BloggeRhythms 10/18/2011

I think it might be a good idea if folks took a step back for a moment and looked at politicians as simply people, rather than according to the positions they hold. And in that regard, I think just about anyone with a grain of common sense would have to conclude that our president is just about as distasteful as one can get.

Because at the moment the biggest problem in the nation is unemployment. And aside from the fact that those not working are a drain on everyone else, the whole economy suffers due to the loss of the trickle effect deriving from reductions in spending. Less dollars spent means less dollars earned by producers, leading to less funds available for hiring and a down-trending cycle that keeps repeating itself.

So, what does the president do to try to reverse the problem, which has been there for more than three years? He concocts a plan that's worthless, simply so he can blame adversaries and try to prove that they're at fault for the employment morass.

Now, when it comes to the lowest lifeforms there's little doubt that politicians and lawyers exemplify the category, but be that as it may. In the president's case he's supposed to overcome those givens and do what's best for the nation. In fact, he took an oath, swearing he would. But we shouldn't be too impressed by that, Bill Clinton did the same thing...and lied to us all anyway.

Yet, regardless of the lies, because they're pretty much expected of politicians, there's really something wrong when someone puts personal goals, ambitions, and self-serviance above the needs of so many people who really need help. And using them as a foil against political opponents is beyond the realm of immoral...it's in a class beyond description.

And that's why simply voting folks like the president out of office isn't enough. Because in the meantime, he'll keep destroying millions of folks lives trying to save himself.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
