This is Change?

How could this marvelous man fall into the same Health care trap door the Clintons did? Why did this smartest of all presidents use the same heavy handed and secretive tactics that doomed the Clinton plan and caused the Dems to lose control of Congress. Are their memories that short or is this only way these effete tyrants know how to govern. We were told Obama would end the politics of old,yet it appears he is a practitioner of the oldest kind of politics,Chicago thuggery.

The real question is how does a guy who actually believes proper tire inflation is a suitable alternative to offshore drilling even become a presidential candidate or graduate from college? The same dude wants to tell us how to live yet smokes like a chimney? OK,you are never gonna pick Obama for you baseball team or bowling league,but can you imagine if a Republican had thrown that pitch or gutter ball? Or why when giving a speech on a health care bill,he hasn't read and appears to know nothing about,would this man who is told us he would take us beyond race try and start a race war? To throw us off course? To hide the fact he has no idea what he is talking about? No,race is all they know. Its their "go to" move. They used it to stop Republicans from regulating Fannie,which may have allowed us to escape the financial disaster, they scream race at every turn on every issue. Yet Obamas own VP called him a "clean one". Complete insanity. And the ever vigilant mainstream media reports it only if its a Republican. Who can forget the uproar over Delay taking a few golf trips paid for by lobbyists? Yet there is not even a peep out of mainstream media over the Dems who looted Fannie and Freddie for personal and political riches or the Countrywide 6.

The Dems playbook is so thin,their only defense on a horrible health bill is racism. The same white people who put Obama in office now want to see him fail because he is black. The Republicans,the party who put Clarence Thomas on Supreme Court against fierce Democrat opposition,had a black Sec of Defense and Sec of State,are against Obamas health bill because they are racists. The mainstream media which appears now more than ever to be an arm of the Democrat party,reports every Democrat racism charge as if its fact. The same mainstream media failed to challenge Obama during the campaign and failed to alert the public about his beliefs. They failed to demand his college records. Can you imagine if any Republican had spent 20 years with Rev Wright,or called the anti American hate mongering racist a great influence?

As each day goes by we are discovering that Obama was listening to all the those Rev Wright sermons,when will the media report it?

More Barney

Last week Barney Frank claimed he was one of the people responsible for new regulations on Fannie. this is akin to Ken Lay saying he was responsible for the downsizing of Enron. When our media and opposition party let politicians like Mr. Frank weave these tales of fiction they cheat the country and people. These lies become the truth. How can the person most responsible for the collapse of Fannie because of his opposition to new regulations proposed by the evil and racist Republicans now claim he is the person who helped regulate them? In a perverse way I guess you could make the case had Mr.Frank not stonewalled regulators as Democrats were looting Fannie for both political and personal riches Fannie would never have imploded and we never would have gotten the new regulations we have now,even though I am not really sure what these new regulations are. Every Republican and the media should be shouting this socialist lunatic down,instead there is complete silence.

Somethings never change

Even though severely limited by three days of Nyquil binging and a lingering cold I was able to beat Martha 336 to 311. A brilliant 52 point play of MIX secured the victory over my much more gifted and intelligent opponent(in case you didnt know she is a UVA grad).

Life Is Good!

I began my fourth round of golf this year with three bogeys and following bird lip outs on 11 and 12, a double on 13 , I played the final five four under for a 76 . At this stage of the game I have to be happy any time I break 80. The best part is I won $90 from a group who is always offering to send a car to pick me up.

I followed this up with a complete trouncing of Martha at the Scrabble table, 392-320. This included a brilliant bingo with the word "reaired" making use of three connectors.

Unfortunately my weekend ended on a sour note as the Rockets were destroyed by the hated Lakers and Punk of the Decade, Kobe. Rockets were an easy team to root for, without Tracey,Yao,and Mutumbo and playing with 6'6" center, Chucky Hayes who was tough against the 7 foot homeless guy playing center for the gangsta Lakers . It is still a mystery to me how Ron Artest was ever considered a good defensive player or why he never ever goes to the hoop.

Trade Yao now while he can still walk, do not resign Crazy Ron, and keep Tracy if there are no takers. Despite all the detractors, I am still willing to give Tracy more time. When healthy there are few players with his talents, basketball IQ, passing skills, and his ability to take over a game.

The Slippery Slope

We are way past the Slippery Slope. As we go racing towards more socialism it should be obvious it's impossible to reverse course on the Slippery Slope until we hit ground,and hit hard.

This should be really interesting watching the UAW and Federal Government designing and manufacturing cars,and making a profit. What would you pay to sit in on wage negotiations between the UAW and the UAW? How about Barney,Dodd,Robert KKK Byrd arguing over auto ergonomics? How about a Henry Waxman hood ornament? What about teleprompters as a new option, I often forget what I am talking about when driving wildly about town.
If only Bush had the guts to send GM into bankruptcy when he had the chance,but he was a compassionate conservative and chose to burden our children with the cost of this long dead industry by kicking the can down the road. there was a never a chance Obama would let GM declare bankruptcy and reorganize as many US industries have successfully done over the years because the UAW is one of the groups that own the Dem party,so now every US citizen that is a taxpayer,and there are fewer and fewer of those every day,will be forced to finance this debacle. The UAW has become a government agency. Management will be chosen by politicians and union thugs. Obviously the AIG disaster which was caused by executives chosen by Elliot Spitzer,after he ran off the CEO who founded the company was not reviewed before Obama and his gang of socialist grifters put this deal together. There is not one single member of this central planning outfit who has ever had a real job out side of government. Real jobs do not include community organizing, whatever Rahm Emanuel did to make 16 million in one year,or government employment.

Obama and his central planners appear ignorant of US and World History because this has been tried before and it has never worked anywhere. The argument of the planners is always the same,we are different or smarter than those who tried this in the past and just as Hayek writes in "road to serfdom" the central planners always make their power grabs under guise of some crisis or emergency,and that is exactly what has happened in the past 100 days.

It could be argued it would be difficult for the government and UAW to make a more undesirable product than GM management has given the consumer over the past 40 years but never underestimate the ability of government to fuck something up beyond anyone's wildest nightmares. Its what they do. See Fannie and Freddie,Amtrak,and of course the US Post Office.

How will the new GM,our completely corrupt federal government in partnership with corrupt UAW goons, entice consumers to buy their product rather than Japanese,German or Ford autos? First we have to wonder if they will really even care if they make a profit. Either way we pay because if they operate as the incompetents they are the taxpayers pay the losses,bonuses,and retirement plans of employees and union execs and if they try to make a profit they have to use some type of coercion to force us to buy their product.

As we know there has never been a government program cancelled and very few have ever cut expenses,so this industry is our next entitlement nightmare. Free markets have a process of clearing the deadwood from the system,its called bankruptcy,and it was GM's only hope. We have lost more freedoms in the past 100 days then in the past 100 years,because our strongest attribute was our free market capitalist system. Obama is doing his best to destroy it.
