Obama Bows to Foreign Leader- Again

OK, maybe when our fearless leader bowed to the King in Saudia Arabia it was a mistake, or misunderstanding, but  when the LA Times asks "How low will he go?", well , I mean the LA Times gets it...the LA Times for crying out loud...

I know some people really truly like our president, and he probably is a nice man, but I sure wish he was still a law professor and NOT where he is....

More nonsense from me

For several years( really? years? yes I guess thats right) I tried to post a blog a day, pricipally on my Yahoo 360 page. Well that ended horribly when yahoo dumped 360, well, except for Vietnam, which i understand is still having Yahoo 360Plus (vn.360plus.yahoo.com/ ) 
Any way, so I moved over here to Multiply, and tried to stay up on my blogging habit until about a couple of months age my cousin comes back from Iraq and starts a Facebook page, trying to get the rest of the family to have one as well so we can all "stay connected"...which was really nice for awhile, especially catching up with his half sister, whom i had not seen in 25 years. Then we all got together in October, and there was the whole family again...and looking at the pictures, I realized something obvious..damn we're all old. My uncles are 80 and 75, my mom is 77, I am 56, my brothers at in their 50"s....my cousins are all in their late 40's or early 50's, except the one, she is 38....And then there was my niece and her two brothers..They are all in their 30's and have kids.  And suddenly I felt old, as I checked facebook everyday and found these snippets of life...almost like that insipid Twitter...

And i find myself sounding like a cantankerous oldster, asking my niece why she allowed her 13 years old to pierce her nose, or dye her hair purple, and why does she let her dress like...I dont know what. Pants so tight nothing is imagined, and so low riding that a stiff tug would drop them to her knees.

Or my other niece, who is nearly 18 and thinks everyone older than her is simply so boring, and she has some exclusive view on reality...

And so I gave up on the Facebook page I had for my family, and started to think more about this page. About where i seems to have found a diverse group of people who frequently share, share opinions, views, ideas, and often don't agree, but mostly agree that being disagreeable is unacceptable. (Or you get blocked )

So like a friend of mine said, in this month of Thanksgiving, we have much to  be thankful for.
Thanks for listening and being there..

Can i say something here???

I have refused to comply with political correctness since back at least to 1996...it just started being too weird to not call it as it is, to say something is right when its not, etc, etc.

I started blowing my top probably about 2004, as people i worked with increaseing saw fit to say conservatives and Republicans and even moderate Democrats were evil...Come on, evil??

Well a little over a year ago I wrote some notes while watching the newly elected Obama speak about what he "had to do" and I scribbled down some numbers....program A-400 billion, program b- 650 billion, and then I have "Comprehensive Health Care- 1.5 trillion plus"...I used to be an auditor, and have some idea what these programs cost...well now that he is well underway to trying to get these things, like they used to say, are we better off??

Unemployment not only stubbornly refuses to go down, it goes up, even as GDP goes up. We have a massive amount of borrowing in TARP, and yet hardly any of it has been used to do much of anything except bailout big banks thats are crapping on customers like me

Have you had you credit card lines slashed? i HAVE . Visa account w $5000 line, zero balance, slashed to $200 limit(really); another bank reduced a credit line to balance owed. Interest on all accounts hiked up...and here is a little secret...as the amount you go is compared to the credit available, it effects you FICO score...so the above little shennaigans by the banks caused my credit score to drop from Excellent to Good...thing what its doing to people with Good or Fair credit...its forcing them out of the credit marketplace..making buying things like the Government Motors cars more difficult and yes more expensive...

Lets talk about Government Motors and Fiat Chrysler....sales are dismal, because there is no confidence in their ability to be around, in the fact that buying a cars from them is like lending your crazy uncle money to built a house and then agreeing to buy it from him...at a profit...

What jobs have been created? Government jobs? I have a cousin who is gleefully collecting unemployment (he's a idiot) and is now overjoyed he gets an extension...meanwhile the US government (thats really us taxpayers) paid for him to learn to be a real estate broker...yet he can't find a job since the real estate market still sucks especially here in the west...

Our state of california was the laughingstock for being billions in the hole, yet today 9 more states are lining up to be broke as well...yet Obama says states have to figure it out- Hey, MR President, if the national economy is sucking badly, and there is massive unemployment, and the unemployed pay NO taxes, where are the states going to get the money? I mean after all, they rely on tax income to fund government...hello??? His answer= A Job Summit.

And then there is the so called "good war" in Afghanistan, where Obama has so far failed to lead . I dont know, people used to tell me making a bad decision was better than no decision. I guess they didn't teach that in Chicago. Its called leadership...and I think this country is sorely lacking any. Just watch CPAN, and see how Congress behaves if you think i am wrong.

Thanks for letting me rant here, and have a nice weekend. I am taking a long weekend since I have a salary cut ....what is it, 20% now...guess the government will have less to take anyway

(In a bit of irony, my pay raise became effective the same day they announced increasing the salary reductions for salaried employees- so my raise amounts to .07% (roughly $4.55)- what will i do with all that money? Buy an extra Big Mac?)

Veterans Day 2009

This day is set aside every year to honor those who served in this country's military, or are serving today. There are many expressions such as "If you love your freedom, thank a Vet" that have become fairly common since 9/11. If you should know or meet a veteran, please thank them for their service. I know men of my honeys age, Vietnam vets, are really appreciative, even 40 years later...Canice
