Simple Man Politics

After the most expensive Presidential inauguration in US history, yesterday saw some extraordinary activity during Obama’s first full day in the oval office as the 44th President of the United States. This was by no means a big surprise to those of us who follow politics religiously no matter what party we are members of, although in my case I am a member of no political party THANK GOD!!!!!

The way one party screwed up by ignoring its party’s core values and losing an election, and the way the other one ran on its opposition party’s platforms and got away with winning an election on lies, deceit, and half truths, I would be ashamed to call myself a Republican or Democrat. The worst thing about all of this is that the Republicans really feel like the Democrats want to work with them on key issues and the Republicans feel like they should support the Democrats so that they won’t seem like obstructionists to the American people and become unpopular. They Republicans should face the facts, they are already unpopular, and the Democrats have absolutely no intention of working across the aisle with them on any legislation.

Like the saying goes a democracy will get the government it deserves, and since the supposed majority of the people and the electoral college have elected this new administration I can say with much regret that they old saying appears to be true. When you consider the incoming administration policies and the people appointed and nominated to run our country the next four years, we as a nation are in even worse trouble than we were under the Bush Administration.

In the next four years we are going to see Guantanamo closed, and those terrorists brought into our homeland and given all the rights of the US citizens they are trying to kill. We are going to see the great lie of global warming given credibility. We are going to see even more bailouts, larger stimulus packages, unfettered printing of dollars, and as a result the devaluation of the dollar, which will further weaken our economy and national security. We will also see absolutely no credible movement in an effort to make us independent from foreign oil or to become energy independent and more eco friendly.

All of this will not come to pass because of a tax evader running the US treasury, a socialist becoming the Global Warming Czar, an incompetent becoming the DHS, and an inexperienced man running the finest intelligence agency in the world the CIA. These things will certainly come to pass simply because the President will not listen to those few people he has kept, appointed, or nominated that have experience in those fields that he should trust.

Not to mention the fact that since his inauguration people like Hugo Chaves, Fidel Castro, some Middle East extremists, and others of that ilk have come out in support of Barack Obama. I will tell you that this being the case really scares me the most because that means not only do they not respect our new President, but they don’t fear him either and that should be a cause for grave concern by anyone who loves this country.

That’s all I have to say for now folks, I am going to go and have a stiff drink or two and await the next volley of rounds fired at us in the political arena. Have a wonderful day I will be back soon, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
