Have you noticed, if into politics, how TV and the print media are making a big hullabaloo out of all 177 House Republicans voting against Obama's spending bill? One aspect of the vote you don't hear about are the 11 Democrats who voted with the Republicans. Kinda makes Obama look ineffective, doesn't it? The Prez is even blaming Rush Limbaugh for this right wing assault. Ads in three states are attacking Limbaugh. If you recall, Rush said he wanted Obama's policies to fail. MoveOn.Org has misrepresented the words of the Doctor of Democracy by telling the public in paid for ads that Rush wants Obama to fail. Heck, I want the elected Presidents policies to fail. I voted against him. Why would I want socialism in this country? All of a sudden he's elected so I fall into lock step. I don't think so.
Quite simply, and Democrats should know this, they started the refrain, "We support the troops but we don't support the mission" when referring to the Iraq War. When speaking of Obama policy we support the President but we don't support his mission. Sounds patriotic to me.

Economic Recovery according to B.H.O.
From Reuters: Obama said today that "recovery will take years not months"! I've really, really got to be careful how I state this. I have five grand babies with another one being perfectly formed as I write. I do not want them to think poorly of Grandpa Mike when they tell stories but---------there was a refrain going around among non-Obama voters before November 4. It went something like this: "How can you be so f'ing stupid?
Would someone, anyone, tell me how a recessionary recovery can last years? Surprise! I can. It's when the Democrat leadership sticks their Pinocchio noses into the fundamental process of allowing free markets to run their natural course.
Now, what was it I wrote yesterday about the Democrats being negative every second of every minute of every hour of every day? Oh yeah! They are eternally nauseating in their passion for the constant drumbeat of bad news, or something like that.

Presidential Siblings Spell Trouble
From CNN and posted on lucianne.com: "George Obama, twenty year younger half brother of the newest president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, has been arrested in his native Kenya."
The charges deal with marijuana possession. The lad's name is George. The President met him while touring the country, and, some say, influencing an election for their presidency in 2007. For a U.S. presidential candidate this is a no-no but, remember, we're talking about The One so the press let it slide. Obama's Muslim cousin, Raila Odinga, was running for the presidency of Kenya. Sad to say, he lost. Never fear, though. As retribution, his Muslim followers carried out a rampage against Christians killing hundreds in the process. In one example of heartless barbarity they locked the doors of a Christian Church and torched the place. Sixty men, women and children died. Our 44th president had earlier given a speech in honor of his Cuz, Odinga. The Title: Hope and Change!
But, let me step back a pace or two. George Obama, one of 6,000 Obama siblings, give or take a few, and carrying on in the fine tradition of Roger Clinton and Billy Carter cannot be solely blamed for his current predicament.(Don't accuse me of bias-Nixon's brother was a drunk). Where was his half brother in this entire struggle? Once exposed as living in poverty shouldn't BO have come to the aid a family member? Harkening back to his acceptance speech in Denver he assured us all that we are all "our brother's keepers". The kid, who until two years ago, had never heard of his Bro, lived in a 12'X12' corrugated metal hut in what is known as "East Crapsville" just outside of Nairobi. He earned, at what I don't know, less than $1 dollar a day. For those of you who didn't pay attention in school this computes to somewhere around $350 max. I'd read in other periodicals that it was more like five bucks a month but why quibble over chewing gum money.
Honestly, I've never tried the weed a.k.a. gange, Mari Jane, Whackatabacky, Zig Zag Man, but wouldn't it cost a dollar or more? If it's cheaper, I've solved our recessionary problem. Move to Kenya.
So, is this going to be a part of the 24-hour news cycle, here and gone, or is the real "George of the Jungle" going to get some help from The Man? If not, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson I and II, Whoopie Goldberg and the Congressional Black Caucus, where are you when needed? Somebody needs to step up to the plate.

Super Bowl Gloom
Wow! Did you catch today's interview from Head Coach, Ken Whisenhunt, of the Arizona Cardinals? In a jam packed press room 'The Whizzer' told how he saw his teams chances this coming Sunday---and it isn't pretty. "I just don't know how we can stay with the Steelers", he stated. "They have the very best linebacking corp in the NFL along with the best defense. Our wide receivers do not have the speed of the black and gold, even with us having All-Pro, Larry Fitzgerald. Kurt Warner has been our leader all year long but, quite frankly, he's old and not up to being a winner in Sunday's game." Finally, Coach Whisenhunt stated: "Vegas has us getting 8 points. It should be 18. Flat out, we're a bunch of losers".
Of course,I'm kidding about all of this but if you happen to listen to every interview coming from our new President down through every spokesperson this is the prevailing attitude. It's twenty-fours of doom and gloom and dread. We might as well lock ourselves in lead lined caskets. We're as good as dead. We've had seven, maybe eight recessions in my lifetime. I've survived them all; fat and happy. I've gone into recessions overweight and come out a bucket of oats heavier. Our economy is not the worst since the Great Depression. The Messiah finally admitted, yesterday, that this recession is the worst in three decades. Hmmm, thirty years, 1979. I believe that would be Jimmy Carter.
Folks, there has to be a ray of sunshine once in awhile. We have to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning without grabbing a couple of valium. I coached long enough to know if you continually tell your players they're crap they'll spend four hours looking for the Charmin. Face it, Democrats have made a living off of spouting bad news but there has to come a time when Americans say, "Stop. We've had enough"!

Taxes On Everyone?
Here is a financial update on the Dumbocrat spending bill: the $825 billion dollar price tag increases to $1.1 trillion with interest. This computes to $9,000 in taxes per family BUT since 50% of the families in this country pay 97% of the taxes..........Well, you figure it out!
Nine Percent
If you had a 9% approval rating from your bridge club members about your card playing ability this probably means you'd better take up darts. What if you had 10 golfing acquaintances but when polled only 9% of them said they enjoy your company. Worse yet, what if only 9% of your family members wanted to go on vacation with you---to Hawaii---and you were footing the bill.
You know where I'm going with this. Only 9% of the American people approve of the job being done by our Congress; Senate and House combined. Problem is, and this was illustrated immediately after the election, the American voter thought the Republicans controlled both houses.
So, let me go through this again: Harry Reid is the Majority Leader of the Senate and Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. She is still third in line to be President, directly after Barry and Joe.

The Blago Divorce
There was a Hollywood movie that came out in 1967 titled, Guide For The Married Man. It starred a number of comedic people and was a humorous attempt to show the philandering ways of despicable men. Once again, the human brain is rather complex, or maybe it's only me. The memory of this movie came to me as I was thinking of Governor Rod Blagojevich and his appearance before the Illinois legislature proclaiming his innocence in the "pay to play" scandal. In the movie, there is a scene with either Robert Morse or Joey Bishop. I can't remember who and it makes no difference. One of these guys is in bed with a comely, buxom, beautiful lady; not his wife. All of a sudden the man's spouse enters the bedroom. Without saying a word, both of the adulterer's get out of bed and begin putting on their clothes. The wife is insane, yelling and screaming. The two culprits, still quiet, finish dressing and eventually the seductress leaves the room. Her husband keeps saying, "what are you talking about?, nothings going on. There wasn't a woman in here. You're seeing things". Finally, the wife is convinced that she made the whole thing up even though the tryst was right in front of her.
This is the Blago scenario. The adulterous affair, or rape, if you prefer, involves the citizens of the Illini state. The guv is attempting to convince the people of Illinois that nothing happened; that no illicit sex occurred. The spouse of Illinois is the Democrat Party so it is she (they) who will decide whether or not the philanderer can get up and walk out without being served divorce papers.
