Sorry, dumbass, it doesn't WORK like that-

I read a news blurb about Obama yesterday. The headline read
Obama Stops Wearing Flag Pin

I totally understand why he doesn't. I don't have a yellow "We support our troops" magnet on my car. I spent my magnet money making goody boxes to send to deployed people I know. (An Old Navy St. Paddy's Day shirt is a pretty good morale booster, ya know.) I sent goody boxes to other people's family members. That's a good use of my magnet money.

But as someone who actually wants to represent our country, doncha think Obama ought to reconsider?

The jaw-dropping part of the article was

"At one stop, he called for new restrictions on deployment of National Guard and Reserve troops along with an expansion of benefits for them and their families.

"I will not be a president who extends tours for our Guard units overseas while Americans are stranded on rooftops right here at home," Obama said."

OMG. OMG. It doesn't work like that.

For one thing, it would take at LEAST three days to bring troops home. And a bazillion dollars. If Nagin couldn't think to issue an evacuation order three days prior, he surely wouldn't have thought to request troops.

And that is the big sticking point. Since Guardsmen are a STATE asset, they have to be requested. Invited. Ushered in. Our Texas Guard waited, packed and ready, for their invitations.

For two days.

Enough with the designer labels, already.

Hillary Clinton was a governor's wife who worked for a law firm. Her husband was elected President. She served on a committee. First Ladies do not traditionally have actual political or diplomatic duties. She changed her residency to New York State and convinced them to elect her to the Senate. Now this junior senator is running for president. And has a decent shot.

You gotta be kidding me. When I'm sick, my dang doctor has more experience in his job than she does. It's like a student teacher taking over the Superintendent of School's position.

Gotta blame it on something...

Blame it on Hussein, yeah, yeah. I went looking for the lyrics of that song (a Milli Vanilli parody...oh, wait, Milli Vanilli WAS a parody), and found the only known airplay was in September of 1990, on the Doctor Demento show. But I know it was played more often than that, because I heard it on AFN Europe in 1990.

It took 15 years for us to find him and hand him over. We would have spared thousands if we found him in 1991; perhaps many would still be citizens, not victims. I am not at all sorry he's dead, not sorry his wicked sons are dead, and we need to keep an eye on the daughter. I think evil people should spare us all the trouble, and do themselves in, so we can skip the formalities and move on. That was one evil man.

And it bothers me that he's my father's age.
