WASHINGTON — Bill Clinton implored Democrats to back the tax-cut deal that President Barack Obama negotiated with Republicans as the former president made a surprise appearance at Obama's side in the White House briefing room Friday.

"I don't believe there is a better deal out there," Clinton told reporters who'd been summoned at a moment's notice to see the former chief executive back the current one. Clinton and
Obama had just finished a private meeting in the Oval Office.

Obama said it was a "terrific meeting" and then turned the podium over to Clinton.

The voluble former president took it away, and Obama left part-way through his remarks, saying he had holiday parties to attend.

(You can read the rest here).

Well, well, well...so the fifth-grader hands it over to the college senior...in favor of "PARTYING" is what it sounded like.

Boy, oh boy, I go grocery shopping and pay my internet bill, and Obama has to stop the world to par-tay!

He did not say he had holiday parties to attend.

Obama Ditches Tax Cut Presser After Bill Clinton Takes Control

Former President Bill Clinton gave a statement after his meeting with President Obama about his tax compromise with the Republicans.

However, after his statement, Clinton began to call on and take questions from the press with Obama at his side.

Obama leaves promptly after a few moments and said he had to see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."

"I don't want to make her mad, please go," Clinton told Obama.

*********

Michelle Obama, an almost 47-year-old woman, can't handle a Christmas party by herself?

Is she as incompetent as he?

HE is the pResident and he could not stand beside the former President for 10-15 minutes--because Michelle might throw a fit?

Is this just another Obama excuse, like "I have to go scoop the poop"?

Who in the world are these two 'par-tay putzes', and can we send them back to their home planet? SOON?

Personally, I feel the Obamas 'time' came and went...on Jan. 20, 2009.

A peek at what it was like...

...back when I was a small girl.

Remember them...and pass this on please?

A little bit of Christmas history

Back when the White House still called it "Christmas"!

99 & 99/100% pure...

...it floats!



BTW, 85 meters translates to 288.15 feet tall!

"I read the news today, oh boy..."

I did not forget John Lennon.

30 years ago this morning was when I found out he was murdered...something no one could ever imagine.

Christmas without the tree?

From APOD:

Too Close to a Black Hole


What would you see if you went right up to a black hole?

Above is a computer generated image highlighting how strange things would look.

The
black hole has such strong gravity that light is noticeably bent towards it - causing some very unusual visual distortions.

Every star in the normal frame has at least two bright
images - one on each side of the black hole.

Near the
black hole, you can see the whole sky - light from every direction is bent around and comes back to you.

The
original background map was taken from the 2MASS infrared sky survey, with stars from the Henry Draper catalog superposed.

Black holes are thought to be the densest state of matter, and there is indirect evidence for their presence in stellar binary systems and the centers of globular clusters, galaxies, and quasars.

Then, there's MY version:
The Light-bender

An Early Gift for All!

From a woman who goes by the moniker 'Hesperos Rising' comes this beauty.

Enjoy!
