I Hope Obama Didn’t Sprain Himself Noticing the Tea Parties

Apparently, Obama finally noticed the tea parties at his 100th town hall meeting.  I hope he didn’t sprain himself.  I mean, having to keep up with all that day to day news, even with dedicated staff, might cause him some harm.  He could sprain his neck looking away from his teleprompter, after all.

As far as having a national conversation about problems his party may or may not have manufactured out of whole cloth, like that health care thing?  I suppose once he’s ruined it, he’ll be saying something along the lines of “at least we did something” as though that means anything.  I guarantee that when it comes to liberal “solutions”, doing nothing is a far best choice if it’s the only other one available. 

How can that be?  Well, let’s start with an example.  Say one day, I decide I don’t like something, so I paint myself purple and streak through rush hour traffic screaming “I’m a hippo!  I’m a hippo!”.  At that point, two things will be true:

1. I’m most assuredly doing something, and
2. It’s not going to end well for me.

This sums up the worth of liberal solutions, which are generally as effective but not nearly as humorous.  Hence my lack of regard for Obama and his dismissive attitude about tea parties and not spending.  Oh, the Democrats have done a lot, and none of it has been good.  As for Obama, his attempts to enact legislation can be summed up under one of three things:

1. Pandering to future voters
2. Payoffs to current supporters
3. Powergrabs for himself or his party.

So, take your condescention and pretense of solving problems and discuss it with your telepropter.  It will give you far more regard than I do.
