I read an interesting article on Pres. Obama and comments he made about Las Vegas. Undeniably upset was Congresswoman Shelley Berkley: “Enough is enough!” Democratic Congresswoman Shelley Berkley said in a statement. “President Obama needs to stop picking on Las Vegas and he needs to let Americans decide for themselves how and where to spend their hard-earned vacation dollars.”

Interesting statement Congresswoman, a statement that I actually agree with 100%. Wouldn’t it be nice if you and your kind in the Congress actually let the people make that decision on all of their hard earned dollars? Don’t you think the American people would get a warm and fuzzy feeling if our representatives actually followed through with what they promised us during the election cycle……. and not used our money for their European Trip, stimulus that has been ineffective, and unable to create job 1??

Here is an interesting cartoon from 1948.

It has always intrigued me how the mind works, more importantly, the thought process that goes into actual decision making. A man, who will remain anonymous, we’ll call him Pres. “O”, has just committed $2,000,000,000 (that’s billion) to a Brazilian owned company for the purposes or oil exploration. This, mind you, is a preliminary commitment, that could possibly increase. Seems innocuous enough, no? The only problem is, this anonymous person,  Pres ”O”, won’t allow US companies to explore in our own back yard. Is it not a worthwhile investment in America if we allow US companies to explore? It does not cost the taxpayers anything, we will be making money off the leases we provide these companies. Pres “O” seems to think that drilling in our own backyard, will only escalate our dependency on fossil fuels, which is bad…..Very Bad……. Yet, he allows a loan with our money to a foreign company to do the same. I am really speechless, “I am without speech” to quote the famous George Costanza. The mockery he is making of this country is just astounding. What am I missing here?

I am constantly amazed at people that defend Pres. Obama as if he is the second coming.
