Just Ranting on my Blog...

1. My health: Been having a lot of partial simple seizures - so I haven't been blogging in a while. My mind is a bit dazed and confused at times - but that is normal ;-) I've set an appointment with a new Doc @ Emory - Hope to have different results....
2. Obama's blame game is getting old. He is now blaming the Republicans for the Democrats not standing together. Obama said "If this obstruction continues, unemployed Americans will see their benefits stop...Teachers and firefighters will lose their jobs. Families will pay more for their first home. All we ask for is a simple up or down vote. That's what the American people deserve." Can someone tell Obama that he has enough Democrats in Congress to override anything the Republicans want to do, block or propose? Could it possible be that even the Democrats are tired of Obama, Pelosi and Reid's unbridled spending, unbelievable arrogance, assault on capitalism, growing government and outright lying? Here is a video on Obama's blame game.
3. BP must stand for "Butthead Principles" or "Bad PR" Did Tony Hayward just go to a Yacht Race? Oh wait, he was trying to keep up with Obama's golf and White House concerts with Paul McCartney. I wonder if Obama knows that Bush quit playing golf when he sent soldiers off to war because he thought it wasn't right.... Soldiers still off to war...Gulf is being destroyed by oil...Debt is doubling...Unemployment is sky high - but Obama knows that if he just shows empathy every time he talks his loyal legions will continue to bow down to him.... Tony is just following suit...At the time Tony was out yachting...Obama was at the Nationals baseball game. (This of course if after his two vacations since the oil spill)...I'm glad the Gulf Oil spill is his top priority (See this blog about that)
4. I am sure that Obama is rooting for the U.S. team to win the World Cup - but there is that niggling thought in the back of my mind that says he hopes we don't win - because he might have to apologize for it.
5. Obama is so happy that the 10,000th infrastructure related job just got kicked off. Wow, we are really burning through this stimulus money and unemployment is still hoovering at 10% (2% higher than he said it would go if we let him have the blank check called Stimulus funding.) So when we burn through the trillion dollars in stimulus money what are these infrastructure guys going to do?
6. Do I understand this correctly? The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $219,000 stimulus grant to psychology professor Michael Carey to study the "hookups" of 500 freshmen women. Hell, I know a lot of guys that would participate in this study for free! I guess this really is "stimulus" money...
7. Do I understand this correctly? A person that has sworn to uphold the Constitution thinks it is okay to ignore it as long as it feels good? Senator Nelson says 'Obama may not have Constitutional authority to shakedown BP, but he has the moral authority to do it.' I guess it is okay to bypass the Constitution when you feel that it is morally right. Hmmm, I wonder how my morals stack up against a Chicago politician?
8. Do I understand this correctly? Obama had Eric Holder start an investigation to see if anyone in BP (mainly executives) should be held criminally liable....And then had Eric Holder negotiate with these executives in order to get the $20 Billion out of BP? I actually agree with the $20 Billion but this is dirty politics and a classless shakedown... Also I can't help but think that the $20 Billion will be used to buy more votes as politicians look to dole the money out to unions and anyone else they feel "deserves it". Let's see if Louisiana votes more Democrat after this debacle...I think there are now 20 billion new reasons for Louisanna to vote Democrat...
9. Do I understand this correctly? We just gave an Indian Casino - that grossed $1.3 Billion dollars in 2009 - $54 million in stimulus funding? But the good news is that according to Chris Dodd (the Senator who pushed the money to the Casino) and the Mohegan Indian Tribe this will generate 1,200 new infrastructure jobs. Oh - but then the money runs out, and then the 1200 people will need to find new ones...
10. Do I understand this correctly? The person responsible for enforcing the law of the land is going to sue a state because he doesn't like their law? There is a federal law on the books that Arizona's new immigration law is mimicking. Basically it is illegal to be illegal. But Obama doesn't want to enforce this federal law so he is going to sue Arizona in the hopes that Arizona's law will be stopped. WTF? Is this a vote buying scam again? And what about the tough rhetoric on the campaign trail...Oh wait this is Obama - The guy who says what his audience wants to hear - not what he is going to do...
