282. The Big O

Do you know what vision I get when the anointed one is on TV? A big mouth shaped like an "O" that spews out information that is as usable as the output from a shredding machine. Chewed up THOUGHTS with no documented, actionable plan. But, as expected, all sounds from his mouth are based on politics. Remember quite a long time ago the DRILL OFFSHORE words? How about the STIMULUS WILL REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT lines? Now one could rightly conclude everything he says is LIES. Or, one could him the benefit of doubt that he is just a shredding machine and spews out whatever his puppet masters feed him. Either way, he comes up nothing more than oil slick on a linoleum floor that we all have to navigate to live our lives. What's the latest? How about reducing taxes for businesses...DUH! I like how he then takes credit for these mind boggling discoveries! It only took a garbage can on his head with a dozen people rapping it with baseball bats to finally agree with the economists and public, who knew BEFORE he actually took office, that cutting business taxes will create jobs. Let me qualify that statement by indicating that the non-liberal individuals and those literate in economics have been suggesting these moves. And where did the other clowns who voted the bum in stand? In the mud like the rest of us, but with hearts, not brains, attached to the leader's rhetoric. What's so sad is that we are a REPUBLIC. It's our elected officials who are supposed to be savvy enough to understand what is correct. Unfortunately, the elected officials are too myopic of their own selves and political careers to give a crap. They see persuading the other clowns that their bridges to nowhere are important -- yeah, to fool their state's citizens into a false feeling of hope. Isn't it time We the People take the time to LEARN and ACT? November presents a time to vote out the idiots from Congress. But, will the replacements, either party, be any better? Has anybody see a bill that eliminates ear mark entirely? How about NOT tacking onto an obvious winning bill, useless, unrelated, individual party interests? How about term limits to ensure the useless pile of representatives gets recycled with better representatives? We aren't always going to agree on everything, but can't we agree that Congress is poisoned with idiots that need to be removed from office?
