Oh NO He Didn't . . .

. . . Oh YES, he did!

This is the photo that Mr. Wonderful posted with his Pearl Harbor Remembrance tweet.  He's out of control, somebody STOP him for his own good!

December 7, 1941

Who knows if or how the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is taught in schools these days.  It was, to borrow a phrase from Joe Biden, a BFD... an event that changed the world.  Can you imagine what might have happened had our current administration been in charge on that day in December?  It is likely that the Japanese would have seized control of the Golden Gate Bridge before any retaliatory action would have been considered. Instead of at war, we would have found ourselves smack dab in the middle of a man caused disaster!  It would have been down hill from there.

Fortunately that wasn't the case.  In those days our nation had a collective spine, and a leader, who though FAR from perfect, at least wasn't ashamed of America.  Thank God (and you should) for those who lead us through those perilous days and for those brave souls who fought and died to save the world.

He Wants To Be Perfectly Clear . . . And So Do I

“I want to send a very clear message to people here: We are not going to play that game next year,” Mr. Obama said in remarks to the Business Roundtable, a trade group. He said Washington needs to “break that habit before it starts,” referring to the way Republicans would like to use the debt limit to negotiate further spending cuts.

 It's not a game at all, but clearly this President seems to be involved in a serious game of chicken, while the Republicans are playing "Let's Make A Totally Unacceptable Deal". To our elected leaders it's all fun and games... until someone loses a job, or a house, or a 401K.  The President is behaving like a spoiled petulant child,  the Republicans are acting like they've forgotten the principles they were elected to defend, and Congressional Democrats appear as though the only principle they have is "hating the rich".

Negotiate!?  None of them knows the meaning of the word, nor do they understand the relationship between spending and debt. Beneficial tax reform and governement downsizing are impossible with this insane clown posse running things. I'm convinced they really do think that money grows on trees! (Ben Bernanke told them so)

A POX on all their houses!

They ALL need to go.  Yesterday!

Banned In Arkansas!!!!

Shocking, isn't it!? Thank you, Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, (Apparently, they are SO open minded that their brains fell out!) . . . and Merry Christmas!

How Do You Spell EXCESSIVE?

. . . 54 Christmas Trees in the White House, that's how!

That's double last year's tree count... But at least something besides the number of people on food stamps is going up!

The tree glut is especially curious in light of the fact that the Obama's won't be home for Christmas.  They'll be leaving on the 17th to vacation in beautiful Hawaii, and won't be back to the White House until after the first of the year.  Maybe they're leaving the trees for Bo to enjoy (and utilize)?

I wonder if the poor and elderly victims of Sandy who are still without lights, a hot meal, or indoor plumbing might find this rather outrageous example of conspicuous consumption just a teensy bit annoying?

. . . Four more years!? *groan*

Barack Obama Honors Rosa Parks

... on this, the 57th anniversary of her refusal to give up her seat on the bus.  He did so by posting a poignant photo:

No ... not that one.

I like that one, but no, not that one either.

That's the one!  Brought tears to my eyes.  And just what you'd expect from someone who, after the death of Neil Armstrong, saw fit to honor him by posting this photo:

If it weren't for bad taste, he'd have no taste at all!

Bronco Bamma Continues To Channel Lucy Van Pelt

The President In his weekly campaign address (what's he running for again?) said (for the umpteenth time):

So let’s begin by doing what we all agree on. Both parties say we should keep middle-class taxes low. The Senate has already passed a bill to keep income taxes from going up on middle-class families. Democrats in the House are ready to do the same thing. And if we can just get a few House Republicans on board, I’ll sign this bill as soon as Congress sends it my way.

Now there's a promise he can keep!  He'll sign that bill before the ink is dry,  heck, he won't even stop to read it! (I think I took two sarcasm pills this morning)  But what then?  What happens after we soak the rich? No one really thinks that will cure what ails us,  but hurry up and pass the bill... There will be time to discuss other issues later, after we've avoided the dreaded cliff.

We can negotiate spending cuts, entitlement reform, tax overhaul, and an end to government fraud and waste next Tuesday... pinky promise!

Are you buying this?

. . . Me either!
