I love it. I absolutely love it.
I have to hand it to these Democrats. They’re very clever - sneaky, but clever. Let’s sign this 1,000-page monstrosity, with no one getting a chance to read the damn thing, and then run off in to the sunset. That way, we’re out of dodge and don’t have to deal with those pesky Republicans and they’re common sense.
Oh America, it’s crazy but sometimes I think we’re headed in to a wrong direction. But nah, we’re in Candyland now with hope, change, dreams, and dancing monkeys too.
In some not so obvious news, the House passed and happily approved Obama’s stealfromus stimulus plan with $787 billion in spending – the largest spending bill in American history. We await Senate backing.
And despite united, firm Republican opposition, along with seven surprisingly-sharp Democrats, it was an obvious victory for the administration and the left.
Now, who’s ready for a weekend getaway to Rome? No? How about a quick rendezvous in Chicago? We could pick up the Blagojevich’s and paint the town red!
If it sounds crazy, you’re not alone. But sadly, it’s the mindset of your great leaders – Barack “Brothers, pull your pants up” Obama and Nancy “500-million Americans will lose their jobs” Pelosi.
After a sly thumbs-up signal to the press on the news that the House passed the economic do-nothing plan, Barry O is off to Chicago for a weekend getaway with the fam. Because, you know, there isn’t anything going on right now in Washington.
And while the Obama’s will feast on some of that great Chicago pizza, Pelosi will likely be saying “That’s amore!” in-between bites of lasagna as she’ll be jetting over to Rome for some “important meetings” that possibly involve a sit-down with Pope Benedict XVI and to receive some award with her name on it (because hey, when you’re Nancy Pelosi you need any award you can get). The Botox Queen will live it up in The Eternal City for over a week, just FYI.
Meanwhile, you, the average American, sit in your home, knowing that you’re about to live in a country that is nearly $1 trillion (that’s twelve zeroes) deeper in deficit and run by a group of politiscammers that make Mexico’s government look semi-intelligent.
You can take pride in knowing that your government “leaders” have taken their dreams, wishes, and sidebar organizations, funded them to the max, and called it an economic stimulus package. Great! Spending money they (we) don’t have and then out they go for their lavish vacations. Wait, is this our American government, or am I watching an episode of The Hills?
I’m not sure about you, but I’d love to take in a game at Wrigley Field or zip over to Rome and see the sights without a care in the world, but unlike Washington I have some sense (not to mention a 9-to-5), and I know the best I can do for now is pop in my “Evening in Barcelona” music CD and try to make the most of it with a martini in hand.
What happened to all the “common sense” coming to Washington? What happened to all that promised transparency? Not more than a month in office and already false promises? It’s called the Obama administration.
Signed, sealed, and delivered? No.
Sign, spend, and skedaddle. True cowards. True liberals. True Obama government.
