Once again, Congress and the President have displayed an
innate ability to get down to the wire on a matter of huge import to the
country. Just about the time that Obama
was heading for Andrews AFB to get on Air Force One and jaunt off for a Hawaiian
vacation, he challenged Congress to come back the day after Christmas and keep
on trying to reach a solution.
COMMENTS:
Well, this whole “thing” about the “Fiscal Cliff” is a bunch
of malarkey to start off with. This all
should have been resolved last July and they’ve had six months since they
punted at that time to fix it. The issue is that Obama is demanding his way and
the Republicans don’t want to give it to him; they want compromise and Obama,
regardless of his proclamations to the contrary, doesn’t want to
compromise. So, it’s a Mexican
standoff. I prayed and prayed and prayed
before the election that the citizens would realize that this behavior can only
be resolved by removing everyone responsible from their jobs. We needed fresh faces in Washington starting
in January, Republican and Democrat alike.
But, we didn’t get it and we’re still in a fix. My issue is that we, you and I, are going to
end up on the short end of this stick and the politicians are going to skate on
and on and on. And, by the way, any President who would, under the circumstances, tell Congress to get back to work the day after Christmas is a downright bastard.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I’ve heard it said several times recently, “If the
Republicans had any smarts…” Well, why don’t the Republicans follow some of
these suggestions? (Iva ~ Vacaville, CA)
A. Because they do not, in fact, have any smarts. They have proven themselves beyond any
reasonable doubt over the course of this last election cycle to be as dumb as
posts.
Q. I just heard that Glenn Beck had some kind of a beef with
American Airlines? (Myrtle ~ Lynnwood,
WA)
A. He and his family were flying from New York City to
Dallas and were grossly mistreated. Other
passengers on the plane were treated courteously and respectfully, but Glenn
and family were not. It was obvious that
he was getting the brunt of liberalism dumped in his lap. A word to the wise: Unless you’re a left-wing
liberal, do not fly on American Airlines.
Q. What do you think will happen with Egypt? (George ~ Shasta City, CA)
A. It appears they will become an Islamic State, like Iran
and Syria. This is another fine example
of Obama’s lack of foreign policy expertise; but, we’re stuck with him. Maybe
John Kerry with his 16 Purple Hearts can improve the track record. Certainly, a man of his caliber could have done better with Benghazi.
