OBAMA WORRIED ABOUT THIS YEAR'S BUDGET? NO. NOT WITH THE POWER OF THE VETO.

AS THE UNITED STATES CRUMBLES ECONOMICALLY OBAMA REMINDS ME OF THE, 'CLICHE', "WHO ME, WORRIED?"
"During the past week, Barack Obama has found no time to condemn the attacks that Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has launched on the Libyan people. But he did find time to be interviewed by a Wisconsin television station and weigh in on the dispute between Republican Gov. Scott Walker and the state's public employee unions. ... Unions, most of whose members are public employees, gave Democrats some $400 million in the 2008 election cycle. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the biggest public employee union, gave Democrats $90 million in the 2010 cycle. ... The money in this case comes from taxpayers, present and future, who are the source of every penny of dues paid to public employee unions, who in turn spend much of that money on politics, almost all of it for Democrats. In effect, public employee unions are a mechanism by which every taxpayer is forced to fund the Democratic Party. ... Now hard economic times have left voters wondering why public employees pay practically zero toward their health insurance and pensions when they have to pay plenty themselves." --

WHY ISN'T OBAMA WORKING TO SOLVE THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DENY SUGGESTIONS THE GOP MAY HAVE? HE'D RATHER DRINK AND PLAY LIKE HE WAS IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE.

Washington (CNN) -- Politics is serious business -- but not all the time.
Obama at the Oscars (sort of)
President Obama appeared in a taped clip during Sunday's Academy Awards show on ABC, letting the world know that his favorite movie song was "As Time Goes By."
The song by Dooley Wilson was featured in the classic "Casablanca."
CNN's Bonney Kapp reports that the song also ranked No. 2 on the American Film Institute's list of top film tunes.
Just like the Oscars

President Obama toasted the nation's governors at the White House on Sunday.

Obama, speaking at the 2011 Governors' Dinner in the state dining room of the White House on Sunday, was clearly in an Oscar state of mind.
"I want to welcome some of you back, and I want to welcome those who are here for the first time. I know some of you may be confused and think this is the Oscars," he said, drawing laughs, according to the press pool report. "There are some similarities. First of all, everybody looks spectacular. And the second thing is, if I speak too long the music will start playing. So I'm going to be very brief."
