The Dumbing Down of American Standards

"Hope and Change" seems to have revealed itself to be more than just campaign posters. Since Obama took office over a year ago, we seem to spend a lot of time searching for HOPE. HOPE that the economy will just turn around overnight because we handed out taxpayer dollars to campaign donors and anti-capitalist businesses. HOPE that the very corporations our administration plans to punish with taxes and mandatory health care fees will decided to start hiring full time employees. And HOPE that Iran doesn't really have the nuclear capabilities they claims to have.

The CHANGE is so evident it is blinding. No longer is our sitting president held accountable by the press. He is free to golf as much as he wants while the economy sputters and while oil spills into the gulf of Mexico. He is Free to decided that 9.9% of the population claiming unemployment benefits is acceptable, and blame it on his predecessor. The respectability factor has again CHANGED back to the Clinton standard of profanity laced conversation in the White House, even elevating it to national televised speeches. Biden constantly proves to have foot-in-mouth disease, yet the press ignores Obama's Vice-President pick and continues to attack Sarah Palin. Name calling is totally acceptable in this administration. Especially when it comes to the protesters of too much government waste of tax-payer dollars. CHANGE has come to how the Democratic party and Obama administration views peaceful protester's exercising their constitutional right to show dissent. They call this action "un-American" and "un-patriotic".

In six months we will have another opportunity to HOPE for CHANGE. The press is already dumbing down the outcome by distancing President Obama from the Pelosi/Reid congress. Articles about the "differing opinions" between the White House and congressional Democrats are becoming more frequent. They are throwing around the term "anti-incumbency mood", leaving out the fact that the incumbent party in power is the Democratic Party. And contrary to his popularity with the liberal media, President Obama has lost the support of the independents and is now consistently below 50% approval. Which means just the Democrats approve. Not a prescription for winning an election.

As long as the media and the administration continues to dumb down their standards by attempting to make the unacceptable acceptable, we can look forward to voters replacing "HOPE" with ACTION in November. And the Obama "CHANGE" will be swept away with a National CORRECTION.

Taking the Queen out of Check

Hillary Clinton is tired. She told Esquire magazine that she is feeling the results of too much travel as Secretary of State. Is she showing her age? Lack of stamina? Or is she repositioning herself as the Democrat Party front runner as President Obama alienates more and more of his supporters?

I've said it before and I will keep saying it until time proves me wrong. Don't count Hillary out of the Presidential race just yet. By hinting that she is feeling physically drained, she is signalling the White House that she's not happy. And an unhappy Hillary is a force to be reckoned with. The question remains; will she take herself out of the decaying Obama administration before the November elections so as not to taint herself as a member of the cabinet that Americans revolted against? Or will she wait out the election to see what her next move will be?

Hillary has said she would only serve out one term as Secretary of State. She could now be looking at 2012 as an opportunity to threaten to challenge Obama unless he anoints her as the chosen nominee for 2016. Or, she could be looking at a real challenge to a failed president and an opportunity to appear as the best hope for Democrats in 2012. Or is she possible hinting that she would be less stressed as a Supreme Court Justice? Whichever way you look at it, her timing is curious.

Don't forget that Mrs. Clinton almost made it to the convention in a very hard fought campaign against Obama. She was the front runner for quite a long time before Obama nudged past her. One can't help but wonder if she constantly gets the urge to sound like the Republicans and say "I told you so". Her next move will definitely be interesting. I predict she steps down after announcing that she is suffering from constant exhaustion. A few months later it will be found that she suffered from a curable ailment. And that she needs a few months rest and then will be back to normal. Back to make her move on the political chess board. Back to put king Obama in check.

The Truth Will Out.

When the Democrats screamed that they were being threatened for their 'yes' vote on Obamacare, we waited for the arrests to come. And waited. Finally we have a man in custody who threatened the life of, not only a congressman, but his family. And Republican Congressman Cantor is very grateful to the law enforcement officials who tracked down this violent man. Too bad none of the supposed "teabag extremists" has been identified or found.
