Free Ride for Obama

It seems to me that Barack Obama gets a free ride from the press. He has had so many gaffes and "mis speaks" that he would have been rolled right out of the race if he was a Republican. As a sidebar, if his wife is out stumping for him, she is fair game for scrutiny. He has said so many thing and has so many associations with shady characters that he scares me a lot. From saying that people are punished with babies to the quips about his uncle that liberated Auschwitz. Uh, the Russians did that one. I just saw that line and he is lying like a rug. I think that his lack of historical knowledge and pattern of ignorant foreign policy statements then retractions should put a huge dark cloud over him as a possible president. I have not even got to his plans for the USA yet. That would take me forever, but lets just say that we are soon going to be the UN of A.

Memorial Day

I was out of town last weekend, the Memorial Day weekend, I was lost in thought for a while as I contemplated the sacrifice that our service men and women give. My grandfather is a WWII vet and my father is a Viet Nam vet. I was "unfit" for military service because of asthma, so I was not able to serve although I did enlist in the Marine Corps. I can not imagine what was going through my father and grandfather's heads when they were enlisting for the army during wartime.
I want to send out a very heartfelt thank you to all of the men and women serving in our armed forces, police, border patrol, firefighters, even the ambulance workers. Thank you for all that you do to give us the freedom, security, and safety that we too often take for granted.
Thank you!!!!

When will congress learn?

So, congress is having oil execs on the hill again. I wish that I could be one of the "Big Oil" guys there. I would probably be held in contempt of congress or something, but it'd go a little something like this:
"So you guys want to know why oil and gas prices are so high? Well because of your policies, we have lost 50% of our refining capacity in the last 25 years. Demand keeps rising and we can only put out half the gas we did in 1982. China and India keep using more and more of the oil that is on the global market, and you will not let us get our own oil. So as prices rise on the global market, in line with demand, prices rise here as well. Oil is traded on the dollar and you guys have killed the dollar, so oil goes up. By the way, China has signed leases to drill 60 miles from Florida. We have huge oil deposits in Alaska, California, Florida and many western states, but we can't touch it! You have made the Polar Bear a threatened species, so it will kill the gas and oil industry there. You are talking about stealing our money, did I mention we paid a record amount of taxes this year? Did I also mention that we DO NOT set the prices, investors and speculators do. So in summation, the reason that food, energy, and gas are so expensive are because of................. politicians!"
Then they would take me to jail. But it would be all worth it.

Obama

Is it not clear by now that Obama is not fit to be President. From clinging to guns to the latest statement about needing permission from other countries before I drive my car or feed my family. I'm not even going to go into the foreign relations stuff that spews out of his mouth. This guy will destroy the United States. I don't just mean the good old USA of the good ole boys, I mean the country will darn near be wiped off the map.
