Order in the court! Obama gets heckled in Connecticut

Obama was heckled today by AIDS activists during a speech in Connecticut. In response, Obama said, "we're funding global aids, the other side is not..."

Well, that's not quite true. George Bush is highly esteemed in Africa for his funding of AIDS programs. The funding was so significant, 60 Minutes described it as "momentous".

Obama seemed to have his hands full as he tried settle-down people in the auditorium. Kind of like a judge repeatedly banging the gavel and yelling, "Order in court!"

EXIT QUESTION: Did Obama's appearance on the Jon Stewart show (and others like it) reduce his stature even among the faithful?

Joy Behar raises money for Sharon Angle

By now you've probably heard about Behar's latest outburst - this time against Sharon Angle. Certainly if any conservative had spewed such vitriol against a liberal, they would would have lost their job by now.



Well as it turns out, that little outburst netted Sharon Angle an extra $137,000 in campaign contributions. To say thanks, Angle sent Behar a bouquet of flowers. Now who's classy?

... and Joy graciously accepts, or not so much. Remember, this is the lady (along with Whoopi) who stormed off the set because of O'Reilly's "offensive" comments. The lack of self-awareness is breathtaking.

Howard Dean makes two predictions in this clip:

1. The ObamaCare mandate is D.O.A

Is Bobby Jindal back from the hinterlands?

Political fortunes can turn on a dime. Perhaps Bobby Jindal's political fortunes are on the rise due to his recent speech in which he criticized the Federal governments response to the Gulf oil spill.

Back in February of 2009, Jindal was tapped to give the Republican response to Obama's State of the Union speech. After his response Jindal was widely criticized, even by Republicans, for a poor delivery lacking in gravitas. The most memorable reaction probably came from an open-mic Chris Matthews as Jindal began his speech. In roughly six-minutes, Jindal went from presidential contender to political lightweight. But if this speech is a sign of things to come from Jindal, he may very well become a force to be reckoned with.
