WRONG, WRONG, WRONG ............

At a hastily convened news conference Friday evening, President Obama offered his explanation of why debt negotiations with House Speaker John Boehner fizzled, and he once again raised the specter of entitlement checks not going out if the debt ceiling isn’t raised soon.


“Well, when it comes to all the checks, not just Social Security — veterans, people with disabilities — about 70 million checks are sent out each month — if we default then we’re going to have to make adjustments. And I’m already consulting with (Treasury) Secretary (Tim) Geithner in terms of what the consequences would be,” Obama said.


“We should not even be in that kind of scenario. And if Congress — and in particular, the House Republicans — are not willing to make sure that we avoid default, then I think it’s fair to say that they would have to take responsibility for whatever problems arise in those payments.”


In the next breath, Obama said he’s “not interested in finger-pointing and I’m not interested in blame, but I just want the facts to speak for themselves.”

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG ............
THE BLAME IS AT THE TOP .................. THE LEADER

If a ship has a problem, the CAPTAIN is to blame .............
WHO gets fired when a team is losing ........... the top man, THE MANAGER
The LEADER is to blame ....

WE DO NOT have a LEADER in the country at this time, we had a politician, running for election, a man looking for friends, a man who wants to be adored

This country is on a "runaway" rollercoaster, gaining momentum all the time, gaining speed all the time. NO ONE is in control of the coaster, and if SOMEONE doesn't take control of the coaster, it is going to  speed into a curve, jump the rails, and be destroyed.

Jack LaLanne dies at 96

Jack LaLanne was prodding Americans to get off their couches and into the gym decades before it was cool. And he was still pumping iron and pushing fruits and vegetables decades past most Americans' retirement age.

He filmed some of his info-mercials at my son Dean's studio in New Jersey, and he was an advocate for Bragg's Pure Apple Cider Vinegar, and I know stated that he took some every day. I am a big advocate of that, and got the idea from Jack.

He has been a TV companion for  many years, watching his shows, and his info-mercials on TV. I was going back to New Jersey once to be there when he filming, but was unable to go back for some reason. I imagine my son has some nice memories of him.

He was an Icon for the aging ..... his info-mercials will be on forever though.

He published numerous books on fitness and hosted a fitness television show between 1951 and 1985.

LaLanne gained recognition for his success as a bodybuilder as well as for his prodigious feats of strength. He was inducted to the California Hall of Fame and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
LaLanne wrote that as a boy he was addicted to sugar and junk food. He attacked his brother, attempted suicide, and tried to burn down his house. LaLanne later described himself as "a miserable  kid... It was like hell." At age 15, he heard health food pioneer Paul Bragg give a talk on health and nutrition. Bragg's message had a powerful influence on LaLanne, who decided to focus on his diet and exercise habits. He studied Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body and concentrated on bodybuilding and weightlifting.


LaLanne blamed overly processed foods for many health problems. He advocated a vegetarian diet, though he ate some fish himself.
