This is a repost . This item was posted a year ago, and things have only gotten worse. The repubs have been the party of hell no, and have fought BHO on everything he does. We finally got health care reform. If the repubs had cooperated instead of fought, a much better plan might have been enacted.
The economy remains in the toilet, and has been dealt a body blow by deepwater horizon. Metro Atlanta can expect an influx of oil spill refugees to compete for the few jobs available. Meanwhile, the water crisis in Atlanta has been aided by heavy rains, but a long term solution is just as distant as in 2007. That was the year of drought, with the fishwrapper printing charts of how many days we had before the water ran out.
Today is election day in Georgia. Sarah Palin has decided to endorse Karen Handel, and assumes the voters will not refudiate her choice. The Republican primary has a straw vote on the ballot, on such issues as abortion and exclusion from Obamacare. One of the choices is about states rights. Georgia took a serious view of this issue in 1861, with disastrous results.
America is working under a triple whammy in 2010…war in Babylon and Stanland, economic chaos, and deepwater horizon. The only one of these that was chosen directly was war. These wars are ruinously expensive, and result in the deaths of thousands of women and children. BHO is withdrawing (for now, under protest) from Babylon, but has made a commitment to the conflict in Stanland. Much of the killing is done by robot planes. Whether or not BHO is a war criminal is not for PG to judge.
Maybe the only appropriate thing to do is tell a joke. This is courtesy of funnyjokes.com.
An old hippie dies and goes to the Pearly Gates. St. Peter looks him up in his big book and says, “I’m sorry, but you’ll be going down to Hell.” The hippie, astounded, peers through the gates and sees G-d walking in the distance.
“G-d!” he says. “What gives? Remember that time I was tripping on acid? I saw you, and you said we’d be in Heaven together forever!”
G-d thought for a minute, then said, “Oh yeah, but I was drunk.”






PG got an email with a few “clever” pictures of BHO. They will not be reprinted today due to copyright issues. If you want to see a few, go to the source. While you are there, you might get a clue as to why BHO got elected.
The Repubs made a mess. We got mixed up in wars, where the only victories will be ruinously expensive. The economy is a mess. And yet, the “right wing” continues to point fingers, and play any number of rhetorical games. We were offered Sarah Palin as a Vice President.
On the other hand, BHO has a fanatic constituency now that is hypersensitive to criticism. It is going to be a long four years. The POTUS is a magnet for criticism, satire, humor, and meanness. It is just the way it is. BHO is a product of Chicago politics, and can more than take care of himself.
Yes, BHO is the first dark skinned President. He had a white mother, and his father was from Kenya. He is not the descendent of slaves. By the Jewish tradition… i.e. the children of a Jewish mother are Jews….BHO is white. And yet, African America claims BHO as one of their own. People are being set up for disappointment.
On the other side of the fair and balanced fence, the conservatives are a piece of work. PG looks at sites like iowntheworld and is reminded of how little he has in common with the conservative movement.
It makes you wonder why anyone would want to be POTUS. As firebug William T. Sherman said:
“If forced to choose between the penitentiary and the White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you.”
