Credit Where It Is Due

   Regardless my day to day opinion of our President, I will give him credit for his administration of the drone program.  President Obama has in fact, increased the usage of this program and has excellent results.  There are definitely other things The President has been doing I an 180 degrees out of phase with, but the drone program is not one of them.  Thank you Mr. President!

This’n That

   If you ‘ever’ had reason to believe Jon Huntsman was wrong to run for the Republican nomination, it has been revealed Michael Moore has selected Huntsman to challenge President Obama as an independent.  What an endorsement.

   I can remember a long time ago writing that racism in this country as deteriorated since President Obama took office.  It now seems the media is beginning to agree.  It is a sad sad commentary to me, because I still remember when The President was in Iowa oh so many months ago.  I remember saying something to the affect; if he can sway the people of Iowa, he can go along way.  The people of Iowa were sold a bill of goods – we can now confirm.

   I’m not sure what to make of Christie of New Jersey – just not sure.  I do like what I’ve seen.  Joy Behar is now asking point blank if America is ready for a fat president.  Can you just imagine if, oh don’t even bother.  The  left always has, and always will be able to get away with things such as Joy said without recrimination.  I ‘do’ know already there are some things about Mr. Christie I do not like, but, considering the alternative?  Elect him!

Tis that time of year folks – the leaves are trying to tell us something.

The Awakening

   I think it is fairly obvious these days Americans are waking up to the nightmare they are living.  If you are a news junkie like I am, you cannot read too many headlines these days that do not question this Presidency.  And the media is now realizing they did not do their due diligence on The President while he was running for office.  Note these recent headlines:  ‘Libs Vow Primary Challenge Against Obama’ or, from the Chicago Tribune:  ‘Why He Should Withdraw From Race’,  and the best for me is New York Times columnist David Brooks admitting he is a sap for having believed.  http://goo.gl/JGPAa

   I ‘think’ people are also  waking up to this ‘tax the rich’ business – let us take this Warren Buffett crap one more time and put it in a different light.  Mr. Buffett is worth between 45 and 50 billion depending on whom you believe. 

   This country pays 4 billion dollars a day to service it’s debt.  If you took every dime Mr. Buffett has, it would pay our service charges for about twelve days.  Now, does that not at least suggest we need to cut spending just abit? 

   I am not now, nor have I ever, suggested Buffett is doing anything illegal.  There are so many loopholes created by our ‘lawmakers’, and Buffett durn sure has the means to pay accountants to find those loopholes.  My anger with him and those that espouse what he’s been saying is, they are not being truthful.  They are comparing the taxes he pays on ‘his’ income (mainly capital gains), to his secretaries normal income.  Just is not the same and makes me so mad I could spit nails.

   Does any of this guarantee the defeat of The President?  Nope, but it does give me hope when I see evidence of awakening being blatantly printed in our news sources.

Do As I Say–Not As I Do

   The rhetoric coming from the left post the shooting of Gabby Gifford was deafening.  Seems just prior to the wingnut shooting the congresswoman Ms. Palin had talked about targeting democrats in the political races in Arizona.  Without rehashing the meaning of the word targeting, democrats used those words to imply Sarah was responsible for the shooting.  Bunch of crap – period!

   Now comes the Hoffa incident calling for ‘taking out the S.O.B.s – it is absolutely delicious listening to the left justifying Hoffa’s remarks.  Personally I don’t give a hoot.  I’ve been called much worse than an S.O.B. and considering who it is coming from, I will take it as a compliment.

   Ms. Pelosi is ticked the GOP is not responding to President Obama’s speech on Thursday evening.  Evidently she is peeved because nobody on that side of the aisle will be able to ridicule ‘whomever’ the GOP may have given the task of responding.  In other words, she got her toy taken away.  They were deprived of ‘getting’ to ridicule. Makes me feel all squishy inside.  BTW – this little façade happens on ‘both’ sides. 

   http://goo.gl/C8ZgH  Need more proof the truth comes out when least expected?  When a supposedly unbiased newsman says ‘our pollsters’ are concerned ….  well, you get the picture.

   The issues within the postal service are massive.  Having worked there for a period of time (not a long period), I do know they are not overpaid.  I also know there is a massive discrepancy between what the human costs are in the postal service as opposed to UPS and FedEx.  Something is wrong somewhere.  The scare stories about shutting them down is only the tip of the iceberg.  Parks, firefighters, police… does anyone notice a theme here?  Government…..something is wrong.  Wonder what it could be. Anything to do with public services is going to be put out there to make you/us say… we cannot do without ‘THAT’!! But, I suspect in the end we all will have to do with less.
