This POTUS of ours never ceases to surprise me.
It seems that it is not enought that, in the middle of sinking approval rates and countless voters with buyer's remorse, he is pushing backroom deals to grab 1/6 of the US economy with his Obamacare, he is seriously risking the national security of this country, he's pushing for a cap & trade scam that will be a coup de grace to our economy, he's taking deficit, national debt and goverment power to extreme limits never seen before, and there is the effort to irreversibly damage our Constution and our God given rights of free speech and bear arms... but it seems that all that is not enought to keep him entertained.
On top of being the Messiah that constantly tell us we're too stupid to really understand his Obamacare, he now wants to be The Translator in Chief.
Really?!
As someone with a totally vested interest in the topic, because I am a professional in the translation and interpretation field - and totally biased with the disaster Mr. Obowama is inflicting in this great nation - one thing is clear for me: the man must be going nuts.
Someone needs to ration his TOTUS hours.
Seriously.
Use duct tape if necessary but please, make it stop.
Memo to Obama:
“Are we against technology? Certainly not,” continued Stejskal. “Most translators use computer tools to speed up their work.” However, “both translation software and qualified human translators are vital to language security,” he noted. “Today all the leading proponents of computer translation recognize that human beings will always be essential, no matter how sophisticated translation programs become.”
Mr. President, for your information, a mistaken and lousy translation or interpretation goes beyond the ridicule nonsense of a business document or marketing website.
In some fields, like in the justice and court system, it could mean ruining the life of a innocent forever, or viceversa. In the medical field - where I work - it translates (no pun intended) into a safety issue.
And that means that a human life could be at stake.
Will you get it now? - don't think so.
But, anyway, what will be next?!
Him telling me how many times a week I should... oops, never mind.
BTW, there has been a 15% increase in the demand for language translators and interpreters in the US.
Oh! Wait... maybe POTUS is planning a plan B to get a job as translator when he gets kick out of the WH in three years? Dunno...

Quote of the Day
Obama's Nobel Peace Prize - your hot spot news for the week - is being dismissed from left, right, and everything in between; brought to you but no other than his own sycophants at msnbc.com.
The golden nugget is:
"I'm not sure what the international community loved best; his waffling on Afghanistan, pulling defense missiles out of Eastern Europe, turning his back on freedom fighters in Honduras, coddling Castro, siding with Palestinians against Israel, or almost getting tough on Iran." GOP Rep. Gresham Barrett - who is running for governor of South Carolina
And the crash-course to get your own NPP, courtesy of conservative columnist Tommy De Seno, is:
1-Party
2-Go to meetings
3-Skip church
4-Release federal funding (Americans taxpayers monies, in case you didn't know from where federal monies come) to pay for abortions in foreign countries
5-Party some more
Go ahead! Start this weekend your very own path to the Nobel Prize!

Twisted priorities
Move over, Gandhi. Your intentions - or efforts - were never good enough.
By now every single living cell on planet earth has been awakened with the news that Obama won the Peace Nobel Prize.
Nope, we're not in April. And you better don't laugh, otherwise, you could be red-flagged as terrorist - what if you are an Independent or Libertarian, but you're laughing anyway?
My first reaction? Wait a minute, I haven't drank enough Cuban coffee yet, my brain is not fully alert, I need another...
Then the simple logic of a thinking human brain kicked in, and I posted in Facebook: "... and what exactly has Obama done for peace?". Let's say that I could gladly use three examples, you know, just to keep the tradition.
Later on the news were reporting the Nobel committee purportedly said the award was not exactly for anything Obama has done, but for his intentions. Really?
A Chinese dissident and an Afghan women’s rights activist lost out to that. And the Iranians who took out the streets to defend their elections didn't even make it to the finals.
Mahatma Gandhi was nominated several times to the Nobel Prize, including the year that he was killed. But he never received it. Ergo, I can't get past the sick, twisted priorities that I am seeing around us lately...
Just another example of the uselessness of the Nobel prize. Really wanna do something for peace? Try anything, BUT the Nobel Prize. Where is Kanye West now?
Being in office for, like 11 months, my most conservative math estimate tells me that Obama was proposed to the award after being at the WH for, three weeks?
Which intentions or efforts were materialized by then, other that your standard politician's campaign promises (something, that, by the way, haven't changed that much either).
And, apparently, I am not the only one with this line of thoughts. Norwegians had made a political statement for someone they HAVE NOT to deal with, at least directly. That is, en pocas palabras, a lot of audacity.
On top of that, the laureate wins a gold medal, a diploma and 10 million Swedish crowns (1.4 million dollars or 878,000 pounds). I know; ACORN, stop worrying about being de-funded!
For those out there saying they are just happy because the crazy right wingers are irritated - which also proves my theory of the uselessness of this theater - I will answer just one thing:
I am not irritated.
I am just LMAO!
PS: my mother, with her endless sabiduría, only said "De buenas intenciones está lleno el camino hacia el infierno." [The way to hell is also paved of good intentions.]
UPDATE: the Nobel Prize as a certificate of political correctness, people's endless obsession with falsehood and more reactions.
Me? Don't you worry about me!
I've told you; I am still laughing at this endless stupidity.
