ORONO, Maine — Former Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen on Thursday urged Americans to take control of their government and demand that elected officials work together to make the hard choices it will take to lower the deficit and cut the growth of the federal budget.
Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson, who was the featured speaker at the biannual lecture at the University of Maine named for Cohen, was more blunt. He urged the more than 1,000 attendees to attend the next town meeting of their elected representatives.
“And when you hear that wonderful phrase from your elected official standing there in the beauty of the glare of the [television] camera: ‘I know what the problem is and we can get it done without touching precious Medicare, precious Medicaid, precious defense, or precious Social Security. God bless you,’” the former Republican senator from Wyoming said.
“Then, you should get up and say, ‘You, sir, are making a terminological inexactitude, you lying son of a bitch.’ ”Read more: http://bangordailynews.com/2013/11/07/news/bangor/cohen-simpson-urge-americans-to-take-control-of-their-government-demand-elected-officials-work-together/
COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS OPEN: BRAD PAISLEY AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD MOCK OBAMACARE --- Wednesday night's CMA (Country Music Association) awards opened up with a bang, incorporating Kenny Rogers, the Robertson family from "Duck Dynasty," and even a little Obamacare mockery. That's right, hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had a special segment and even song mocking the failed health care rollout that featured the pair pretending to sign up for Obamacare and then crooning about the failure. It all started while the pair was singing a new version of "Why Can't We Be Friends" that faked feuds between some of country music's biggest stars (including Kenny Rogers) and Paisley stopping abruptly to complain about back pain. That's when Underwood suggested trying to sign up for Obamacare.
"I started signing up last Thursday and I'm almost done," she said with a fake smile. "Let's go go the website and get you signed up."
That elicited laughs from the crowd as the pair went and grabbed a computer.
"Why's it spinning?" Paisley asked.
"Oh, it does that," Underwood responded.
"Why's it smokin'?" Paisley continued.
"Umm, I don't know," Underwood said, looking concerned into the camera. "Maybe we should restart it."
From there they broke out into a spoof of George Straight's classic "Amarillo by Morning," instead singing "Obamacare by morning/ Why's this taking so long?/I'm going to end up with hemorrhoids/If I sit her 'til dawn." It continued from there, even taking a shot at the reports that only six people were able to sign up the first day.
But what country music segment would be complete without the South's first family: the Robertsons of the hit show "Duck Dynasty." After the Obamacare mockery the clan made a special appearance to present the night's first award:
Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) took to the House Floor Monday and delivered a brief – yet awesome – skewering of Barack Obama, his administration and his vice president. Must-watch entertainment!
