Friday night videos episode 21

It’s time for another edition of Friday Night Videos. This one will be mostly political, since these were the items which piqued my interest.

We’ll start out with Washington News-Observer’s chat with Rep. Darrell Issa of California on a number of subjects.

WNO also asked an assortment of Congressmen about the fate of the health care bill after Scott Brown’s election. My guess is this was taped during the pro-life rally last week since they were outdoors.

Just a little name dropping about the cast of characters: Bob Latta was my State Representative when I last lived in Ohio. I’ve done a couple conference calls with Cathy McMorris Rodgers and she’s quite well-spoken. (You’ll see more of her.) And last night one of the other guests on the radio show I did with Melody Scalley was Rep. Louie Gohmert. Small world.

Here’s the second video with Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Obama talked about transparency, the Republicans put it into action.

We go from current members of Congress to a past member talking about how future members should run for election. This would be one Newt Gingrich.

It’s all about the ’80-20′ issues, huh? Let’s ask Dede Scozzafava or Wayne Gilchrest about that. If those two were 50-50 I’d be shocked.

In other news, the Center for Individual Freedom was among many who were pleased with the Citizens United ruling. The group’s Renee Giachino explains in their “Freedom Minute” (which is actually about 4 minutes.)

President Obama was among those who dissed the Supremes’ decision, and Americans for Prosperity put together a video of their members’ reaction to the State of the Union at gatherings across the country.

It’s probably a good thing they didn’t do the local gathering. *ahem*

Finally, it’s time for local music to wrap this up. This is the cover band Gravy, doing their version of the CSNY protest song “Ohio.”

I have two or three more videos from the event, but as the old Hollywood saying goes, “always leave them wanting more.” So I will, until next week!
