There are so many things going on it is hard to keep up, most of them bad. If this Administration was so inclined to do great things rather than ruining the country wouldn’t that be nice. Power corrupts, but not in every case there have been many Leaders in this country that saw their power for what it is, entrusted to them by the people that elected them, and some never got it, the difference between a great leader and the average or even bad leader.
Two issues that are on my mind at this moment. The obscene act of releasing those memos telling the enemy what no other president has ever done, how we conduct our interrogations. Now it isn’t a matter of what we will or will not do but the fact is we will do nothing to protect the security of our Nation. Beyond that they are planning on prosecuting Lawyers and maybe CIA operatives that did nothing but serve their country in an honourable way. This is just disgusting. I recently gave Obama a positive review for sending troops to Afghanistan, the problem is that, just like everything that comes out of his mouth it was a lie, 20,000 combat troops are now 4,000 non combatins. Mark Levin was on Hannity last night and just was livid over this and said he would defend these people for no charge and names a few others that have committed to helping him, names I did not know. Not only did he say that but he gave a long list of people that he was going to call as witnesses, shooting a cannon across the bow of the Obama Administration in no uncertain terms, I don’t think you want this guy angry at you. Add Hannity comments and it is doubtful this will ever happen, Sean said he will raise as much money as it took to defend these patriots. At the moment this is still America, keep up the good fight where every it finds you, stand up for what is right. If anyone doesn’t think that they record all these talk radio shows daily they are fooling themselves, they have already either decided to ruin Mark Levin or take him at his word and back off or both. But they must remember every cause does better with a Martyr.
The other matter is about the financial health of the country. TARP money was given to some willing and thankful banks while others said we don’t need it. The problem is they somehow and I don’t know how forced them to take the TARP money. Now they have said, you know this isn’t going to cost as much as we thought, we are just going to take our pound of flesh in common stock, effectively nationalising every large bank in the country. All under the smoke screen of, see we didn’t even need that whole $700 billion dollars, $350 of it they can’t even account for. The dirty little secret is they are doing it under the table through the Federal Reserve which has promised $7 Trillion with a T to prop up these failed businesses. So my old math, tells me $7 Trillion + $837 Billion + $650 Billion plus God knows what else, is darn close to $10 Trillion or doubling the National debt in 100 days. The debt route is actually the best case scenario, it is ugly because it passes on to our great grand children payments that they never voted for and neither did we. The other scenario is just printing the money, which is what I think they will do, if you liked the depression you will love hyper inflation, the very worst thing that can happen to an economy. Gawd do we need some adult supervision in Washington, every single one of these problems have better solutions than the routes taken, but it doesn’t help advance their agenda. Hard to believe but they want the worst economy they can get, why, well that might be another post.
