The President was at the University of Michigan today where he said the following (Video at this link):

"We do not begrudge wealth in this country. I want everybody here to do well. We aspire to financial success, but we also understand that we're not successful just by ourselves," President Obama said at a campaign event in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Friday morning.

"We're successful because somebody started the University of Michigan. We're successful because somebody made an investment in all the federal research labs that created the internet. We're successful because we have an outstanding military that costs money. We're successful because somebody built roads and bridges. And laid broadband lines and these things didn't just happen on their own. And if we all understand that we've got to pay for this stuff, it makes sense for those of us who've done best to do our fair share and to try to pass off that bill on to somebody else, that's not right. That's not who we are,"

The film 'Act of Valor' was filmed with real Navy Seals and military members. The film looks cool and is definitely on my must see list. What about you?

From last night's Republican debate in Florida.

ABC News reports:

Robert “Bobby” Hegyes, best known for playing Juan Epstein on “Welcome Back Kotter,” died in his Metuchen, N.J. home today.

He was 60.

Hegyes’ brother told New Jersey’s Star-Ledger that Hegyes, who also starred on “Cagney and Lacey,” had suffered a heart attack a few years ago and was in poor health.

Police responded to a call for assistance at his home this morning.

They found Hegyes suffering from chest pains; he was taken to a hospital in Edison, N. J., but by the time he reached the emergency room, he went into full cardiac arrest and died, a hospital spokesman told the paper.

Hegyes wrote in a note on his website that he modeled the character of the scheming half-Jewish, half-Puerto Rican Epstein on Chico Marx, noting that all the Marx Brothers were both "intellectuals" and "juvenile delinquents," adding, "I could definitely relate."

One of my favorite scenes featuring Epstein in Welcome Back Kotter. Thank you for the laughs Juan.

Joseph Curl at the Washington Times breaks down the State of the Union which President Obama has termed as 'great.' This is well worth a few minutes of your time to find and figure out who is to blame for the state we find ourselves in today.
