We are not even three weeks into what I like to call the “Hallelujah Administration”
(remember Hillary saying that the heavens would open up and angels would sing….hence Hallelujah…rather like Camelot was a pseudonym for the Kennedy adminsitration), and things are beginning to fall apart. That is, if you are an Obama-ite. If, every time you see our President, you experience the vapors. If you are not one of these elite, then we are simply experiencing a good strong dose of reality. The reality of unreal campaign promises.
The real change that we were promised, and that we had the audacity to hope for, has given us one cabinet appointment who while he is a genius on monetary and fiscal policy, cannot even handle turbo tax without making big mistakes. Turbo Tax is really idiot proof. I use it; I know! He is going to administer the tax system. Another cabinet appointee, Eric Holder, is a dubious character, at best, someone who has admitted the error of asking for Marc Rich to be pardoned in the final hours of the Clinton Administration. The assistant attorney general , it turns out now, represented the porn industry in court. Wonderful! Nancy Killefer was going to be the federal government's chief performance officer – a position President Obama created – but it turns out she has employed illegal aliens in her home. Darn! Now, Tom Daschle has pulled his hat out of the ring. It’s those pesky taxes again. It appears that what is sauce for the Geithner Goose is not sauce for the Daschle gander. What was an honest mistake for Timmy is a serious embarrassment for Tommy. Even the Messiah has admitted that he screwed up in choosing Daschle, who is an honorable man they say, who just made a mistake…sounds like they’ve come to bury Caesar not to praise him.
Now to make things even worse, there is that salvific stimulus package. Every second that it doesn’t get passed, according to Mamma Pelosi, more poor Am,ericans are getting laid off. Yet, there’s more pork in it than there is in a Honey Baked Ham!
Picture this:
• Six hundred and fifty million dollars for Digital TV conversion. As though America cannot watch a Brit insult American performers on analog TVs.
• Seven hundred million dollars to help Americans quit smoking. It’s the liberal “throw money at it and it will go away” attitude to kicking a disgusting habit. What happened to smoking your last one and flushing the butt down the toilet as confirmation of your resolve that it was, indeed, your last one?
• One hundred thousand dollar for replacement doorbells…who the heck knows where these door bells are going?
• Six million dollars to convert hybrid cars into pure electric cars.
• Five hundred thousand dollars to build a dog park in Chula Vista California. I love my dogs. They sleep with me. They sit in my lap while I watch TV. They get every second bite from my dinner plate….but a half a million dollars for a park dedicated to them….I think not!
• And the straw that will cause fatal lumbar problems for the ship of the desert, forty million dollars to help prostitutes financially. WE WOULD’NT NEED TO HELP THEM FINANCIALLY if we just left them alone and allowed them to turn tricks every night.
What we have seen in a mere fifteen days is the evidence of the complete lack of experience in leadership. Poor choices made by our president…just as he chose the wrong pastor and the wrong political promoters and the wrong real estate broker. Without a decent idea in his head he left it to Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts in the House to create a stimulus package in 14 days. Even he realizes that what they came up with, stinks. Now the American people, much to their disillusionment, are starting to hold their noses. Hang on people…..we have three years and eleven and a half months to go….. SO HELP US GOD!
