"Our time is now. If we carry the day and turn the tide, we can hope that as long as men speak of freedom and those who have protected it, they will remember us, and they will say, 'Here were the brave and here their place of honor.'" Ronald Reagan
Obama's "Health Care Summit" is history. Typically the leftist uber liberal media says that Obama came out on top and the right says the Republicans did the same.
Obama, the Magnificent, the Annointed one totally topped all previous performances in terms of Arrogance, Hubris and just downright rudeness. At least one Brit news outlet opined that Obama might deserve some sort of Academy Award -- had the entire mess not been so boring.
Question is: What exactly was accomplished? Well – not a hell of a lot!
The Republicans came out of it looking reasonable. Obama’s arrogant disdain glistened through his sarcastic rhetoric and by gosh Rude commentary.
A couple of sources indicated that Obama and the Democrats spoke for more than 230 minutes while the Republicans at the event were allowed to speak for only about 114 minutes. Of course the Great One (The Anointed One, the Obama) justified his own involvement with: 'I don't count my time because I'm the President'...
That was tacky, arrogant, crude and just plain despicable. My Momma woulda’ said: “Consider the Source Son…”
Now we await Congress. Will Obama really attempt reconciliation? We’ll find out together…
Obama is bound and determined to split the United States of America apart…
Our time is now.

I don't know when the revelation hit me -- that I really love this Country! I think the first inklings surfaced back in the late '60s when I was in the service.
I remember listening to acquaintances trashing our President(s) of the time (Johnson, then Nixon). And they would immediately equate that with their current hatred for the United States of America. I remember on occasion saying “Wait a minute… Don’t you really mean you dislike Johnson” (or Nixon) whoever they were railing about – “…don’t you mean you hate what the current policy about” (Pick a Policy and fill in the blank) “Is” or “was”…
Late ‘60s, early ‘70s they’d inevitably toke, pass the joint and say – “Na Mannnnn! It’s the Country, It’s the fuckin’ Establishment Mannnnn! It’s the U S A!”
Point: There was a lot of that running around back then, anarchists, people who thought everything should be free. Folks that didn’t have a job, didn’t want one and expected everything for nothing. That’s when I first heard “The best things in life are free – when you rip them off The Boo Zhwaw Zee…” (Francophiles please forgive -- bourgeois).
Barack Obama would have been ten or so at the time… And of course, as we know he was registered in a Catholic School in Indonesia until about 1970 (+-). Point here? Well little Barry was not raised like Abe or Grover, Ike or Jack, Dick, Jimmy etcetera.
Obama was not raised in an environment where kids were routinely taught that they lived in the Greatest Nation on the face of the Planet! Barry didn’t know that when the National Anthem was played you placed your right hand over your heart and listened reverently.
Little Barry’s formative years were spent in Indonesia. He does not think like an American.
I’m not a Birther – Obama’s creds are the Supreme Court’s problem, not mine. I don’t give a damn – he’s the President, so just Cowboy up, accept the fact, and drive this Anti American Marxist Socialist back to Chicago where he can help his ACORN buddies strain the ashes of their latest defeat.
Folks at the office used to say “Hey Arp, what do you Really Think?”
Well, if I ever update this space again, maybe I’ll let everybody in on my thought processes! “Bucket of Worms” ring a bell?

We live in the Greatest Country on the Planet!
We (Americans) are privileged to live in the greatest country on the face of Mother Earth. (To date, it's the best darned planet man owns.)
If I was Obama, I'd probably add "Now help me change it!" He said something similar to that in a campaign speech (at least once), 2008. Obama is quite one of the most duplicitous persons to ever hold a high level elective office in the United States of America. My friend SeminoleSteve might say something different. He is wise.
Regardless, Obama is an amazing human being -- by any standard.
But, right now, y'know -- we don't need amazing. We need a leader -- One of which we are most certainly, currently, lacking.

I vaguely recall going through the setup for this blog account back in the spring of '08... (Immediately forgot it was there)
Our lives (Helen's, mine) have changed so much since then that I'll probably have to invest some actual thought in order to decide what I really want to do when(if) I finally grow up...
I just bumped into this blog tonight -- thanks mostly to the birth of Google's "Buzz"...
Fascinating -- this Web that Al Gore and I have been privileged to watch the birth of... (I think 'of' is a preposition, right? -- therefore I just ended a sentence with a preposition!) (Is there a fine for that?) (Another thing -- I gotta figger out if this thing has a spell checker...)
