Friday Morning Ramblings -- Absolutely Nothing To Do With The Bakken -- Much Of It Political

1. For Spur fans, last night's game was an embarrassment.

2. I can't find any silver lining in Drudge's Friday morning headline: Obama tells donors: second term to re-do health care.  If the president is re-elected, "we" may start out all over again debating socialized health care / national health care. One wonders if an insider on the court has told the president who is writing the majority opinion for this landmark case.

3. 766,000 more women now unemployed than when he took office almost four years ago. Hope and change.

4. Perhaps the most interesting political news today: the report that former President Bill Clinton put out a statement in support of Mitt Romney on a specific topic, suggesting to his own party that they are wrong on this issue.  Speaking out on an economic issue at this particular moment speaks volumes.

5. CNBC talking head: the president would benefit by approving the Keystone XL before the election.

6. CNBC John Harwood starting to shift stance on Obama-Romney race.
