Thoughtful people are so tired of hearing “It’s Bush’s fault.” You would think Democrats would be tired of saying it, but consider experience. Haven’t we all known some young man (or woman) breaking up with a completely desirable partner for someone they now can’t stand who complains constantly about the one they left. It helps make the current mistake look better. In the same way, Bush’s unemployment rate of 5% now looks a lot better than Obama’s 10%, but who wants to admit a mistake. Let’s complain more about the economy with Bush.
Our Democratic Congress has spent four years ruining our economy and I’m ready for a change. A problem is that I don’t trust the Republican establishment. I enjoyed an advertisement I saw on the internet saying we should go for the greening of Congress and re-cycle all of them. To me, the most encouraging political happening has been the Tea Party movement and the success of many of their amateurs in winning spots on Congressional races. I hope enough of them win seats in Congress to upset both of the current Democratic and Republican establishments.
Congress has established a Commission to investigate ways to lower our debt. Predictably, they are considering raising taxes. Steps under consideration include eliminating the tax deduction for the interest people purchasing homes pay, eliminating the child credit and taxing the part of your salary a company deducts for medical insurance. Those changes wouldn’t cost Pelosi and Reid a dime, much less a dollar. Who would pay? All married couples trying to purchase a house and raise children would pay these additional taxes. I doubt that anyone on the dole would pay them. Thinking of worthless people drawing tax money for doing nothing. I bet no member of Congress would pay any of them either.
An article I read on Google argued that Obama didn’t understand Middle America because of his experience, as he reported it, of “growing up in poverty.” Trying to remember reported facts, his father was a wealthy African chieftain; divdebt, taorced from him his mother married a wealthy Indonesian, taking Barack with her to Indonesia. When she left that husband, Barack was taken to live with his grandparents in Hawaii. His grandmother was vice-president of a bank, his grandfather a businessman. They sent him to an expensive, exclusive, private school. From there he obtained a scholarship, as an Indonesian, at a private college. I wish I had grown up in that kind of poverty! I know very few people who have experienced that kind of poverty. I bet there are a few hundred thousand citizens of the United States who have never known that kind of poverty (but wish they had). No wonder he doesn’t communicate well with most Americans! We work for our livings. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe President Obama knows anything about poverty – or honesty - and I am truly sorry. We need leaders in DC who know something about working Americans and honesty.
I have read an article that says Obama is “visiting” India along with a flotilla of 34 warships. It also mentioned that all the coconuts are being knocked off of the trees. When Obama arrives all of the nuts will be on the ground. The article did not mention how many airplanes, but Sheila says 40. She doesn’t know how many of these are fighters and how many are bombers. I have puzzled over this invasion force and think I know the answer, but FIRST, anyone who doesn’t have top secret clearance, talks in their sleep or drinks soda pop should immediately stop reading and burn the computer without reading further.
Now, for the one person still reading: Obama is invading India. It is a matter of extending his empire. He has made a secret deal with the Taliban (note that he has been holding talks with them.) When his invasion force arrives off the coast of India, the Taliban will provide a corridor through Afghanistan and, by arrangement, Pakistan will permit troops currently in Afghanistan to march south into India. Obama plans to re-colonize India with simultaneous invasions from the north and from the south. So the need for all of those planes is not to simply fly Michelle and her friends in for a visit, but to invade.
I should mention that Sheila thinks I am wrong. She believes the forty ships do not carry an invasion force. She believes they are to transport mercenaries from India back to WashingtonDC. There they will retake Congress from the Republicans.
Remember, this is top secret stuff. Don’t tell anyone, not even your teddy bear. Of course it is possible that a man who was raised in poverty, as Obama was, just likes company.
