Uh-oh

Protesters. Do they all know what and why they are protesting? I don't think so. You know there are "joiners" who just come in for the excitement of it. Or something like that. I mean, is protesting fun?

Do they have a purpose? A hoped-for end? If they do, I don't know what it is. I know the original protesters gathered to express dissatisfaction with the rich fat cats on Wall Street. But what did they hope to achieve? Hmmm.

Now, the owners of Zuccotti Park, which the protesters have been "occupying," have issued a statement. They, the owners, normally keep the park clean and trimmed and, most important for this issue, sanitary. They haven't been able to do their nightly power wash or any of the other procedures they normally do since September 16.

If the place is privately owned--and apparently it is--then the protesters, who are no doubt dirty and unsanitary themselves, should get out if asked to do so.

Clear? Yes, but I predict trouble.

Weary of him

Pay for the jobs bill with taxes on the rich, so says King Barack.

Well, I'm not rich, but there's something that bothers me about his repeated demonizing of those who are rich.

But wait a minute. Is he not rich? I don't quite understand. Won't that mean his taxes will increase? Does he actually pay taxes?

How Things Are

I did not vote for King Barack. I cannot look at him, cannot abide his manner of speech and mostly would like to pin him to the wall over most of what he says. I did appreciate his remarks at the gathering after Gabrielle Giffords was shot. Someone smart must have written it.

I think he came ill-prepared to the presidency and have not changed my mind on that score. I think the people who elected him had/have no idea what a mess they have got us into.

Incidentally, upon his election, my friend Wendy's friend Roxy said, "For the first time in my life I am proud of my country." I wasn't there or I would have asked "why so"? I'm pretty sure her answer would have been, "Because he's black." I believe Michelle Obama also said she was proud of this country for the first time in her life. Again, I wonder why. No doubt, beyond the possibility of the very personal reason, it was because he's black.

So here it is. Those people who have argued forever that skin color does not matter now make it clear that skin color is the thing that does matter.

And do these people understand that his blackness did not equip him to be president? No.

What We Need to Do

Vote them all out of office.

All of them.

Obama

We've got him.
Now how do we get rid of him?

Hello-o-o

Well isn't it just absolutely wonderful?! King Barack is the first US President to tweet on twitter. How social networkly advanced of him.

But here's the deal--and I hope it doesn't shock you--this does not make him a good president.

When is the election again?

Two more Republican candidates are coming in. Hunstman and Perry.

I like what Perry says. Stop apologizing for our conservative values.

Let's.

And let's allow them to truly be the core of our politics, our lives.

What say?
