Wasn't going to take time for this because I really have a lot of paying work to do. However, I've just picked myself up off the floor following the Rock Star President's unveiling of his budget -- yeah, took 24 hours to return to consciousness -- and I just can't keep my mouth shut.
Perhaps ominously, at about the same time Obama was revealing his Master Plan, I heard something like a sonic boom and all the power in my house went out. CommEd suggests it was a blown transformer. I asked if anyone else had reported it. They said they couldn't violate my neighbors' privacy. What? Anyway, obviously, the power has been restored. Wish I could say as much for the nation as a whole.
What can one say about a $3.6 TRILLION budget? Following $1.5 TRILLION in "Stimulus" and $450 BILLION in pork (no quotes around that one)? And this prez has been in office for only a few days over one month. And the nation's supposedly in one of the worst economic situations it has been in since Jimmy Carter.
I love it when Obama looks at the audience with a disengenuous half-smile and says, "Isn't this what you voted for last November?"
No, sir, that isn't what I voted for last November. And as I recall, no one really had a very good idea of exactly what the now-prez was promoting before the election. Couldn't nail him down. Just a feel-good "We can do it!" platform, and pretending he had inherited the mantle of Abraham Lincoln.
Joe the plumber seems to have gotten the closest to the truth of it when he asked Obama if he was a socialist. Obama looked at him with that disengenuous half-smile and changed the subject to something like, "Aren't you thrilled that you get to stand next to me?"
Joe didn't seem thrilled.
I'm not either.
One could reasonably expect that our illustrious congress could provide a check on the prez. After all, the legislative branch has as much power as the executive branch. But do you think they will? I doubt it. Apparently they're afraid of losing any opportunity to bask in the light that surrounds Mr. Miracle-Man in the oval office.
The Republicans are ticked off. Apparently a quantum leap toward socialism is required to remind them of what the USA is supposed to be all about and why they're in office. They apparently had forgotten much of this while they had a majority.
And the two silly twits from Maine -- why do they remind me of Cary Grant's fatuous aunts in "Arsenic and Old Lace"? -- and Arlen Specter -- who, after all, watched the SuperBowl at the White House, so owes Obama a big one -- will go skipping down the halls of the Capitol, hand-in-hand with Pelosi and "Give-'em-pork Harry" Reid. And just in case the Idiot Triplets back out, congress circumvented the US Constitution yesterday and gave the District of Columbia a vote in the Senate.
What has the US become? This is a disgrace. This is an offense against humanity.
One reason the US attracted so many immigrants is because the world appears to understand that if the bullshit gets too thick in their own countries.... Well, there's always America.
Guess what? There's no more America.
