Cobwebs and Dust Bunnies
I came in here and found cobwebs and dust bunnies…and no postings since November 2008. Okay, so I know Republicans have these things called jobs and they sometimes are preoccupied with education, but come on now, can’t they make time to entertain me by blogging???? Ahem…I won’t mention any names, but it starts with a D…..get with the program already man!
Since our gracious host seems to be MIA – even when I randomly text and/or call (that’s just me making him feel guilty, I didn’t really call him…shhhh), I’ve got the urge to blog on his site. He always told me to do so, and I always felt weird about being all up in his space – well, actually, as a Mexican woman I didn’t feel like I deserved the space on his blog site – you know a Mexican California woman and a conservative White Southern man….ooooh sounds like the next hit sitcom.
So my blog today will be about our dear, hopeful, changeful President Obama. I thought I would do a small recap of his progress so far – I mean it’s only fair we chronicle his great crusade to enlighten and free us all of the great oppression we were in under Evil President Bush (insert evil laugh here).
Okay, so let’s recap:
Day One – Inauguration: Yay! First Black President everrrrr….woohooo. PARTYYYYYY!!! I mean it’s not every day you see a black man elected President. Who wasn’t out and partying? Who didn’t host an Inauguration Day party? Who didn’t spend $1,000,000 on this monumental event? You’re just not cool if you’r not down with O. I mean Oprah is doing it, I should too, right?
Day 2 to Present: Wow, Obama sure wasn’t kidding about change. And he’s not all talk, he’s action too – I mean who would have ever thought of nominating a man (Geithner) who owed thousands in back taxes to manage the nation’s finances – BRILLIANT MOVE SIR!!! Yes, the big “O” trusts a man who “forgot” to pay taxes, but is still considered a genius – to manage the United States’ financial future, and who wouldn’t right? Don’t tell me you never thought of hiring Wesley Snipes as your CPA? I know I have.
Then there was the amazing pick of Sen. Daschle for Secretary Health and Human Services. Wow, another pick that owed taxes – probably forgot too. Unfortunately, Sen. Daschle had to reject the offer from O - I mean who wants to be in the spotlight where all your past illegal blunders come to light. But President Obama being the hopeful man that he is, kept hoping that one of his picks would actually be a worthy pick. I love faux-hope.
There’s so many rejected picks going back to before President O was even elected that it’s hard to name them all – there was Gov. Bill Richardson – who politely withdrew as a cabinet pick because, well…because of something called “legal inquiry.” Fancy terms for Democrat did a booboo.
But our leader did not let those little hiccups phase him (insert an image of President O waving his hand in front of his face, and saying ‘YOU CAN’T SEE ME’), he continued with his goal of making the biggest, bestest, grandest Government ever!
And for that he required assistance: step in, Ms. Nancy Pelosi (the Queen of Quasi-Catholocism herself), Barney Frank (ooh just typing his name gives me goosebumps, in a rash-like sort of way), and every other self-aggrandizing Democratic politician in the United States. It takes a lot of people to come up with a TRILLION DOLLAR spending plan.
I mean there’s sooooo much to buy:
* Many toys (can’t criticize the O for buying those fancy helicopters when everyone else is suffering – how else can he spread the hope and change?)
* Hungry potlicians to feed
* irresponsible Americans to reward.
President O and his Dem Dream Team broke a sweat on this one I can assure you – and they sure brought change – change from a thriving nation to a failing miserable one that has to turn to government for every aspect of life. CHANGE – no one said it had to be good change, right? Way to keep your promise Mr. Prez.
In more recent days, the big O has had to change his hope talk and has exchanged it for “DOOM, it’s coming, you better believe it!” and “Let’s spend your money, so your kid’s don’t have to.” All great leaders know that sometimes you have to change your message – and if scaring Americans into supporting the spending plan (aka Democratic wish list), then it’s all good baby!
Ok, that’s my recap. Whewww….it’s been exciting times – not knowing what the future holds, being scared for my daughter’s future – it has my pulse all racy and stuff. Fun times indeed.
And since there’s a chance that some “englightened” folks might drop by this site – it’s sarcasm.
