The Era of Obama is Over

It was Jerry Brown, ironically, who first touted the virtues of smaller government saying "Less is more". Rush Limbaugh has said "Roosevelt is dead! His policies live on but we're in the process of doing something about that, too". Not only couldn't Roosevelt, Truman or Johnson get elected today because they are such overt liberals, you would never see the Republican party nominating candidates like Eisenhaur or Nixon ever again. Clearly President Obama's reign, over the nation and over the polls is over. We're going to elect a republican House, at least, and just maybe a republican Senate, too. On the Mc Laughlin report all the people like Pat were talking about how all the chairmanships of committees would fall to Republicans and how they would set the agenda of which bills come up. The Republicans like John Boehner have complained that the democrats didn't allow them input on anything but hauled out these thousand page bills for an up or down vote with no amendments. That era is gone. John Mc Laughlin also predicted that Hillary would be President in 2013. What we do know is that there is a perception that President Obama is just not connecting with the American people, and with the massive gridlock that will surely happen with a Republican congress, this will only get worse. We have seen a preview of this Republican reign in the arguments last week before the Supreme Court which they had the audio of on C-Span. It was the case of gay bashing and demeaning this whole country at a protest outside a funeral of a military hero. You could tell by the questions they were asking that they just didn't "get it". They were dense as stone as to the implications of the case and the dangerous precedents it would set. It wasn't just Scelia and Allito but liberals such as Ginsburg too, that were asking these self-refuting questions of denial. It is hardly even necessary to wait for a verdict with a court expressing the most open bias since the days of King Henry VIII. They argued for seconds over one hour. I imagine they had all of them made up their minds almost before arguments were even ended.

The Nobel Peace Price has been awarded to a dissident jailed protestor in China, who may not have even been informed that he won. He was a protestor at Tienimin square but unlike his fellow protesters didn't have the sense to get into some economic venture and forget that he ever held such beliefs. The Chinese government "warned" the committee not to make this choice. Of course the US government has no sway over China now because they own our soul because they hold all of our economic debt. You would think this would be a good topic for tea party candidates to latch on to, but I haven't heard a peep out of them on this issue.

In a small college town in Washington State a bunch of college co-eds were given roofies or exticy in their drinks and were passed out. The police are investigating. You know a simple way to avoid problems like these is tough alcohol prohibitions against people under 21 drinking alcohol. It seems almost a prerequisite that a college student can't drink any alcohol unless they intend to get roaring drink and hopefully to pass out and not remember a thing. That seems to be their goal. The idea of having one or two beers after work or a glass of wine with their dinner seems unthinkable to these people. If colleges cracked down, you'd cut down on these type of mishaps directed against women, and their grades would probably rise dramatically.

There was a roomered 10-10-10 computer virus that was to strike today. I had problems with a virus of my own yesterday. My Adobe Media Player.exe program had to be quarentined by Norton because it rated a High danger alert. So I have lost Adobe Media Player. I had heard that various Adobe files were targeted by certain viruses. Now on the Mc Laughlin report they were talking about a Sux-net virus or however it's spelled. Supposedly Iran's nuclear plant had to close down because of this Suxnet virus. There was disagreement as to whether this virus alreadh HAD struck, or that it WILL strike iminently. There is also disagreement as to whether it will be our government that unleashes this virus, or whether China will unleash it on Iran and somehow blame it on Israel. We only know that it's a very dangerous virus and if it were in general circulation it might be replicated and spread throughout the world.
