OBAMA, THE ECONOMY, OIL, NOVEMBER IS COMING ( THANK GOD ) AND SO MUCH MORE…
WELL, AFTER RUNNING AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR TWO WEEKS FOR AFP AND YAF, I am now home for a while and so much has happened.
THE ONE JUST KEEPS DIGGING DEEPER AND DEEPER HOLES FOR HIM AND THE COUNTRY. The economy is not recovering ( new home sales are the lowest in 40 years ), Europe and Japan are cutting government spending and corporate taxes, oil continues to pour from the BP well, and he spends $500,000 to give a 10 minute speech in Ohio. Democratic Congressional leadership is talking about raising taxes on the middle class ( told you so ), the One appoints a nominee to the Supreme Court who has never been a judge and has never argued a case in court until last year when she argued that government has the power to control speech, movies and books, Joe BiteMe tells a crowd at a fundraiser that ” there’s no possibility to restore eight million jobs lost in the Great Recession”, and then he tells a small businessman not to be a smartass when he asks for lower taxes. I feel like I am living in a fantasy world, maybe Oz. His budget director announces he is leaving, his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel is rumored to be leaving and then he tells the G20 that a worldwide recovery will require that no country have an ‘undue advantage’. How can anyone still support this guy?? This is leadership, telling us that life will never be the same, that we have to accept less, that we have to double the national debt to recover economically? THIS IS LEADERSHIP?? This is Carterism. November can’t get here soon enough.
BUT, OH, I FORGOT, IT’S ALL BUSH’S FAULT.
ABOUT THAT OIL SPILL, it’s now day 68, and hundreds of thousands of jobs are being threatened, and the oil continues to flow into the Gulf while the One golfs. There is a ship anchored in Norfolk, the A Whale, an old tankewr refitted by its’ owners to skim oil from waters impacted by a spill. The authorities say they have skimmed 600,000 barrels of oil from the Gulf so far, in the last two months. The A Whale is designed to skim 500,000 barrels A DAY. Seems the Coast Guard is trying to determine whather the ship meets government requirements and regulations before it goes to the Gulf. Oh, and according to the AP, 168 million barrels have escaped into the Gulf, which is what we consume as a country in four hours. And, I would like to remind everyone that had this catastrophe occurred in ANWAR, the well could have been sealed in four days, with relatively minimal economic and environmental damage.
Finally a couple of more notes. Be sure and read the Seattle Times piece on the scam going on in our state retirement system, where employees are allowed to retire to get their pension, then they are hired back after several months, for their previous position for the same salary. I will be on David Boze’s show, 770 KTTH, 3-6 PM, on Monday, July 5th. And, you may be asking, how bad will November be for teh Democrats? Well, here’s a clue – Rory Reid, son of Harry, is running for Governor of Nevada. In his ads last week, his last name is never mentioned – he is just plain ol’ Rory.
November is coming. It can’t get here too soon.

Gay your home again, but how is going to fix this mess? I’m of a mind it will not be just Rep’s this time or the Dem’s. I fell it will take both pulling together and a man like my old boss R. Reagan to do. With that said, who do you feel can put this country back to gether again or is the hemorring to bad?

Well said, Kirby. So much has happened in less than two years. I can’t imagine another term with Obama in office. Please keep up your encouraging words and let’s take our country back in 2012!

The reason they get away with all this destruction is because people don’t pay attention,they are ignorant or don’t want to know.

Kirby- we consume 20 mill barrels/day. What i find really interesting is that they are now thinking we are losing 100,000 bbls/day. that is about 1% of all BP’s total production. that is just spillage! BP sets up 50 more wells out there that are actually pumping and they will double their US production.
there is a lot of oil down there!

Kirby,
The retirement scam is about five years old now. It started with the teachers unions. There are many old retired teachers being paid a premium to do what they were doing before they retired. When KING=TV gets done with the ferry system double dippers they can switch over to the Washington Schools. Imagine, drawing a full retirement AND your former salery to keep doing the same job, or come back as a CONSULTANT if you are an administrator.
GOOD ONE KIRBY…ALOHA,,,KAWIKA
