Flipping channels this morning, I noticed the president apparently ranting and raving again about something or other, and it occurred to me once again that all that this gas-bag does is talk. I'm actually getting curious about who'd listen to him and why. But, not curious enough to turn the sound on.
Along the same lines, I wrote yesterday about his tirade regarding what he called "foreign" money fueling Republican campaigns. Of course, he had no documentable basis for his babble, he just screamed accusations. Now today it seems he's softened his point a little by saying "There's no question the other side sees a chance to get back in the driver's seat, they are being helped along this year by special interest groups that are spending unlimited amounts of money on attack ads...just attacking people without ever disclosing who's behind all these attack ads. You don't know. It could be the oil industry. It could be the insurance industry. It could even be foreign-owned corporations. You don't know because they don't have to disclose."
The key words here, I think, are "you don't know, because they don't have to disclose." So that means it could be donations from squads of little old ladies on social security and thousands of unemployed folks and short-changed stock-market investors, and every-day people who fear their health care's in danger and scads of others who are quickly going broke. As a matter of fact, it could be anyone who has an iota of sense and is tired of watching their country turn into a third-world nation at the hands of a mis-guided dolt.
It's also possible that some folks are just plain tired of the double talk and mis-guidance. Because on one hand the president's yapping about rebuilding the infrastructure and making a $50 billion investment in bridges, tunnels and roads which, he says, will create huge numbers of jobs. But, at the same time, two former transportation secretaries recently co-chaired a panel with him that proposes gas tax hikes and user fees to pay for these government transportation projects. So, who does he think he's fooling?
I guess the bottom line is, regardless of all the president's tirades, the public's tired of the noise and hot air and needs to see some positive results. And since this administration's absolutely proven they can't do the job, it's time for somebody else to give it a shot. So I guess what really drives me to keep typing about his babble is the guy's constant, arrogant, untruthful insults to our collective intelligence.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
