The Ports Deal

And so it's over. The people have spoken, and the people generally get precisely what they want. As for me? I will, as often times, walk alone on this issue. In today's world, when as a street person in Hong Kong, you can sell your product to me in Bellevue... if you do not think this is a 'world economy' you have your head so far into that elephants butt it is unrecoverable.

And now today, TODAY after literally raping the administration with their bile, Ms. Couric, the Washington Post, just to name a couple, wonder.... what did we really accomplish. They were just going to 'manage' the ports, not be in charge of security. I feel bile in my throat when I read things like that from these people. I find it hard to even breathe at times.
We had a meeting with a financial advisor today; during the course of that meeting this deal came up, and he admitted 'he' was against the deal. Cited 'security', because that is what the media has fed us day in, day out - when I hear a congressman speak of it in security terms I wonder what else the lawmaker does not know. They are the creators of the laws in this country; for them at this point to believe that deal was about security (IN THIS COUNTRY) is frightening.

It is for certain the administration bungled this whole thing. On my prayer list is this - please let Halliburton have the highest bid for taking over the ports. It would be so very poetic to see em all squirm. I think I might even do a back flip in the cul de sac.

BTW just so nobody thinks I am inconsistent on this issue - I will say again, if the argument was they wanted to stop foreign 'ownership', please so state... I was not for the takeover of the Panama Canal, I certainly was not for the Chinese taking over the port of Long Beach - oh, that's right, that was with Senor Bill in the White House, so that was OK... nope, my only real fight is twofold, 1) the absurb way The President's administration sold the deal, and 2) the fact the opposition used security as their selling point (both republicans and democrats) - they are IGNORANT and should be sent packing!!!
