* One advantage of me running my own blog is that since no one is paying me to be a pundit, when Obama gives some “big speech”, I can just say, “I don’t feel like watching that,” and then not watch it. I assume most Americans felt the same way.
Anyway, sounds like he proposed a bunch of new spending and some tax cuts (I’ll take those), but are we really supposed to believe these are all big ideas that are finally going to create a bunch of jobs? If so, why wait until thirty months into his presidency to propose this when people have been hurting for jobs since day one? Is he just really slow to the uptake or he just didn’t care until now (“Shut up about jobs! I have a neato health care plan I want to force on you!”)?
Obama says all his spending will be paid for, but I don’t think anyone is left who would believe that now. No one thinks anymore that Obama even knows how to make numbers add up. He’s sort of guy we could give a dollar to and tell him to get one item from the dollar store and then he’d return with a new car and tell us, “Don’t worry; it’s paid for!”
* Actually, my radio was on an AM station for my couple minute drive home from work, so I caught just a few minutes of Obama’s speech inadvertently. All I heard was that it’s really important to keep taxes low on the middle class but we have to raise taxes on the wealthy for recovery. Really? How does that work? We’re going to take money away from the wealthy — people who have demonstrated they know how to responsibly handle money to create more jobs and wealth — and hand it over to the politicians in Washington who have shown they can fritter away hundreds of billions to no effect. And this helps us recover how? The left like to claim their pro-science, but their quite obvious anti-rudimentary logic with their obsession of taxing the rich while the economy is failing.
I’m not selfish. I’m in the middle class, and I rather not get a tax cut if it means raising taxes on the people who have created most of the jobs we have. At the encouragement of people like Obama, we’re becoming a nation of greedy poor people coveting the wealth of others, and it’s nothing but destructive.
* So hundreds of longshoremen stormed a port in Washington and held guards hostage and broke stuff. No one was arrested.
What?
This isn’t a third world country. Things like this shouldn’t happen here, especially unpunished. If there are so many dumb thugs together on one area that the police can’t deal with them, send in the military and shoot them. Peaceful protest in this country is great, but as soon as you become a violent mob intimidating people, you lose all rights and sympathy. That’s the way it should be in this country. We don’t want to be like Europe where people riot for days unabated because we’re too weak-willed to stand up for ourselves. People get this idea they have rights to everyone else’s stuff and can take and smash what they want, and then we end up with… a Democrat congress.
* Notice how the longshoremen violence is getting little coverage, but imagine if people identifying themselves as Tea Party members did anything similar? It would be the lead news story for weeks. Theoretical right-wing violence still gets much more press than actual left-wing violence.
That reminds me: Anyone introducing one of the Republican presidential candidates should refer to the Obama administration and say, “Let’s take those sons of bitches out!” as it’s now been established by Obama that’s okay speech.
* Maxine Waters is urging Obama to treat blacks like Iowans, to which Obama responded, “But I’m already extremely patronizing to them.”
* The more I think about this whole Social Security thing, the more I’m thinking I’m done with Romney. I mean, I guess I’ll support him if he’s the nominee, but it’s really hard to get behind someone who will defend the status quo on entitlements for political expediency. I mean, I don’t really expect much to happen if Perry is president, but at least there’s a chance he’ll do something. Romney just doesn’t seem to have any real conservative principles, though, and is just a politician trying to get elected. I’m sick of that. Really, out of the group, I want Herman Cain to be president as he’s the least politiciany, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
So did your sister drop your iPhone on your iPad? Have you considered criminal charges against her? Or maybe getting her some mental help. She sounds kind of sociopathic.

I guess while you were unconscious, some stole your ‘A’ key. Maybe it was that girl dropping the iPhones. I hope someone does something about that menace!
