Another Week Without Leadership

Gilligan's Island
S.S. Minnow
It's not like we have "leadership" when Obama isn't on vacation.  We are just spared the meaningless speeches full of empty promises.  Politics is more and more like being in medicine--doctors are always out when you need them.  Oh wait, we do have politicians playing doctor (Mitt Romney and his "Romney Care," Obama with his O'Bummer Care) and doctors playing politicians (Ron Paul running for president).
Obama's ratings continue to fall off the charts--being the "one hit wonder" that he is.  The "one" thing he did well was get elected.  Obama.  The "entitlement" president.  He's entitled to do nothing but spend, spend, spend.  Is he even back from Martha's Vineyard?  I mean he spent 1.2 million dollars per bus (which were made in Canada eh?) for his "three day tour."  Couldn't that have been a "three hour tour" like on Gilligan's Island?

Meanwhile...back at the ranch...
Me?  I'm at home.  I can't afford a vacation not to mention we are in the middle of a drought.  Which brings me to Libya.  I thought about going there for more heat, sand and the free stuff out of Momar's compound.  Maybe there are ball caps, kussies, pens and key chains.  I really just want a t-shirt.  

The question of the day is, "Why is it OK for "rebels" to overtake Gadhafi's compound because they want to "swim in his pool" and are tired of the oppression but I can't walk in the White House and make myself a sandwich and use the facilities?  After all, who pays THOSE bills?"  I'm not sure, but I think it's the American taxpayer.  And while I'm in question mode, why are the Libyan people cheering and flashing the victory sign while waving the Muslim flag?  Question marks are coming out of my head.  Benghazi?  Really?
Statement from NATO:  "Mission is not over....Aid, medical supplies and fuel (will be given) where needed...".  So we are helping the Muslim Nation to flourish?  I'm starting to understand how this works just like the Palestinians need a "state" so let's give them half of Israel.  We want terrorists for allies but not Israel?  With 9/11 right around the corner, what a slap in the face.

A Note to CNN
Libya rebels
The only story on CNN is Tripoli, Libya.  By promoting the rebels actions, you are promoting that it is OK to overthrow a government.  You are promoting that violence is acceptable.  You are advocating GUNS--oh my, did you realize that?  You are ANTI-AMERICAN when it comes to the rights of the AMERICAN people but have no problem advocating freedom in OTHER countries.  As I see it, the only difference between the condition of the American people and those of Libya is that Americans get "cake"and that is what keeps them in check.

Does this mean that the Marines Hymn is going to change now too?

Mount Rushmore, SD
"From the Halls of Montezuma, 
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles,
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title,
Of United States Marine...

Ups and Downs
The good news is that while Obama is on vacation, the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are UP.  The bad news is that there has been a series of earthquakes all the way from Colorado to Washington, DC.  Of course, this is known as, "Bush's Fault" while others think it is a result of our founding fathers rolling over in their graves.

If the Pier's Morgan (CNN) question of the day is, "who will run Libya post Gadafi", then who will run America post Obama?"  Back to you Anderson...
