Hilarity of the Day: Obama Gas Station

Unlike many of the hilarity of the day videos, this video is real. Without question, this is a very interesting way to make a few bucks. Unlike other citizens, the president's image can be used by others without the president's permission.

So, whether you love the idea or hate it, you can't blame the gas station owner for coming up with an inventive way to make a few bucks!

Enjoy!

Dick Morris: Frontrunner Status for Romney

As I reasoned before, the decisions by Trump and Huckabee not to seek the GOP presidential nomination has essentially placed a frontrunner status on Mitt Romney.

Make sure to watch this video as Dick Morris takes you through the most recent polling on how Romney is impacted by the dwindling GOP field. He also points out Romney two biggest weakness with voters. The first is his support for a healthcare system, RomneyCare, that is eerily similar to ObamaCare. The second is Romney's faith.

Voters do feel good about Romney's business background and believe that he could do a much better job at solving the economic problems facing the country than is President Obama. Morris also hypothesizes what will happen if Mitch Daniels and/or Michele Bachmann jump in the race.

Dick Morris ends his video by stating a very real truth: No matter how you feel about Mitt Romney, President Romney is much better than President Obama.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm not a big Romney fan. In fact, I'll do what I can to make sure he doesn't get the nomination. That being said, if Romney wins the nomination, I'll fully support his effort to become President Romney. That's because Dick was right--President Romney does have a much better ring to it than President Obama!

Filling the Gap: Rick Perry for President?

Courtesy: Real Clear Politics

The Texas governor has long denied any interest in pursuing the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. In fact, I was at CPAC where many of these denials took place.

Real Clear Politics (RCP) is reporting that a few Perry confidants are reaching out to other consultants and operatives--especially in states with early primaries. It seems that, at least in recent months, Perry's close associates have begun to say that the governor would not consider a run until after the end of the Texas legislature's term. Since that date is only a few weeks away, could it be that something is in the mix?

I've discussed how some speculate that Romney benefits from both Huckabee and Trump deciding not to run. A factor that hasn't been taken into consideration is what would happen if no Southern top tier GOP candidate entered the race. This is exactly what has happened--both Haley Barbour and Mike Huckabee passed. Newt Gingrich is generally considered a top tier candidate but has stumbled mightily in the last few days.

This leaves a chasm into which a strong candidate like Rick Perry could jump. Will he or won't he? That remains to be seen. There is no question, however, that Perry's entrance into the race could prove to be "game-changing."

Rick Perry has an excellent record as governor, is extremely likable, and has fought the Obama Administration tooth-and-nail every step of the way. Despite Romney's success in polls and fundraising, he would be amiss to take lightly Perry's potential candidacy.

Needless to say, Rick Perry brings a great deal to the table. Check out his statements below on ObamaCare and the 10th Amendment.
