Random Political Thoughts

     Here we are sixteen months from the next Presidential election and the press is all ready to pick the contestants and start the general campaigning.  This is only encouraged by a President who doesn't do much besides campaign.

President Obama and Former Representative Anthony Wiener D-NY

     I found it laughable that he was raffling, auctioning, or otherwise not soliciting $10, $5, and in the end $3 donations for an opportunity to go to the White House and have lunch with himself and the Vice President.  He couldn't really be raffling, or auctioning or having a lottery with the donations because that would violate state and interstate gaming laws.  So really you didn't need to send any money because it wouldn't improve your chances of winning, but who knew?

     On the Republican side we have numerous candidates running.  Several really haven't stopped since they lost their last try, and at least a couple appear to be in it to boost their book sales.   But it is early and the MainStream Media (The new code words for those pinko liberal news networks i.e. anyone but Fox (unless they ask stupid questions like "Are you a flake" and then they too are pinko-liberal MSM)), hasn't really picked who they want to win so they can tear them apart.

      So here we are with all these candidates having debates that no one really cares about talking about those important issues like how the President and Democrats have screwed up everything and they are just the man or woman to fix it.
     Then we have the negotiations on the National Debt and what has to represent the biggest "I'm just here for the free food," pass the buck, statement of this administration.  After a hard day of talking he comes out and says those leaders in the House and Senate have to lead, leaders lead and those guys in the House and Senate have to roll up their sleeves and get it done (on raising the debt ceiling).  So essentially his leadership style is based on Larry the Cable Guy!  Way to go Mr. President!  So exactly what is your role in Government?  Oh ya, you got UBL...
     Finally on a high note, while the Vice President, Mr. Biden, was out in Las Vegas telling the union leadership that the President and he were there men, and soliciting their support.  The rumors start about his being replaced by Andrew Cuomo.  What's a VP supposed to do?  He leaves town for one little trip to Sin City (a city the President said we should stop visiting) and all the sudden they want to replace him?  The injustice of it all!
