Do you remember the first debate?

The part where President Obama brought up that the US government gives incentives to companies who send jobs oversees. And Future President Romney says "I have no idea where you got that information"...

Well....I do know where he got that information. The movie Campaign with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis has the exact line it. One of Cam Brady's (Will Ferrell) interns who is a poli sci major is trying to give Cam ideas for the campaign says "did you know that the US government gives incentives to companies who sent jobs overseas?"

I saw the movie the day that it came out, but of course I didn't take notice because the debates hadn't happened yet. My son wanted to watch the movie again last night and it was right there, clear as day.


What I can't believe is that nobody outted Obama on this.

Well, in one sense I agree wth Z.........Bush should have just told the LA Governor and Mayor "Choclate City" Nagin to get the hell out of the way.....and done what needed to be done...

But I notice he doesn't go into any details, with good reason. When you start looking at details, it turns out that essentially every major screwup was at the state and local level.

Ice and water ending up in ID and MD; a medical ship still trying to get to NOLA 2 weeks after the hurricane had hit and gone; FEMA trailers sitting in a Arkansas rotting; playing a banjo in San Diego while NOLA was drowning....the list goes on and on.

O wise one, you are partisan hack with a very bad memory.
