"Did you plug the hole Daddy?"

Obama's press conference last week was a disgrace. He believes his "golden voice" will always carry the day, so instead of answering questions directly and to the point, he filibusters to simply use up time. It's a classic tactic for a blowhard politician - set a specific time for the press conference and then use up the time by giving long meaningless answers to limit the questions. And Obama is a master at it. It took him 30 minutes in a one hour press conference to answer the first two questions - both about the oil spill.

And then to use these stupid anecdotes to show how the problem is foremost in his mind; like his daughter coming into the bathroom in the morning and asking "Did you plug the hole daddy?" It reminds me of the Democratic Representative during the Health Care debate telling the story of the old lady that had to use her dead sister's false teeth because she had no medical insurance. These politicians must think the American people are just plain stupid.

And then our "leader" goes to the Gulf for a photo op shown picking up tar balls on the beach. He looks at the camera and explains: "See these tar balls, they are actually from the oil spill". Thanks Mr. President we did not know that.

Then he's off to Chicago for a long weekend vacation rather than honor our dead soldiers at Arlington on Memorial Day. As one crusty old veteran put it; "I'm glad he's not going to Arlington, it would soil that hallowed ground". I suspect most of the military feel the same way.

So to those who read my Blog that are Obama fans, I apologize if this is harsh. But the hole I would like to plug is his mouth; when he opens it we all know it's more of the same - all talk and no action.

I am sick...

I am sick of this weak, left wing socialistic President of ours apologizing to the world for our country's faults. He not only stood next to Mexican President Calderon and criticized the Arizona immigration law today, he then stood by while Calderon criticized and "advised" us on how we should change our immigration laws - I almost came out of my chair watching this spectacle.

And then President Calderon went before Congress and criticized our immigration laws, and our gun laws, and we watched the Democrats give him standing ovations. As they say in professional sports "You do not come into my house and disrespect me". The Republicans should have acted like a bunch of NBA thugs and put Calderon in his place. All the while our lily-livered President stood by and let him put this country down while the "Demos" gave Calderon "standing o's".

Excuse this blog - I have had a martini and am fuming at what I saw on the news today. How did we ever elect this lightweight as our President?

Read the G D bill!

A majority of Americans were frustrated when the monstrous Health Care bill was passed and most of us suspected that the politicians who voted for it probably never read it. The bill is 2000+ pages long. I have tried to read it and I guarantee that not one of those politicians read the complete bill. It is a bureaucratic, legal nightmare, and it would have been impossible for anyone to read it completely in the short time they had before voting. Someone once said; "A camel is a horse designed by a committee". There must have been a hundred committees that designed this Health Care bill.

We send these politicians to Washington to represent us because we think they are smart and then they behave more like moronic ideologues and "political lemmings" rather than representatives of the people.

But what is inexcusable are the recent events when the administration's key people including the President, publicly condemned the Arizona immigration bill and then in an embarrassing set of events Attorney General Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and even State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley all admitted on national television that they had not read the bill - all 17 pages of it. Yet they have all condemned the bill and accused Arizona of discrimination and racial profiling, following the lead of their President.

And the main stream media are complicit by not reporting that 70% of Arizonans and 65 % of the country are in favor of this bill which explicitly prohibits racial profiling.

From the Health Care bill, to this response to the Arizona bill, it is obvious that our politicians simply have lost touch with the "main stream" of this country and I hope that in November American voters "clean house" - whether Democratic or Republican, and elect politicians that will start representing the people and move this country back toward the Republic our founders envisioned.
