Take the long term view. At’s spose t’be smart. Don’t worry bout whut’s goin on today. Tomorrow will be better, you jist wait. Ain’t it sumpm how sayin’s git top billin’ as bein’ smart? But thair’s too many takin’ the long term view t’splain away why they’re failin’ t’day.

Like all the people Obama has put outta work by not lettin’ anybody drill off shore while somebody checks safety of the rigs. But who’s checkin’ an’ whut’re thay checkin? Probly jist a blame gang somewhur doin’ sumpm t’give some political CYA fer any other blow-outs at might happm. Jist tell all ‘em people outta work t’take the long view. Everbody’ll feel better.

So at’s whu’tayre tellin’em. Airs iss dude at talks more than Obama takin’ care uv the BP money. Goes aroun’ braggin bout how he’s the law in the Gulf. He’s Czar Feinberg. A rich lawyer frum Boston. He sets air while people come in an beg fer their money t’stay alive while everthang ‘ey’ own an ever hope fer gits carried away by the oil muck.

When nobody gits enough t’solve ‘ey’re problems – an ‘ey never will – thair ain’t nobody t’blame. BP says it’s Feinberg’s problem. Obama says it’s Feinberg’s problem. An’ since nobody can fire Feinberg, it don’t matter whut anybody says about’im. Least uv all the fokes whut’s gittin a grease job done on ‘ey’re lives. But they’re spose t’take the long view. In a few years everthang’ll git back t’normal. DaddyO says at, so it must be true.

Then the Obama gang figgers suin’ Arizona an lettin illegals jist romp across the border, messin’ up the lives of American fokes who live air might cost some votes in November, but at’s OK. Cause it’s good in the long view. We’ll git more illegals, we’ll make’em citizens somewhair down the road an ‘ey’ll vote fer us. Maybe ebm before ‘ey git t’be citizens. At’s the long view.

And we guess at mus’ be the the whole idea of the whole gang in Congress. Don’t do nuthin. It’s all gonna work out in the long view. But ye say, ey’ve passed health care an finance reform. Passed whut? Thousands uv pages uv laws at nobody knows whut’s in, but splains at gummint agencies’ll git it all handled with regulations in the long view.

An’ we all know how regulations work, don’t we. Like, as in the IRS an all its regulations. Warehouses full uv’em. So full nobody knows whut all ‘ey say. Enough uv’em to grow a whole industry a’fokes sellin’ advice about’em, writin’ about’em, an worry’in over’em. Course ‘ey git by jist reglar fokes by givin’ out refunds like it wuz ‘ey’re own money. An’ the H&R Block bunch lives off uv “come on in, we’ll gitchy the best refund.” Nobody minds at it’s yer own money “ey’re gittin back fer ye, an the gummints kept it all iss time and ain’t paid ye no interest fer it. An’ ye had t’hire somebody t’ git it back fer ye, cause the regulations are so thick nobody can figger’em out.

But jist take the long view. Don’t worry, be happy. Look on the sunny side. Thair’s a brighter day tomorrow. Thair’s a million a’ them sayins t’make takin’ the long view the right view. An git outta doin’ anythang now.

It’s like at ole philospher David Hume said back air before we ebm knowed about oil, much less made our best oil discovery, which wuz it’s a great excuse fer startin a war, “It is never possible to deduce judgements of value from matters of fact” —Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1751)
