The Obama Tattoo Removal Kit

Every now and again, your teenager gives in to that base temptation and does something impulsive and self-destructive.  It sets them back for a while, but you dust them off, hope they learned their lesson, and get them back on their feet.  American voters are a lot like that.

When the Electoral College voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976, it was like dating that person who your parents anxiously warned was not a good match for you.  But, he seemed so genuine and romantic compared to that boring old Gerald Ford.

Bill Clinton was a fire-red Pontiac Firebird with that big gold eagle painted around the supercharged SD-455 engine protruding through the hood.  The Clinton ride was flashy, fast and dangerous and got us into a lot of trouble.  We came out of it a bit disheveled, but none the worse for wear.

Electing Barack Obama was like, let’s say, getting a face tattoo in the likeness of a Che Guevara.  Somehow over the next 20 years, we should find a way to undo it.  It will involve many painful treatments that fade the impression a little more each time.   And the sooner we begin, the better off we will be.

Daily news reports these days are an ominous drumbeat of our sorry economic condition.  The polls are measuring the regret that America is experiencing for having elected someone to the presidency whose strongest quality is his speaking skill.

And the President’s behavior seems to reflect those of the depressed captain of a rudderless ship, out of wind and out of ideas.  Nothing spoke louder to us than his announcing a pending job creation plan just before retreating to Martha’s Vineyard.

We remember that it was less than three years ago that President Obama announced his initial plan for a healthy job market, ostensibly showing resultsby January of 2011.  Flanked by a Democratic controlled House and Democratic controlled Senate, President-Elect Obama delivered this assertion in November of 2008: http://youtube/b1nz60J39eM

I did not vote for Mr. Obama, strictly because his political philosophies are as antediluvian as the city of Nod.  But to be honest, once the election was decided, I savored in the moment that America had elected a black president.  With his lovely family, his talented persona and veneer of judgment, my hope was that he would leave the country in no worse a condition than Bill Clinton did.

But with the reality of the damaging effects of having given hardcore liberalism a chance at the helm, Americans are once again finding their maturity.  Voters seem ready to come to their senses and elect someone with the kind of wisdom that is called for in the Presidency of the United States of America.

They realize that re-electing Mr. Obama to a second term would be the ultimate act of rebellion against reason; one from which we may never recover.  I am looking for wisdom and assertiveness while considering who would be the most effective replacement for the Obama Administration.

We gave the Chinese the W-88. Our crown jewel thermonuclear warhead of our arsenal. It was the last one we designed over 20 years ago, and ending production over a decade ago. We are not designing or producing any new warheads. That is not the case with Russia, China, Iran, and probably many more.

There has been a major change in US nuclear policy in the last 20 years. Why is weakness acceptable? Why is weakness admirable? Why is weakness some sort of moral high ground? Overkill IS a GOOD thing because it leaves no question in your potential enemies mind where they don’t want to go.

“Not so. Clinton’s public rejection of logic helped send an entire generation into la-la land.”

Absolutely, there seems to be an ever growing myth that Bill Clinton was a really good president but there is zero truth to it. Obama is so bad that many are saying that he makes Clinton look good but for those who really understand reality the Clinton administration may not look as bad as Obama’s but it will never look good. Even if we had elected another Reagan in 2008 we would still be struggling to overcome the damage done by Clinton, Obama has simply piled on so much more damage that it is easy for many to forget what was already done.

I should have said, “Clinton gave...”

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I seriously doubt that “we” would retaliate if Obammie the Commie were in the WH. He is the type that would say, “this is a wake-up call that we need to rethink our culture blah blah blah.”

Hillary would embroil us in a war and use that to impose martial law. She is a Stalinist to the core.

We might be able to hit the missile before the warheads dispersed but they just have to fire enough so that one gets through and there goes 12 cities.

Ironic that most of those targets are 'blue' voter areas.

I'm not sure they'd nuke more than a couple, actually, just to make their point and disrupt intermodal transportation at commerce hubs. The rest would go for strategic retaliatory-strike capable targets, carrier groups, and the like.

Wait a month after the strike, and most of those left in cities would kneel before their new masters for a crust of bread.
