A recent poll shows 77% of Americans dislike Congress and 17% like Congress. One can only assume that the other 6% are aliens from outer space.
Democrats are running around like crazy and asserting that they don’t want to see our taxes go up. You noticed how they all stood up and demanded a vote to extend the Bush tax cuts before they headed for the hills?
Speaking of heading for the hills, it’s also interesting to see how many of those guys who did not read the Health Care Plan but voted for it anyway are now fidgeting in their chairs when the subject comes up. Judging by the looks on their faces, you’d certainly think someone had just passed some bad gas.
And, speaking of aliens from outer space, California’s Jerry Brown is zeroing in on Meg Whitman for the governor’s spot. Those who were around forty or so years ago will fondly remember good old “Moonbeam” Brown. I wonder how his main squeeze of the time, Linda Ronstadt, is doing these days. Isn’t life sooooo wonderful?
Don’t you wonder how a President has the guts to take on a cable news network which has more viewers than all of the other news networks combined? Watch out! A guy with this much audacity might even be inclined to shove a Health Care Plan through Congress when 72% of Americans are against it.
The stock market is up. Sometimes I wonder if Geithner and Company is investing some of that unused/unreturned TARP money to keep the market up going in to the election, but then I remember that he’s a close and personal friend of Rahmbo and I know that he’d never consider doing anything like that. No, really, I'm not being sarcastic. Not a chance.
What I DO know is that there are one helluva lot of Americans out of work these days for one helluva long time, and our President is obsessed with getting an interview with THE ROLLING STONE mag. I wonder what Stanley McChrystal has to say about that? But, now that the recession is over, I guess all of those people will be going back to work Monday anyway.
And, as long as we’re speaking of things, we’re sorry to see Rahmbo exit to stage left. Chicago’s loss is our gain. It will be awhile before we know if Rouse is a grouse or a louse or a mouse in that big old White House.
So, Obama invites some family of a deceased World War 1 hero over for a presentation and White House hoopla, and one of his aids throws out one of the family, a 10-year-old boy, because he was wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt with a picture of the hero on it. Hooray for the White House for underscoring Obama’s priorities in life; whatever it takes, show them who’s the biggest snob in all of the land. Thank God the kid didn’t ask for a job. But, I do hear that Obama is inviting the young man to return; maybe they'll have a beer with Joe out on the White House lawn.
Barney Frank has evidently been upset because his name hasn’t been in the news much, so he lashed out and blamed the Tea Parties for trying to destroy him. That’s one of the favorite tricks of that team of Frankfarter, Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Rangel, Dodd and Waters: When the country knows what a despicable cad you really are, blame Bush or blame the Tea Parties. “Look, the right wing has been attacking me for a long time, and I think they're particularly upset because last summer, when everybody was dealing with these town meetings, I fought back. ... I think Tea Parties say I'm their worst one. I think they'd like to make an example of me, that if you fight back, you get punished. So I'm working hard.” Damned Tea Parties, anyway.
Pelosi says there’s no way that the Democrats can lose the House of Representatives. Harry Reid decided to change the subject of the November elections by calling for a vote on the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and…. promptly lost the vote. Oh, I'm just wild about Harry.
Well there, Reverend Wright, I think you’re right. And, we all thought you were left. Anyway, all of the chickens ARE finally coming home to roost.
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, without sarcasm or fanfare, respectfully submitted.
