State of the Union

Our President has been with us for a year.

I didn't vote for him, although I had hopes for him.

He has managed to dash all hopes that I had. In its simplest form, he lies.

He apparently thinks we proles have no memory, and that we don't know that he promised to air debate on (among other things) health care.  This did not happen.

He promised bipartisan efforts, then shut out the opposing party, saying "I won!"

He promised that the Constitution would be uppermost - then appointed Czars to do things not constitutional, effectively nationalized industries, gathered up a crew of hangers-on in high offices for which offices the first requisite seemed to be having failed to pay taxes.  You and I would end up in jail for such silliness - his buds get high-visibility well-paid jobs - which pay comes form us proles.

His wife has hired more assistants than the past 20 presidents' wives have found either needed or useful - all of which are paid, you guessed it, by us.

He makes generals wait - not a good thing, and gets troops killed just by doing nothing.

He believes we are all too stupid to breathe unassisted, and that there is not a question that he has not heard so he has all the answers - and all the answers involve growing government.  He fails to understand that Government produces no profit, and sucks the life out of profit-producing organizations by demanding tribute that is used to pay , guess what, more government "workers."

He says no lobbyists will be around to influence anyone, but apparently he meant that no more than all of them will be allowed through the door.

His congress creates libraries of rules for us regarding how health care will be managed, and then exempts itself from those rules. 

It's time to unelect the house of representatives - all of them and get some folks in there who are truly interested in representing the interests of the folks who put them there.

It's also time to return the selection of senators to state legislatures, although I don't think I'll live to see that happen.

I still believe that the Founding Fathers had their heads screwed on straight, and that we tamper with what they devised at our own peril.
