircraft, and this is a shameless pitch."
 
“In 2010, Boeing landed the Russian deal, worth $3.7 billion. And two months later, the company donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation. 

“Clinton defenders say there is no smoking gun. "There's zero evidence that Hillary Clinton went to bat for Boeing for any reason other than to benefit the U.S. economy and U.S. workers," said former Clinton/Gore adviser Richard Goldstein. 

“But the financial connections don't end there. Boeing also paid former President Bill Clinton $250,000 for a speech in 2012. It was a speech that was approved by the State Department's Ethics Office -- which according to an Associated Press report often approved the ex-president's speaking engagements within days.”

So, although it was a concern that committing to report a daily misdeed by Bill’s wife was attempting something probably not really possible. Because no one on earth could be that openly self-serving, greed driven and egotistically motivated. However, as things are going now, commenting on only one misdeed a day on her part may not be enough.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
