What would Bill Clinton Do?

That’s not a question that President Obama and his team of loyalists from the 2008 campaign are likely to ask, because they don’t much care about the answer. It is an irony of the Obama administration (given that it is staffed with so many people with high-level experience during Bill Clinton's presidency, including one Cabinet member named Clinton) that its basic attitude toward Clinton-style governance is hostile. Obama and White House aides are courteous to the 42nd President when he calls, but in private many of those aides sound very much like George W. Bush advisers in disparaging the Clinton years. The people around Obama are romantics, they dream of Obama as a transformational figure looming large on history’s stage. They see Clinton as at best a transitional figure, whose poll-tested practical and tested policies loom small. But perhaps they are feeling a bit less cocky these days, after a loss in the Massachusetts Senate special election that has revealed deep problems for Democrats and, arguably, serious miscalculations in Obama’s governing strategy.

I think it's time to stop trying so hard to be the "anointed one" and start doing what you promised your loyal followers...............so many promises not kept so far, least of which is your transparency promise. Let's not worry about being on TV everyday somewhere and talking about something we all know about already. All we have to do is watch you once on TV to see that your just reading what someone else is telling you to say. This president spends more in having someone set-up and take down his teleprompters and input someone Else's words for him to read.......by the way have you noticed that during his speeches he looks from the left to the right and back to the left and back to the right but never and I mean never looks straight ahead at the people at home viewing him, that's because the prompters are one to his left and one to his right and nothing in the middle! I personally feel that in order to be a good leader you need to be able to speak to the people from the cuff/heart and if you'll notice when Obama does this he's full of huh's and stammers all over the place.

Sometimes you need to us time tested strategies from folks with a bit of experience in governing and not just experience in rigging elections with Acorn and community organizing with communist and socialist friends using you as a front man.

Obama's Health Care plan

It's all the talk on the news stations that Massachusetts will probably elect a Republican to replace Ted Kennedy to fill the "peoples seat" in the Senate. Yes, the peoples seat and not Ted Kennedy's seat as Ms. Coakly would have you believe. With a 6 to 1 Democrat to Republican ratio in registered voters in Massachusetts one wonders how something like this could happen if in fact it does since the polls aren't open as of this writing. It may just have something to do with how the people of the country really feel about Obama and his henchmen and the bill they are trying to get us to swallow in such a big damn hurry, in a hurry and behind closed doors! All Americans want health care reform, yes all of us from all three parties, but at what expense do we do this with all that's going on around us right now. With unemployment at a real percentage of roughly 17% counting all people looking for work and those that have given up already, do we really need all these tax increases that everyone one with half a brain knows will come back to all of us tax payers? If your of the liberal persuasion you have to know deep down inside this is true and you too are and have been lied to over and over again.

I also heard again today how if by some way a health care bill like this 2000 pages of junk does indeed get passed 22 state to this point are going to opt out of this program, now that alone will be a big increase to the number of uninsured . Come on people with the bribes and sweet heart deals being made by Reed and Polosi and the anointed one can you honestly say this is the sort of "change" you wanted and indeed looked forward to getting? Now besides the 22 states (to this point in time) that will opt out we also hear today that besides the unions getting to keep "Cadillac plans"until the year 2018, now the Amish do not have to participate either. Yes Nancy Polosi that's what your saying now and you know what the rest of the country will be saying, "we too have religious freedom and want to be exempt also." What a can of worms these crooks have opened up now with the Amish being exempt.................Wow no body is stopping to think before they speak when the do speak, maybe this too should have been kept behind those closed doors!

I'm afraid the Obama health care ship is sinking and none too soon if you ask me, this bill is something that the way it has been written cost way too much for a country in bankruptcy and we shouldn't be strapped with something we can't afford. If you want to get closer to seeing everyone insured, get them jobs so they can afford to buy insurance like the rest of us and for Gods sake don't make those of us responsible with our lives pay for those that don't give a crap and only put their hands out! Somebody tell these Democrats that we have more important things on our plates, Jobs....Jobs....Jobs.....and our Economy.................why are they in such a hurry to spend us into bankruptcy? In times like this we should be lowering taxes and not all the increases up front and hidden or called something other than taxes when we all know their really tax increases!

Massachusetts seems like as good a place as any for a "Tea Party" now doesn't it?

Social Security Cards..........

What do you do with your Social Security card? Do you carry it in your purse or wallet or have it stuck away in your dresser drawer? Did you put it somewhere and have now that I reminded you forgot where you stuck it? I will tell you that mine is in my wallet as of today, but not sure about tomorrow. I got my SS card sometime in 1960 I believe and it's been in my wallet ever since, and it looks like it's been in there for 50 years! The reason I mention this is that my wife (Bev) lost her purse in front of a Wal-mart just before Christmas, her purse was in her cart but not zipped closed. If you've been to a Wal-mart and other stores they have 5 inch high bumps every 2 inches apart in rather larger areas in front of all doors for handicap reasons. I would think for those in wheel chairs would even find it hard to maneuver over these small mountain ranges in from of stores today. Anyway I'm sure if you've been over these small mountain ranges with a shopping cart you know what I mean when I say eggs have been known to break, items rock and roll all over the cart and if stacked too high will jump right over the edge of the cart. Well Bev's wallet was in her unzipped purse and jumped right out onto the drive in front of a Wal-mart while doing a bit of Christmas shopping. As soon as she got to the car she realized it was gone and ran back into the store to see if someone had turned it in to security.........no such luck. Upon leaving the store for a second time and after calling me to cancel all credit cards, debit cards etc. she seen the bell ringing Santa by the front door of the store. Hey there did you happen to see a black wallet on the walk or in the drive? Yes mam, in was in the middle of the drive right on the other side of this small mountain range and a old beat up pickup pulling a trailer of junk stopped jumped out and picked it up and sped off in a big hurry! So now we're getting our replacement cards and finding that so far the quick canceling of cards etc. has worked and to this point the thieves spent the $20 cash and haven't had any luck using anything else in her wallet. Bev does not carry her SS card with her or in her wallet and doesn't have to worry about losing that, had her drivers license replaced and the old number will not work anymore. So far I'd say we were lucky and due to some quick action might be OK now with all cards canceled or replaced with new etc. But to get back to the Social Security question, where is your card right now? I think I'll put mine in a safe place where I'll be wondering the next time I need it......................where in the hell did I hide that darn SS card? Should I be consider ID protection?

You all be careful now when crossing all those small mountain ranges that are very hard to walk on and impossible to roll a shopping card across without doing major damage to bottles and eggs etc.
