It seems impossible to believe that the President’s

mandate has been squashed already.

 

But facts are facts.  The party of “no” can’t

promulgate any policies worth following but

they seem to be able to torpedo anything

which may benefit the “average” American.

 

The “average” American, by my definition,

is a person who works for a living. This precludes

the “fat cats” who have already earned or inherited

enough money to live forever.  It does include

the “low cats” who can’t afford the price of a cup

of coffee at Starbucks.  It includes about 300

million Americans.

 

It includes everybody everywhere who contributes

to the “industrial nations” statistics, or those who

belong to the wealthiest nations category

of which we are, temporarily, number one.

 

It includes those nations (28 of them) who have

better standards of living than ours.  It includes

all those nations who have better health care

then we do.  It includes every nation who educates

their children better than we do.  It includes virtually

every nation included in the third world category…

 

It is time to change our statistics.  Any politics

which contributed to the previous 40 years of failed

policies need to be jettisoned.  Those who seek

to perpetuate those policies are either in the top

1% of income earners (it would be ridiculous to

suggest to these winners that they change what

works for them– voluntarily) or are those brain-dead

among us who have never have enjoyed the Eureka

moment which accompanies an original thought.

In other words, the incredible majority of Americans

who have been brainwashed into believing the drivel

of past administrations or current lobbyists are not

in a position to move us into a better place.

 

Either we get ahead of the curve or we will suffer

the disgrace of losers who populate the rubble of history.

This could be a fitting eulogy:

 

Fellow Romans,

We learned nothing from your failed republic. In fact,

we took your arrogance to a whole new level.  We actually

try to outspend the rest of the combined budgets among the

planet’s various militarys on a military offensive budget

(misnomer = “defense”) against no certain enemy.  Your

losing strategy to conquer the world we proudly embrace although

it will bury us in the rock pile of past great civilations like yours.

 

 

President Barak Obama needs to bully this nation into

the 21st century. And he needs to stick by his campaign

promises. All the arguments to the contrary are

assuring our speedy descent into a has been super power.

We are not far from Russia my friends.  They are currently,

if not always, in the grip of gangsters who pillage and plunder

their economy at will.  We’re on the edge.
