Republican Eric Cantor Concerned About Growing 'Mobs' On Wall Street

In a shameless but hardly surprising display of partisan hypocrisy, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) referred to the Occupy Wall Street protests as “growing mobs.”

Why is this hypocritical? Well it has something to do with his enthusiastic support of Tea Party protests back in 2009.

You can hear his almost 3:00 minute peroration here, and you will note that very few American platitudes are overlooked, including reference to American exceptionalism and what a giving and generous people Americans are. Few emptier speeches have I recently heard.

The Blowhard Donald Trump Finally Gets His Presidential Comeupetance

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who takes special pleasure in seeing blowhards cut down to size. (Indeed, aren't most of us hoping for that with Monday's election results?) Stateside, I can think of no bigger waste of resources and airtime than Donald Trump who, many will recall, took real pleasure in claiming victory in the recent White House decision to release Obama's birth certificate to prove that he is indeed an American, something that has long been disputed by racist fringe elements in that country, the Tea Party's 'birthers' being probably the best-known of such groups.

At this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner, Obama finally got his revenge. While his jokes may not have been consistent, the look on guest Donald Trump's face was. Pay close attention to it in this video, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
