Temper Tantrums

Barack Obama is throwing another temper tantrum today because Republicans are not kissing his ass as he blames them for shutting down the government.  Somebody needs to tell this guy to grow up, pull his head out of Saul Alinsky's dead butt, and get an education in how the real world works.  Oh, and maybe it is time for one of his fawning brownnosers to inform him not everyone in this country thinks he is God.  In fact, many folks think he is a Muslim, a follower of Muhammad.  Personally, I think he believes he is Muhammad.

Who are the obstructionists here?  The House of Representatives has produced four budgets over the last few days as the fiscal year deadline approached, each summarily rejected without consideration by Obama and Harry Reid.  The only issue in contention was that Republicans proposed to postpone the implementation of ObamaCare on private individuals for one year, not an outrageous request since Obama had already done that for employers.  Besides, ObamaCare is not ready to be implemented as it is becoming one giant clusterf**k.  Interestingly, one of the issues that really pissed off us ordinary citizens was Congress exempting themselves and their staffs from ObamaCare.  How many people know that the last of the four Republican budgets included language that would have repealed that exemption, making the privileged denizens of Capitol Hill subject to the rules of ObamaCare just like the rest of us?  Not happening.

Whatever happened to the principle of responsibility, the concept that the decision makers at the top are responsible for their actions?  The editors of America's tabloid publishing and broadcasting organizations, the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc., never hold Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic Party that has been in charge for the last seven years (lest we forget, they controlled the House and Senate the last two years of W's presidency) responsible for anything.  Somehow a first term Senator from Texas who hasn't even been in office for two years gets blamed for the last five years of government mismanagement.

Apparently the news organizations don't want to confuse the public with the facts.  Barack Obama has presided over the weakest economic recovery ever while at the same time turning us into a whiny wimpy weakling on the world stage.  Even though the Constitution requires the Senate to produce a budget every year, Harry Reid's Senate had not done so in four years until last Saturday on a party line vote, but only after throwing out the one passed by the House that the Democrats refused to even consider.  How does Hillary Clinton escape any responsibility for our plunge in global relevance during her reign as Secretary of State?  She spent most of her time in the Middle East, and look how that has turned out.  And those were her people who died in Benghazi, but she seemed to care less. Yet she is now the Democrat's leading candidate for 2014.

The United States is becoming a nation of zombies, brain dead but still breathing.  In the real world people get fired for not doing their jobs, or doing them badly.  In Washington, D.C., they get re-elected, re-appointed or move on to higher office.  It's insane.
