BloggeRhythms 8/4/2011

Now that all the arms have been twisted, the threats and the name-calling has ceased in Congress and the administration has gotten its wish, Wall Street and the public are telling the White House what they think of raising the debt limit. Because the stock markets are rapidly going through the floor. As I type, the Dow's down over two hundred points and the S&P and NASDAQ are tanking too.

So I think Willie Nelson pretty much summed it up for the president when he sang Turn Out the Lights, The Party's Over. And now that I read back my words, maybe the Republicans ought to make that their theme song for the 2012 campaign.

What's the worst for the Dem's, however, is that they not only have no way to fix their woes because many of them refuse to believe what their biggest one is, many, more of them truly don't understand what's going on around them at all. But in a nutshell, they're hamstrung by a continually weakening economy and can't turn it around because their leader is an inexperienced amateur who hasn't the appropriate skills and whose approach is more or less like the band on the Titanic that continued to play as the ship disappeared under the water. The only difference is, he's making speeches instead of music.

There are many who think the president made a mistake by immediately leaving for Chicago to celebrate his birthday and fund-raise as soon as he signed the debt limit increase into law. They think he should have stayed in DC to head a campaign focused on fixing the unemployment debacle. However, to me that would be like putting Jesse James in charge of a program for stopping thieves from robbing banks. James could never be the solution whereas he was the cause.

So I guess the president can go wherever he wants and make speeches about whatever he chooses. Because the solution to the nation's economic situation doesn't rest with him. In about a year and a half the public's going to fix the problem themselves in voting booths all over the nation by making absolutely sure he doesn't win.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
