Who is winning the PR war in DC? Obama? Boehner?

Pres. Obama speech in the PR war over our national debt:  "Would you rather reduce deficits and interest rates by raising revenue from those who are not now paying their fair share, or would you rather accept larger budget deficits, higher interest rates, and higher unemployment? And I think I know your answer.

Those words were spoken by Ronald Reagan. But today, many Republicans in the House refuse to consider this kind of balanced approach - an approach that was pursued not only by President Reagan, but by the first President Bush, President Clinton, myself, and many Democrats and Republicans in the United States Senate. So we are left with a stalemate."

What do those swirling soapy brushes in automated car washes have in common with the infamous WEED WACKER?  Apparently, everything. The inventor of the weed wacker, George Ballas, died last week. He created the "must have landscaper's tool" after taking his car to the car wash in 1971. By '76, he had turned his invention into a $42 million company. How? How? Television marketing. That's right. More than 40 years ago, George Ballas, took his invention to the TV airwaves nationwide and made his mark as one of the first telemarketers. But do you know what his true love was and how he turned that into a thriving business? Maybe you do. Think 1, 2,  cha, cha, cha.
