Professional Leader

How can one not love watching the right-wing establishment's consternation? It's right out of Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice. The spirits that I summoned I can't rid myself of.

While not everyone may agree with every crisis caused by the former Bush cabinet, of which Obama has taken the job of trying to repair, President Obama has been a very professional leader, along with the fact that he is actually working. Working is not something Bush did much of since he spent 45 percent of the taxpayers' time on vacation. Allow me to share some Tao with you, to get the good is to get rid of the bad.

Conservatives in this country have latched on to this attack that the Obama administration is pushing us toward - whatever, often tinged with enough paranoia to qualify them for their own custom-fit tinfoil hats. Most often the attacks contain no facts but heresay. They don't bother to check out the facts anymore, they never apologize even when they find they were wrong. They just leave the lie out there.

Faux is little more than a cartoon network. It's not journalism, even by the dismal standards of post-millennial America. They are manipulating emotions, creating fear and suspicion. As for the facts, they make em up as they go along. Murdoch's propaganda machine is dedicated to the destruction of the Obama administration. They find that for their audience, fiction works better than fact. The Republican strategy is, try to blame Obama and the Democrats for the pain associated with cleaning up the mess the Republicans created by destroying every financial instrument in the country. Isn't it funny how the GOP leadership are all a sudden worrying about the poor families they created?

The hypocrisy, and sheer tall-tales perpetuated by GOP media is not remarkable. What is remarkable is the lengths at which people will believe and follow, just parrot same right-wing drivel. Nothing more than a Ponzi scheme.

Instead of helping to build this great nation up again they continue what Bush did for the last eight years - tearing us down. They are making huge leaps of logic that don't add up. Misbegotten ideas ought to be swept into the dustbin of history.

About Obama having a gay in his cabinet, don't forget repugs Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, Bob Allen, Glenn Murphy, Jr., Jim West, Richard Curtis. Just to name a few gay Republicans. Dick Cheney's daughter is openly gay.

The difference is Democrats haven't gone around for years hypocritically cramming morality down everyone else's throats, and suggesting they are the moral majority with special righteous qualifications to leglislate every one else's moral behavior. That's not freedom. Our forefathers would agree.

It is about the GOP returning to power by any means necessary and they don't care how much you have to suffer period

Once upon a time, there was a Democratic public servant doing good leading his country into prosperity later squandered by a Republican, but that's a different tale.
