What Was Your Party Again? September 8, 2010

CNN has just put out another front page item where President Obama is blasting the Republicans, again. He’s pushing a new $350 Billion plan to “lift the sagging economy.” Wait a minute. This is supporting business, at least on the face of it. Is he trying to beat the GOP at their own game? What could be afoot here?

For a while, it’s gotten harder and harder to distinguish between the parties. If you strip out the religious items that aren’t supposed to be part of our government, it might be down to which stem cells you can use before long. Or if you love Tea and the Constitution, which, of course we need to change now and then, as perfect as it is, was, according to the party in power.

Seems as though President Obama has been on a mission to hug the world and that is his foreign policy, well except for those pesky Israelis and Republicans, of course. I guess everyone needs someone to keep them grounded. It might be nice one day to see an article on CNN about our leader and people he didn’t agree with start out with some verb other than “slammed,” “blasted,” or “accused.” Not that the opposition is any less guilty.

It must be tough to hang out with the upper crust and still insist on taking their tax cuts away. The feelings must be frustrating when you’re selling hope and your opponents are selling fear, our leader’s words. And nobody is buying hope much anymore. You can only sell hope for so long without being able to deliver.

Jobs. Just a damn job. And then go fight your petty party battles and we might listen. Otherwise, we have more important things to think about. Like food and shelter.
