It’s Not My Fault!

For a while now we’ve been hearing “the buck stops with me” from our illustrious President Barack Obama.  He has attempted to become the great Democratic leader of the new century.  Unfortunately, he is unable to force things to go his way.  To date, not a single victory can be added to his tally book, but the rapidly growing string of failures is tipping the scales of trust in a terribly dangerous direction for BHO.  The fact is, however, his most notable failure to date is his inability to stop blaming President G. W. Bush for everything up to, and including, killing Cock Robin. 

Almost obsessively, Mr. Obama raves about the terrible state of the economy under Bush, not to mention all that he (Obama) has had to do to fix it.  Forgetting that the economy has been in freefall for his entire  presidency, Obama cannot, and will not, pass up an opportunity to let us know that he ‘inherited’ all this from Bush.

If he really wants to talk about the economy, he should consider that the people are so very tired of the finger pointing.  It was Bush, it was the bankers, it was Fanny Mae, it was….  They don’t care any more Mr. Obama.  What they want is some good news for a change.  Granted, things seem to be very slowly starting to turn, but with all the HUNDEREDS of BILLIONS of dollars Obama has been throwing at the problem one would expect far more positive results by now.  Or at least that is the result we were told by the congress, and the administration, to expect.

This is, however, not the least of the problems that Mr. Obama has to deal with these days.  From the day he entered office, the terrorists world wide have had a field day.  His actions at home, and overseas, have given them a gift they could never have even dreamed of.  A leader of the United States that is even weaker then they had imagined possible.

Just as an example, he was unable to make a reasonable decision on how to prosecute the war in Afghanistan.  Then again, he could only make available a total of around an hour of his critically important time to speak with the General he appointed to run the war.  There were too many other far more important things he had to do.  Such as flying off to get the Olympics for his home town.  Though, now that I think of it he failed at that too. However, after many weeks of hand ringing he finally made a decision that, so far, has not born much fruit either.

Now he plans to bring these war criminals to our own shores and give them rights as American citizens in order that we can give them a trial in American courts.

He admits to his team’s ‘screw-up’ in the botched Christmas airliner attack, but, has made it a point to note all the good that he believes the government has done in protecting us.

“Our progress has been unmistakable,” Obama said as the new year began. “We’ve disrupted terrorist financing, cutting off recruiting chains, inflicted major losses on al-Qaida’s leadership, thwarted plots here in the United States and saved countless American lives.”  I wonder why he failed to note that every Intelligence program now in place he also ‘inherited’ from G. W. Bush.  Or that Bush & Co. had already been keeping us very safe for quite a few years when he was elected.

Every time he opens his mouth to offer us a dose of his own special perspective, he sinks his foot even deeper because he fails to remember that the American public lives by the credo “What have you done for me lately?”, and “lately” normally translates to no more they one month.

The fact is, Mr. O, where terrorism is concerned, very few Americans are concerned about any success they were previously unaware of.  They are, however, very concerned about a public failure that causes them to remember the details of the deaths of 3,000+ of their brothers, and sisters.

As if these failures are not enough for the Anointed One’s tastes, then of all things, he hands us the same old song and dance that’s been passed around for more then thirty years.  The planet is warming, the planet is warming!!! Did they miss the point that the overall world temperature has reduced by two degrees? That we are facing the coldest winters in more then 50 years?  They must have, because now, according to Hillary,  he wants to spend (are you ready for this?) as much as $TEN-BILLION (that is $10,000,000,000.00) each year to help third world countries with their global warming problems.  This is on top of what they expect us to pay to keep our own house clean and green.  Now I don’t know how your see it, but to me, that’s a heck of a lot of money.  That we don’t have, by the way.!!  Guess it’s time to go back to China for another loan.  Oh, that’s right, China is one of those countries we are supposed to help.

Would you like to know where that money is supposed to come from?  Yes, I’m afraid your right.  It’s supposed to come from you, and me, through a new bill (read that as TAX) waiting in the wings called Cap and Tax.  Sorry, that’s Cap and Trade.  I’ve written about this program before, and the details fall squarely into the category terrifying.  The basics are that you are expected to pay for all the carbon generated as a result of your being on the planet.

The details would take many pages to discuss, but you can believe this will be a bill that will make anyone that makes less then a million dollars each year part of the working poor.

“Enough, enough” you say.  Not really.  This is why there are so many people like me out there today.  Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Schumer, and the rest of the Liberals literally stay up nights to figure out things for us to write about.  This has to be their goal in life, because the pool of material is very deep and very wide.

There is, however, a point to my ramblings.  We have a chance this very year to do something about it.  We have an election this November that could easily bring the congress back under the control of reasonable people.  Those that are in congress now need to be given pink slips and sent packing.  I do not limit this to Democrats alone, by the way.  There are a number of Republicans that should not be re-elected under any circumstances either.  Every one of us need to get involved and learn who should and should not be retained.

For me, I would retain none of them.  At the very least, this would send the message to the rookies that we will not allow them to do this to us again.

FIRE CONGRESS!!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!!
