Preparing for Health Care "Summit"

  1. Popcorn - check
  2. Shasta diet grapefruit - check
  3. Back support pillow - check
  4. Pepto-Bismol - check
While this administration continues to spend money it doesn't have, let's look at some of the unintended consequences of what's going on.  We all know about the obvious stuff such as the millions of unemployed or under-employed folks.

Since Obama has taken office the turmoil in this country has ramped up to a degree I have never witnessed in all my voting years.  How many productive hours of work or recreation have been swept down a memory hole by worry and uncertainty?   How many people have actually had their health compromised by this constant dread so many of us have come to live with?  How much of our money has been spent to chauffeur Obama and his minions around so he can do what he (sorry, my editor was busy) push his socialist agenda? 

And while we have had our peace of mind shattered and our freedoms eroded, the people we have elected continue to reap the benefits of high salaries and tax-payer provided perks, not to mention their bloated pension funds. 

Tomorrow they will gather together and participate in what is most assuredly a waste of time and money.  And we the people, who pay their salaries, will once again be subjected to more wasted time and probably suffer a massive case of heart burn.

The one thing I'm sure the democrats are not paying attention to is the rage that is building in the American people.  People can handle being insulted, just as they can handle being praised.  What drives people bonkers is being ignored.

Tsk, tsk, my dear Adrienne -- don't you know that all of this mess is George Bush's fault?? Poor Obama INHERITED all of this, don't you know?

Why, it's just like Churchill and Neville Chamberlain in WWII -- after all, didn't Churchill repeatedly blame all of England's woes on his predecessor, Chamberlain? What about that famous quote of his "Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - except when you've inherited, as I have, this Hitler thing from my predecessor”?

Or how about "The price of greatness is responsibility -- except when you've inherited a mess from your predecessor, like I have, in which case he's to blame"?

What??!! He didn't say those things?? Churchill didn't blame everything on Chamberlain?? Guess he was hopelessly old-fashioned, and didn't understand the New Improved Statesmanship...

Austie - You're right! Silly me - I just need a good slap upside the head.

I prefer caffeine free Diet Coke. Pepto in tablets or liquid? I use the Walmart brand

Adrienne said...

Agnes - Shasta diet grapefruit is caffeine free but you may still have CF diet Coke.

Pepto in tablets and I always buy store brands.

Obama's such a megalomaniac he probably does think he is the cause of all life's problems for conservatives.
