It doesn't feel quite right for Obama to play "rope-a-dope" while getting pummeled by Cheney, but nobody seems to know how to stop it because it is so unprecedented and so outrageous that we are paralyzed. :::::::: Something
Just Doesn't Feel Quite Right
Before
Barack Obama became president, back on the campaign trail, there were at least
two publicized incidents where the Secret Service's protection detail raised
doubts about their zeal to protect Obama.
I thought,
after the election, they will get their
shit together and he will be as safe at least as past presidents have been
since JFK. Not so, when a man can wear a loaded weapon near the President. I'm a
second amendment person, a Member of NRA, have a state permit to carry. But I would not consider carrying a firearm
anywhere near any kind of crowd, let alone when the Commander–in–Chief is
appearing. Doesn't feel right that the Secret Service doesn't come down on them.
Something doesn't feel quite right about these incidents and the coverage given
them by the MSM.
I was
born in Texas, but something flipped inside me when I saw that goon in the
cowboy hat in front of the Texas capitol and heard him saying he hated the
United States. Something not quite right when he gets media coverage on a loop
and is cheered by a handful of relatives and mental patients.
This is deja
vu from the 'sixties, when patriotic Americans who protested were demonized by the White
House and something is
not right when that seems to be happening again, but this time the protesters are paid shills
of the health and drug industries. Not right, when we said we would reform the
democratic process so the politicians couldn't be owned by other than the
people.
It
doesn't feel quite right for Obama to play "rope-a-dope" while
getting pummeled by a clearly "rabid" right. Seems like something is
not quite right when the former President, Cheney, not only openly criticizes
his successor, he actually incites anger against Obama by saying he "is
making America less safe."
Something
is not right when the same tactics against Cheney would have been tantamount to
political suicide. To the President, I say "Snap out of it!" Throw
a few if you want to be standing at the end.
It's not
right that so many people around Obama don't appear to care what directions
things take. It is like, "why put out all this effort on a one term prez?"
It doesn't seem right that Bill and Hillary seem to be lurking in Obama's
future.
Obama, I
thought you would take the high road, but to let the slime who brought America
to ruin assassinate your character and programs, that, sir is betraying all who
voted for you.
I think
you have until Christmas before you will be forced to drastically restructure
your entire administration or some bad things will happen, the least of which
will be your failure to get elected for a second term.
It
doesn't seem right that only Obama and the American people think he is
President, and I wonder at times if even Obama thinks it.
