Hollywood Left is pissed at the Prez
 
Looks like the Google boys and their fellow travelers have had their say, and the Prez is backing them instead of the traditional Dem donors from Big Media.

They might not give their money, but I suspect the Prez is looking at his incoming funding and deciding that he can do without the Left coast's funding during this election cycle. Besides, I can't imagine that the Left would line up to vote for Romney, so its a relatively safe position to take.

Frankly, I think the administation is doing the right thing - though potentially not for the right reasons - to squash SOPA. But just when I start to think Obama may have seen he light, he turns around and squashes the oil pipeline.

I'm pissed at the Hollywood Left. Those guys haven't put out a real blockbuster in decades.

In the meantime, companies AND workers could be making money. It's the ecomony?

The shame is it's only for possible poltical gain, but what isn't these daze, eh?

Hoping the thermo energy thing kicks off here in NV soon along with the bullet train to LA (though having more LA folks here would be the downside ;) )
