OK...here is what I remember about this week's events. First there was the handing of the gavel from the Botox lady to the Orange man. Then the Republicans demanding that we give 7 trillion dollars in extended tax cuts to the top 1% and if not...nobody gets any....none for those damn middle class. Social Security reform....remember Al Gore and his Lock Box...not so funny anymore is it. Extend the retirement age...that way more people will die before they reach retirement so they won't be sucking at the national teet.
Alan Greyson (D-Florida) was defeated. You know...the one who said the republicans plan for health care was to "not get sick, if you do get sick, die quickly". Oh how the right wing was so outraged. However...what is on their agenda...repealing health care reform. Oh how we punish the truth tellers in this twisted country.
Next onto Obama. Can we all just agree that he is not the man to send into a negotiation of any kind. The folks in the far east where he was seeking trade treaties laughed at him. He was ranked the 2nd most powerful man in the world under China's premiere. (for whatever that's worth) China pretty much owns the USA anyway...so...seems fairly accurate and non news worthy to me. I don't see the point of sending a man into a negotiation that already tells the other side what he will settle for? I thought the idea was to ask for much more then you want, then negotiate down to the point where you get what you actually want? Is that too complicated for a constitutional professor to understand?
Finally...this reaching across the aisle crap. Even a 2 year old learns that if they touch the hot stove and get burned...stop reaching over and touching the hot stove! Not Obama...after two years of the "friends on the other side" giving nothing, agreeing on nothing, blocking everything, making virtual grid lock of the government and making the achievements that were made look insignificant....Obama still says he looks forward to working with his "friends on the other side". News flash...you have no friends on the other side. They hate you. They hate everything you stand for, everything you are, everything you are trying to do, they are just one big ole' bunch of hate. If it were up to them, they would stop playing, take the ball and go home. Damn the consequences. I mean...why not, they have not suffered any for their deplorable actions to this point, why would they be worried about that now.
I guess I have one more thing. Did you see the ground breaking of the Bush Library. Just the title alone makes me laugh, I mean...has he ever really read a book? I know he is on a book tour right now...(can you say ghost writer and plagiarism, many of the passages of Bush's book have been lifted from Bob Woodward's book). Chenney hobbled his way out to his chair on stage...only thing missing was the black long coat with the hood and a cycle. That's all I could take...the war criminal supporting the other war criminal on his book tour of a book he did not write, breaking ground on a library that is sure to revise the entire debacle known as the criminal enterprise "The Bush administration".
That's enough for now...stock up on canned goods.
