Michelle Obama, her two daughters, her mother, and two nephews have been visiting South Africa for the past week on an official government visit.
COMMENTS:
Good for Michelle, having a vacation at the taxpayer’s expense. Meanwhile, the nation is getting closer and closer to its current debt ceiling. What further commentary is necessary?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What’s going on with Gaddafi? Is he leaving or not? (Harley ~ Boseman, MT)
A. The Libyan government is trying to persuade everyone that it should hold a vote to determine whether or not the citizens want him to go. His opponents are not happy about it, but it’s their country and I believe that a fairly conducted vote should be a viable option. Many analysts say Gaddafi and his family have no intention of relinquishing power, but that he is holding out the possibility of a deal to try to widen cracks in the alliance against him. Maybe Obama should fly over there and have a beer with him?
Q. If we get out of Afghanistan, will Al Qaeda take over again? (Patsy ~ Chester, CA)
A. Al Qaeda and the Taliban have been in bed together for a long time. After Russia left Afghanistan, the Taliban was back in control again almost within hours. The Taliban has taken over one of the provinces and we were at one time poised to go in there and clean house, but that option now appears to be off the table with troop reductions imminent. So, if we leave I believe the Taliban will be back in charge of Afghanistan in a heartbeat, and Al Qaeda will be right behind them. This is what happens, however, when you get into a war that you do not intend to win.
Q. I heard someplace that Hillary Clinton may resign. Is she going to go ahead and run against Obama? (Myrtle ~ Orem, UT)
A. That is a good possibility. Right now, the rumble is that she wants to resign so she can take over the World Bank. If that were to happen, it would be a significant step toward bringing the United States under European economic and social influence; in fact, it sounds like a play out of George Soros’s book. But, that story could just be a cover for her resignation and she could actually be preparing to take Obama on. If that happens, you can kiss Obama goodbye and the Republicans will have a very tough time in 2012. Whatever it is, what George wants, George gets.
