THE b.o. LECTURES

b.o. likes to lecture.

He likes to tell folks how it is, how they ought to be, and what they are doing that they should not be doing.

He tells the Republicans that they are obstructionists.

He tells the American people that they do not know what is good for them, that the only reason they do not care for his policies is that they do not understand them.

He tells the world that the US has been most questionable in its diplomatic policies and that he will change them for the better.

He tells rogue, barbarian nations that it is our fault that they do not relate better with us.

He tells us that our bankers are evil, that they seek to suck the very financial life blood from us.

He tells us that we are an environmentally dirty people, that we should bear ever greater burdens to clean up the worldwide environment.

He tells us that climate change is real, at the very time when all evidence seems to be pointing to the contrary.

He tells us that our American history is a story fraught with suffering and injustice, that the present generation of Americans have much to answer for.

He orders inane policies – the closing of Gitmo and the holding of terrorist trials in NYC.

He tells us that we have a rotten health care system – that we need to totally replace it, that we should hate it.

He associates with despicable individuals and claims he knows nothing of their despicableness.
I like that word.

He mirandizes enemy combatants, thereby preventing their in depth interrogation.

And so on it could go, on and on.

With a President like this, we really don't need any enemies.

But - there is hope.

He claims that he will press us with more lectures.
He promises that he will enlighten us.

He promises that he will 'doubledown'.

nancy says they will pass health care revolution even though fewer and fewer Americans approve of such legislative action.

And a side bar, b.o. used to lecture his pre-election nation that Bush was a unilateralist, that the US needed to work more in concert with other nations. Today, in Davos, barney farnk [misspelling intentional] informed the international bankers that the US had decided that bank regulation was needed, that that was it, that their opinions did not matter a whit -
And there is a good word, whit.

I hope I spelled it correctly.

Anyway, b.o. and barney are pieces of work.

Go for it, Guys - stay the course.

And the people of the US? I hope they will be watching.
