A Day In The Life

With oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico daily and people on the Gulf losing their livelihood there seems to be no end in sight, and congress is doing very little to solve the problem. Why should they, they are in bed with the big oil companies. They aren’t going to do anything except maybe slap them on the wrist and they haven’t done that yet. BP's embattled CEO Tony Hayward is at a yacht race and doesn’t care. He knows he has congress in his back pocket. All he wants is his life back. How about the people of the Gulf Coast, do you think maybe they would like to have their lives back too? And all Obama is doing is costing the tax payers a lot of money by taking Air Force One to the Gulf to look at the problem again and again. He has no solution; he just goes there, looks at it and then flies back to Washington, and we, of course, pay for it. And then Joe Biden flies to the Gulf to look at it. And he has no solution either. There aren’t even any people on side of the road waving at his or Obama’s entourage as it passes by because they don’t care. They have had enough. They’ve heard all the rhetoric they want to hear from the President. He speaks well but he says nothing. I suppose that takes talent. If there was ever a time to rally for alternative fuel, I believe it’s now. We need to wean ourselves off of oil and we need to do it quickly. Congress says they can’t create an alternative fuel. The cell phone in your pocket contains more technology than the computer that sent man to the moon and we can’t create an alternative fuel. Stop yanking my Franklin. I wasn’t born yesterday. Ordinarily Obama is insane, but he has lucid moments when he is merely stupid. I think Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best when he said, “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” It’s a shame that we’re the only country in the world that has to keep a government four years no matter what it does. Obama has such a small mind. And you know what they say, “The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.” Can’t you just see the conceit dripping off him when he speaks? He actually believes people are hanging on to his every word. His problem, of course, is that we stop listening before he stops speaking. He has committees working on the Gulf Oil Spill and I have learned from past experience that a committee can make a decision that is dumber than any of its members. If he wants a really dumb decision he should put Nancy Pelosi in charge. She is dumb to the tenth power. Dumb squared, if you will. I wonder if the spill would still be a problem if McCain or Palin were in charge. I wonder if the country would be better off if the community organizer wasn’t in charge. Only in America could we be at war with Muslims and then elect one as our President. I guess it just goes to show that if you get all the fools on your side you can be elected to anything. Michelle Obama said, “For the first time in my life I am proud to be an American.” Well I am saying that for the first time in my life I am ashamed to be an American. What the hell have we done to our country? -BC
