Bristling with impatience, President Barack Obama on Thursday openly and sharply questioned whether Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's pledge to shift power to his vice president is an "immediate, meaningful or sufficient" sign of reform for a country in upheaval.

* SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU ABSOLUTELY FRIGG'N INCOMPETENT... SHUT THE F--K UP...!!!

* MY FRIGG'N GOD... AND SOME PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT WIKILEAKS UNDERCUTTING U.S. FOREIGN POLICY...?!?!

* SO FRIGG'N ANXIOUS TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT...

(*GRITTING MY TEETH*)

Before Mubarak's speech, CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress there was "a strong likelihood" that the Egyptian leader was on the way out and could step down as early as Thursday night.

* INCOMPETENT! ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT...!!! SHUT UP YOU STUPID DUMB BASTARDS...!!!

"President Mubarak's announcement that he will remain in power is deeply unfortunate and troubling," said Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona. "The voices of the Egyptian people are growing louder and more unified, and they are not demanding partial transfers of power or minor adjustments to the current government. They are calling for President Mubarak to step down."

* SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP...!!! MY GOD...! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE FOOL...!

Joel Rubin, a former State Department official under President George W. Bush, said Mubarak was directly referring to the United States on Thursday when he said he would not be pushed out by foreign powers.

(*SMIRK*)

"He's daring them," said Rubin, deputy director at the Washington-based National Security Network. "The White House will have a harder time messaging now because he's called their bluff."

The lack of a flight to the U.S. dollar and Treasurys during the crisis in Egypt is a warning sign that investors are moving away from traditional American safety plays, Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC.

At another time, such geopolitical turmoil might have sent investors flocking to the traditional safe-haven plays, but that has not been the case so far.

"Had you asked me 19 days ago what happens to the dollar if we have the sort of developments we had, I would have told you the dollar would be stronger," said El-Erian, co-CEO at the company that runs the largest bond fund in the world.

"With the exception of three days, the dollar has weakened during that period. You are seeing a reassessment of the standing of the US dollar and the US Treasury market has the flight to safety, the flight to quality."

* BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA... (*SIGH*)... PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES... PRESIDING OVER A DECLINE HIS POLICIES HAVE ACCELERATED. IT'S 2011 AND WE'RE LEFT DREAMING OF "THE GOOD OLD DAYS" OF "DUBYA."

Gov. Jan Brewer sued the federal government Thursday for failing to control Arizona's border with Mexico and enforce immigration laws, and for sticking the state with huge costs associated with jailing illegal immigrants who commit crimes.

The lawsuit claims the federal government has failed to protect Arizona from an "invasion" of illegal immigrants. It seeks increased reimbursements and extra safeguards, such as additional border fences.

* WHILE I UNDERSTAND BREWER'S REASONING, HER FRUSTRATION, AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OBAMA SUED ARIZONA LONG BEFORE ARIZONA SUED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT... (*SIGH*)... BOTTOM LINE... AS A MATTER OF LAW THE CASE HAS NO MERIT.

"Because the federal government has failed to protect the citizens of Arizona, I am left with no other choice," Brewer said...

(*SIGH*) THIS IS A POLITICAL MATTER. OBAMA IS PRESIDENT. IT'S UP TO CONGRESS TO FORCE HIM TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS. AS A STATE GOVERNOR, BREWER'S ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO CALL OUT HER STATE NATIONAL GUARD TO BACK UP THE POLICE POWER OF THE STATE.

General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, which each received government-funded bailouts, may award some managers bonuses of as much as 50% of their salary, said four people familiar with the plans.

* FOLKS...???

GM plans to pay bonuses to most managers equal to 15% to 20% of their annual salary and as high as 50% to less than 1% of its 26,000 U.S. salaried employees, said one of the people, who asked not to be named revealing internal plans.

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*) YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK, FOLKS...

Bonuses for Chrysler’s 10,755 salaried workers will average about $10,000, with a small group getting as much as half of their salary, one of the people said.

* AND I DON'T GET SO MUCH AS A 10% DISCOUNT ON PARTS AND SERVICE FOR MY GM OR DODGE VEHICLES! (HOW'BOUT THE REST OF YOU... WHAT'S BEEN YOUR "RETURN" ON THE BUSH/OBAMA BAILOUTS?) (*SMIRK*)

Ford, the only U.S. automaker to avoid bankruptcy in 2009, is expected to pay bonuses equal to 10% or more of base pay to some salaried staff, said a person familiar with the plan.

* HEY... IT'S THEIR FRIGG'N MONEY. GM AND CHRYSLER PICKED OUR POCKETS! (ACTUALLY, OBAMA FORCED CHRYSLER TO ACCEPT A TAXPAYER BAILOUT WHILE BONDHOLDERS WERE SCREWED AND OBAMA'S UNION ALLIES WERE ENRICHED.

* FOLKS... THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LIKE HOGS BEING LED TO THE SLAUGHTER. IF YOU'RE NOT "ONE OF THEM" - ONE OF OBAMA'S FAVORED CLASSES - YOU'RE NO ONE... YOU'RE JUST A HOST TO BE FED UPON.

A Salvadoran man who was ordered deported nearly a decade ago but never left has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in a series of shootings and a knife attack in a Virginia suburb of Washington, authorities said Friday.

Jose Oswaldo Reyes Alfaro, an illegal immigrant, was charged in the pair of attacks blocks apart Thursday night that left three people dead and three others injured, Manassas Police Chief Doug Keen said.

* IF THREE PEOPLE HAD TO DIE... IF THREE OTHERS HAD TO BE INJURED... IF THAT WAS UNALTERABLE FATE, BETTER THE VICTIMS WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO HAVE OPPOSED PROTECTING OUR BORDERS AND ENFORCING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.

"It's another abject failure of the federal government," said state Delegate Jackson Miller, R-Manassas, a former city council member and police officer. "Now we have three innocent victims in my city, about a mile from my house there's a murderous rampage. I am furious. ... Yet it happens over and over and over again, and then we have to hear all of these apologetic excuses as to why we shouldn't be addressing criminal illegal aliens on the state or local level. It's just disgusting."

* AGAIN... HAD THE VICTIMS BEEN POLITICIANS WITH RECORDS OF SUPPORTING THE CREATION AND EXISTENCE OF "SANCTUARY CITIES" AND OTHER "PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN" MEASURES, THEN PERHAPS THESE SENSELESS KILLINGS AND WOUNDINGS WOULD HAVE PROVIDED A GREATER GOOD IN TERMS OF UNDERCUTTING SUCH BEHAVIOR ON THE PART OF ALL TOO MANY OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

A similar uproar ensued in August when an allegedly drunken driver struck a car carrying three nuns, killing Sister Denise Mosier, 66. The man charged in that crash, 23-year-old Carlos Martinelly Montano, had been turned over to immigration authorities but was released pending a deportation hearing.
