    Andrew Malcolm, some highlights from Mitt’s Florida victory speech:

Three years ago this week, a newly elected President Obama faced the  American people and said that if he couldn’t turn the economy around in  three years, he’d be looking at a one-term proposition. We’re here to  collect.

Ouch. Nothing hurts a politician’s re-election chances worse than his own words......let's get to work....

Operation Eagle Ford Shale Gas-Tech

Coastal Flow Measurement recently announced Operation Eagle Ford Shale Gas-Tech, an ambitious program to recruit and train returning military veterans for a career in natural gas measurement. With the rapidly expanding oil and gas production in the Eagle Ford Shale region of South Central Texas, there’s a significant and growing need for skilled personnel, and this initiative will help alleviate that demand while, perhaps even more importantly, providing jobs for vets.

Coastal Flow’s newly launched program is a demonstration of the
company’s sincere appreciation for all military veterans while supporting our industry’s exceptional growth. Under this program, Coastal Flow is actively seeking companies interested in hiring qualified returning veterans who successfully complete our comprehensive measurement training program. For those accepted into our program, Coastal Flow will provide basic natural gas measurement training, including meals, lodging, and all course materials, at no cost to the trainees. Following the first year of employment as a gas measurement technician, advanced training will also be made available at no cost to the trainees.

All training will be conducted at Coastal Flow’s Houston facilities
with the first training class scheduled for March 2012. The company is currently coordinating its recruiting efforts through various military bases while communicating details of the plan to its extensive industry contacts who are most likely to hire the graduates of this program. If you know of a returning military vet who may qualify, or if your organization can help Coastal Flow to find returning soldiers a job in our industry, please contact us at WelcomeHome@coastalflow.com. Thank you.

 

  I opened with Obama's words coming back to haunt him. Yesterday Dr. Keith Rose and I got into a discussion about that very thing concerning Mitt Romney.

  Here is the line from yesterday; "I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich; they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 percent, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling."
   Host SOLEDAD O'BRIEN jumped on it: "You said, 'I'm not concerned about the very poor because they have a safety net," and she suggested that poor Americans would say, "that sounds odd."
   Romney noted that you have to finish the sentence: 'I'm not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net, but if it has holes in it, I will repair them."
   It was like that the rest of the day as reporters continued to ask him about the partial quote: "I'm not concerned about the very poor." (video)

First Lady Michelle Obama cited “remarkable progress” on the economy during a speech for a small crowd of high-profile Hollywood names in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening.

She also said Charlie Sheen is making “remarkable progress” in rehab, Oprah’s OWN network is making “remarkable progress” in the ratings, and she is making “remarkable progress” on her diet.

 Jack Chambless, an economics professor from Valencia College in Florida, tells of an assignment he gave his students on the first day of class.

 

He asked them to write an essay on what the American Dream meant to them and what they expected from government to help them realize the American Dream. He said only 10% said they wanted the federal government to stay out of their lives as much as possible.

80% said they wanted the federal government to pay for their education, find them a job, help them buy a house, and give them money in retirement.

 

Professor Chambless suggests that his students are simply parroting back what they have been indoctrinated to say from their years in public schools.....(Video is here)

  What can you tell me about Schlitterbahn?  It seems to come up every time I'm out.  Followed by this, "do you think there is much opposition to it on the Island"....

  I don't think so but then I have not visited with everyone on the Island. I've listened to conversations. Particularly at the Padre Island Business Assn. meetings. But those are business people who want to do business.

   Those people are positive about it.

   Johnny French however is not. Does he want to kill it?  Yes. Why? Just because.

  How many Frenchies are there?

   I guess we'll find out, if, as threatned a petition to put Schlitterbahn to a vote (the bridge on Park Road 22)happens.

 Why does a guy would could pass for Santa Clause have a problem with kids having fun and having jobs and well, fill in the blanks.

 Is Mr French is jealous of Mr Amos. Tony is looked at as the protector of the South Texas Coast, and Mr French is seen by some business people at the Baby Ruth in the Punch Bowl..

Financing for Schlitterbahn will be announced this week. The bank that is doing the financing will be announced this week.

 Primary Day in Florida. Will it be a Mitt blow out? All signs are pointing to it.
