President Obama weighed in yesterday on Kanye West's boorish behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. In case you slept through Monday, you can click on this video to see what happened.

Now West has apologized for this bit several times, and his apology seems genuine. But Obama has still weighed in on Kanye's actions. According to ABC's Terry Moran, Obama called West a "jackass" for his little VMA stunt.

Now we're hearing that Obama made that comment during a CNBC interview ... an off-the-record interview. Now ABC is apologizing for revealing the off-the-record comment.

Sure a lot of apologies going around.

Anyway ... it's nice to know that President Obama can recognize a jackass when he sees one. It would have been nicer if that part of the interview had been on the record.

There he was, our anti-capitalist president on Wall Street yesterday. He was there to proudly announce his intentions to pile a bunch of new regulations on our financial markets. Well ... at least he comes by that honestly. After all, if you distrust and even dislike the free marketplace, and if you have the power ... why NOT regulate? Obama sees the government as the only entity that can straighten out our economic situation right now, so to him Wall Street must seem like enemy territory.

Maybe someday Obama can make a speech in Washington and tell us about all of the reforms he's going to introduce to stop government from meddling in the free marketplace. Sure ... Wall Street had a ball creating all sorts of investment vehicles with these worthless home loans; and those investments finally tanked. But what about addressing the people who made those worthless home loans possible? Names? OK, how about Barney Frank and Chris Dodd?

Just remember folks, Wall Street wouldn't have been able to aid and abet a financial disaster this way if our wonderful federal government hadn't enabled and promoted those worthless home loans. The source of the problem, President Obama, was Washington DC, not Wall Street.

And that brings us to .......

OK ... I need to take a time off from speaking to or writing for the more rational readers/listeners out there and address my liberal detractors. The rest of you can read along .. but this is such a basic lesson in logic that you may find it a bit plebian.

To my leftist bedwetting friends:

So, you got a little upset about my tweet yesterday, did you? Now let's see, what was it I said? Oh yeah ... here you go: "Obama on Wall Street today. That's like sending a child molester to speak to a kindergarten class."

Well, it didn't take long before you were chattering amongst yourselves. Yeah .. that evil right wing nutjob hate-filled radical right wing talk show host just compared your precious president with a child molester.

I'm not going to ask you if you're really that ignorant. I already know the answer to that one. I'm going to try to help, though, by explaining the construct of that sentence for you.

Now ... through your illogical liberal fog you are claiming to have read that tweet as comparing Obama to a child molester. Let's see if that is supportable.

The word "like" appears in the sentence. The appearance of that word would indicate that I'm comparing one action or object with another. Look at the word following "like." That word is "sending," not "Obama." Yup ... what I'm doing here is comparing an action, not a person. I'm comparing one action to another action, not a person to a person. What actions? The action of Obama going to Wall Street to the action of a child molester going to a kindergarten class. So your accusation that I'm comparing your God to a child molester is looking a little weak, isn't it?

The question remains; why would I see a comparison between Obama traveling to Wall Street to that of a child molester going to a gathering of children? That should be pretty easy, even for a logic-challenged liberal. That would be because I consider Obama to be just as much of a threat to Wall Street as I would a child molester to children.

Now I know this isn't going to make any difference to you. You know that your followers are every bit as challenged when it comes to logical thought as you are ... so you will continue to use this tweet to attack me. That's fine. When I'm not being attacked by blogs like ThinkProgress or Media Matters I start to worry that the content of my program isn't compelling enough. Your attacks serve as my validation. I just wanted you to see that your logic failures don't go unnoticed.

I would have thought that the 24/7 news cycle and the short attention span of Americans would have put this story to bed by now. But the fallout from Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst last week continues to make the news. I bring this story to your attention because I have been harping on the resurrection of the race card lately. Great recent example? The DC tea party this weekend. You do know that those people on the mall were all a bunch of racists, don't you?

Now Joe Wilson is a racist as well. He didn't yell "you lie" at Obama because Obama was lying .. he did it because Obama is black. Read this from Newsbusters.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), also known as the Black Press of America, which is a non-partisan 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization, has decided to show its disapproval of South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's "You Lie" remarks by canceling a convention in the state.

"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation - not only of President Obama - but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected," NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. said in a statement.

Would somebody please have Chairman Danny Bakewell explain to me what was "racist" about Joe Wilson's outburst of "you lie"? I agree that is was disrespectful. But racist? That is one of the most overused words in the English language. When you hear someone yell "racist" you know you are listening to a limited intellect on a temper tantrumThe only reason his outburst is "racist" is because too many people are walking around this country with racial chips on their shoulder.

With your kids returning to their indoctrination centers - government schools - I have been noticing reports from around the country concerning the Pledge of Allegiance. Now I will tell you up front that I am not a big fan on the forced recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance. These children are in these schools by government mandate .. and I don't the government leading them on a pledge of allegiance to anything but themselves. At any rate; it seems that every year we get the stories about students being harassed for not standing up to say the Pledge, and now the debate is being taken to a new level.

We've settled the fact that no one, not even government school students, has to stand to pledge allegiance. But the new advocacy issue is about a "Miranda warning" for the Pledge. This would be an administrative notice that students have the right to remain silent. First Amendment advocates argue that the law "compels educators to inform kids at the beginning of school that the decision is entirely up to them."

Does this all strike you as a bit absurd? Let's just see if these schools can get rid of ceremonies and warnings and get on the with task of teaching. Look ... they have about 12 years to teach these kids how to make change, learn how to read People Magazine and cook French fries.

We are going to have to wait until Wednesday for Max Baucus' Senate Finance Committee to release its healthcare reform bill.

One year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Heritage Foundation explains the current state of financial regulation. Notice that none of their suggestions include more government.

The unions have selected their next target: young workers.

We keep hearing that the Democrat plan will mandate health insurance, just as car insurance is currently mandated. But can we really compare the two?

Obama's my-way-or-the-highway approach to this healthcare debate (by demonizing doctors and insurance companies) may backfire on him.

No wonder Obama is in a big hurry to pass this healthcare legislation ... the more people learn about it, the more they dislike it.

Behind the scenes of the healthcare debate ... intense lobbying from the medical device industry.

Healthcare is a human right, according to the "Universal HTMLCONTROL Forms.HTML:Hidden.1 Declaration of Rights"? Show me where that appears in the Constitution.

Barack Obama didn't make a big deal out of his race when he campaigned, and he still doesn't seem to now that he is president. Why can't others get over it?

A growing number of Republicans are calling for congressional hearings and IRS audits of ACORN.

Meanwhile, ACORN wants another $6 million in government funding.

And one more about ACORN ... it is threatening to sue FoxNews over the latest undercover video footage.

I don't know where the lamestream media came up with this idea that the GOP does not have any ideas on healthcare ...

But maybe there is hope for the lamestream media after all. Some of them finally seem to realize that Barack Obama is going to have to raise taxes in order to pay for his dreams and schemes.

Seven out of 10 Americans lack confidence that the federal government has taken safeguards to prevent another financial industry meltdown.

This ought to keep the turbos busy for a while ... gay marriage supporters are moving to repeal federal laws concerning same-sex benefits.

French President Nicolas Sakozy says that happiness should be used as an economic indicator.

The Obama administration may consider changing the guidelines by which we measure poverty in this country.

First we had "hate speech." Now we have "hate tweets."

A friendly moment with Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark.
