“News this week of the first departure of a Cabinet secretary from the Obama administration comes amid a wide-ranging effort under the new chief of staff, William M. Daley, to repair badly frayed relations between the White House and the Cabinet.”

In another quote, Daley said he’s heard Cabinet members’ complaints. “You hear the same thing: ‘I don’t think we’re used well. I don’t think we’re consulted enough,’ ”

So it keeps stacking up. He’s a go-it-alone president, do his own thing dictator president. One who decides without the help of the Supreme Court what’s constitutional and what’s not, as in deciding not to enforce the defense of marriage act. And we’re talking about a law passed by Congress and signed by Democrat Bill Clinton.

The would-be-dictator president rolls on until the steam roller hits a wall, then backs off – briefly – until he figures a way around it.

No wonder Patriots have always realized that government is the problem. And not only the problem, but in many ways the worst enemy the American people have.

As Thomas Paine put it, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil” –The Rights of Man (1792)

via White House moving to repair troubled relationship with Cabinet.

What we have is good news and bad news.  First the good news…it seems that all across the country (with the exception of California) Americans began to realize that the “hope and change” that was being implemented by the Obama administration, was not what they had voted for:  this seemingly steady march toward Euro-socialism is not what made America great.  Socialism has never worked… anywhere at any time.  Free enterprise and personal accountability separated the United States of America from everyone else and the ingenuity and creative power of the people who knew they had a chance to succeed or fail kept the flame glowing.  No one was promised a safety net and Americans accepted the challenge and thrived.

As has been pointed out over and over again this shift in power of more than 60 seats in the House of Representatives is the largest move since 1938.  Why is this important?  Because the HR is the ONLY branch of government that has to stand up to scrutiny and approval every two years… and this year the citizens said loud and clear that their representatives had not been doing the will of the people.  To paraphrase something I read from and Iowan… it’s “We the People”… not… ”We the Congress.”  Arrogance and condescension is being exposed and replaced.

Now… will the new Republican majority do any better?  Time will tell… and if they don’t respond to the will of the people in two years a new group will be given a chance.  I don’t think that America is again going to lapse back into the coma and lack of attention that brought an unprepared and extremist teleprompter reader into the most powerful office in the world. Accountability is the new watch word.

The other good news is that the people of central Florida rose up and overwhelmingly got rid of the vile and vitriolic knucklehead, Alan Grayson.  Arrogant doesn’t begin to describe his total disregard for truth and civility… I’m not sure what word would describe his embarrassing campaign that, apparently, figured that all central Floridians were stupid and gullible… not so, huh Alan!

Now for the bad news… Harry Reid will be back as Senate Majority Leader and is still as misguided as he has been for the last two years.  Also…Barney Frank is back, but luckily this time he will not be chairman of anything and hopefully will not be able to lead us down the road to financial ruin as has been the case for the last four years.

Also, I guess the people of California were too engrossed in whether to legalize pot to really look at the state of their state and elected Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown.  Unbelievable!  Two tired and worn out free spending liberals leading the weak and clueless.  We can all just wait for the cry to Washington to bail them out.

So there we have it…a chance for a small step back to sanity.  The liberals still control two thirds of the government…but, we can only hope…and prepare for 2012.

Another question at’s botherin me. Anybody ou’tair got any idea why we call iss a democracy, when one judge kin vote down millions uv people? Kin anybody figger out how we call it three equal branches uv gummint when one branch kin overrule the other two an ebm the fokes whut elected the other two, but we don’t git to elect the one at overrules everbody? Don’tat make a fedral judge sumpm like a emperor, or at least a king?

Yeh, I know one judge kin be overruled by five others, cause ‘ey happm t’be a majority uv the Supreme Court. But still at’s only five fokes. An back when ‘ey taught school children about stuff like at, ‘ey said the three  branches uv gummint wuz equal. Fur as I kin tell, at’s false teachin. Either that or gummint’s doin’ it all wrong. An ‘ey ain’t never spose t’be wrong are thay? Least nobody upair ever admits it.

Whut brangs it up is a judge in California jist overruled the majority of the people uv California an said ‘ey cain’t keep gay fokes frum gittin married. Now iss ain’t no attempt t’figger out whether Gays deserve g’git married. Bubba ain’tat smart.

Some fokes back home use ta say bein gay wuz a sin, an at the Bible says so, but since I ain’t never read the whole Bible I ain’t in much uv a position t’prophesy. So thair ain’t gone be no judgement here on the merits or demerits uv gay marriage. I’m jist askin whether it’s right fer one dude t’decide over millions whether sumpm’s right er wrong. An if so, how kin at be a majority rules situation? An ain’tat whut a democracy is?

Yeh, dummy. I know the forefathers set up the judge part. But since the big daddies whut set this all up also said the people have the right to abolish it, don’tay have the right t’abolish any part uv it?

Ole Andrew Jackson, at good ole boy frum Tennessee whut fought wars, became the hero uv New Orleans an took a turn as president, use’ta say the court makes a decision, let’um enforce it. Y’see, he believed in equal branches uv gummint. Not one branch at’s the boss uv’em all.

An ain’tat about whut Obama wuz sayin’ when he insulted the Supreme Court in front uv everbody over a decision he didn’ agree with? Did it right thair when he had’em all together fer his State Of The Union speech, an with the whole country watchin on TV!

I thank I’m gonna take iss up with my friend Junior. He’s got a lotta militia connections. An since the second amendment says a well-trained militia is necessary, an at they kin carry guns an all, maybe they got sumpm t’say about it.

I jist hope ‘ey don’t start pullin’em guns an startin on abolishin gummint right away, cause I ain’t had my vacation yet. An’ I shore don’t wanna git called back t’comment on no gummint takeover.

We all jist gotta remember whu’tat ole boy Thomas Paine said back air in 1792, when fathers wuz first bein promoted t’forefathers. “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil” –The Rights of Man (1792)

The Obama administration has adopted a tougher tone with China in recent weeks. Duhh! how many times have we heared at in recent years? Ain’tat kinda like gittin tough with y’banker? Y’talk about it, fluster about it, but since he might stop lendin, you stop before he stops.

The House ethics committee charged Rep. Charles B. Rangel with 13 separate violations of House rules Thursday, saying his various financial dealings broke the “public trust.” Broken? Duhh! Anybody remember when it wuz all in one piece?

New York is “the Big Apple” and Chicago “the Windy City,” but unless the earnest and obvious “Nation’s Capital” is your idea of a cool handle, Washington and its environs have never gotten very far in the civic nickname game. Now jist who made mud outta the name Washinton? Could it be the politicians who sling s’much uv it? Duhh!

Hundreds of opponents of Arizona’s new immigration law swarmed the streets of downtown Phoenix Thursday, confronting police in riot gear as the state’s governor filed an urgent appeal of a judge’s ruling that prevented key portions of the law from taking effect. Ain’tat the way it’s done? Have a demonstration? Carry some signs and git the TV cameras ou’tair? Less all git a cause up. Don’t matter whut it is. The marchin an gittin on TV is whut counts.

Republicans continue Senate filibuster of small-business bill. An right after tryin’ t’kill added unemployment benefits.  Duhh. First it wuz foot in mouth disease, now the Repubs have graduated to shoot in foot disease. Ain’tat whut ye call snatchin defeat out uv the claws uv victry jist in time t’lose the elections?

A record heat wave in Russia is felt in such ways as smoky peat fires around Moscow and dying trout at a fish farm. Whur are you, Al Gore? Ain’tat a sign uv yore Global Warmin’ thang? Are ye too busy with yore new life uv freedom frum Tipper?

An Finely: There may be no tar balls in Boise, but it figures large in the suits against BP as lawyers meet there to decide where the cases should be heard. Mannn. Lawyers salifatin’ over BP? Y’couldn git’tat many buzzards circlin a heard a’dead elephants. Duhh.

Like at ole boy Siggy said jist before he invented the slip, “…we men… find reality generally quite unsatisfactory” – Sigmund Freud, Psychoanalysis (1910)

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)

But wait! Thairs more! The problems w’that new iPhone might be over. Apple is holdin’ a news conference t’day t’tell us all about it. Now thair’s the biggie we all been waitin fer. But dontchy jist hope air’s a little wiggle room left? Thair’s still comfort in at main feature uv bein’ able t’ have a great excuse not t’take a call y’don’t wont. “Sorry, it jist dropped out. Got a iPhone, y’know.”

But courage, people. AT&T will probly still give everbody lotsa dropouts. An’ it looks like the big T is gonna be aroun fer a while. At contract t’ provide dropouts fer the iPhone goes on ’til sometime in 2012. Says so in a bunch’a papers some lawyers dug up cause ‘ey’re suin’ Apple. So all you dreamers whut’s been thankin you wuz gon’ git a sleek new I with Verizon can go on ’boutchy bidness with at dull ole Blackberry.

But wait agin. Did somebody say at cap on the Gulf gusher might hafta be taken off? An why’s at? So BP can git the oil flowin’ agin? Bu’tiss time capture it an’ sell it. WELL, at’s purfeckly understandable. ‘Ey went ta all at trubble an expense t’ dig it, ‘ey oughtta be able t’enjoy it. An make some’a that money back at they’re payin out t’the Gulf people at lost everthang. After all, ‘ey only took in 291 billion last year. Shorely y’all don’t thank at’s a lot. Everbody’s faverit neighborhood store, Walmart, took in over 400 billion. Now at’s a right smart fer a little store frum a backward state like Arkansas.

Now, fore we go, we gotta tell ye the Vatican is gittin’ tough with priests at sexually abuse little boys. Ey’ve put it right up air with makin’ priests outta women. Now at shows real guts, dontchy thank? At’ll shore be enough t’make a gay priest shiver ever time he sees a little boy sashayin’ down the aisle.

Like at ole boy Siggy said jist before he invented the slip, “…we men… find reality generally quite unsatisfactory” – Sigmund Freud, Psychoanalysis (1910)

Now tha’tem Russian spies have been swapped out fer some American ones, ain’t somebody gonna say whut’s  obvious here? That we got a bad deal on at swap? Hey, we give Russia 10, ‘ey give us 4? Who madedat deal? Shore ain’t no kinda deal fokes back home’d make. Duh–h

New question fer the next customer service person ye talk to: “Has your mama been arrested yet? Well y’probly’ll be talkin’ t’somebody who lives in India, an at’s whur ‘ey’re smart enough t’answer yore bank’s phone an’ tell’ye everthang y’wanna know about yore account, but dumb enough t’kill a member uv ‘ey’re famly at marries below they selves on the social ladder. It’s at ole caste system ‘ey still go by. Marry below yer caste, you disgrace the famly, yer mama kills ye. It’s all about honor. Jist recently happmed, accordin’ t’the New York Times. An at paper knows everthang, y’know.

Speakin’ uv the Times, have ‘ey got sumpm aginst gay people? Y’shore wooden thank so, their bein so liberal an all, but jist look a’tiss headline: “Basis of Ruling on Gay Unions Stirs Debate.” Now would somebody please tell me whut’s wrong with gays havin ‘ey’re own union? Fie on you, NYT! Yore liberal readers ain’t gonna tolerate yore aspersions on ‘ey’re kind.

An’ how ‘bou’tiss headline: “With Gloves Off, Obama Stumps for Reid.” First uv all, I ain’t never seen him with gloves on, an if he had’em on would he tak’em off in Las Vegas? Ain’t he heard about how everthang stays in Vegas? An wooden he be scared dat he’d git his hands dirty with all at filthy money ‘ey have thair? Oh, dumb on me! I fergit. He wuz air t’raise some’a that filthy lucre fer his friend Harry. An in politics it’s purfeckly OK t’putcher hands on filthy money. It’s whu’tay call a prerequisite (had t’look at’n up) t’bein’ a politician.

An at, fokes brings us oncet agin t’time fer Siggy. You will remember, of course, at back in the days when he invented his famous slip, he also come out wi’these right sageful words: “…we men… find reality generally quite unsatisfactory” – Sigmund Freud, Psychoanalysis (1910)

Well! Off this light stuff an on t’some fightin. After all at’s whut makes th’world go round. ‘Member at ole boy Hugo Chavez? He’s a president, y’know, an presidents is awful powrful. He took over all the oil cumpnies in Venezuela an put his gummint cronies t’runnin’em a long time ago.

Turns out his oil cumpny ain’t doin’ so good distributin chickens an powdered milk, which of course made perfect sense fer a gummint run oil cumpny t’do. After all the gummint can do anythang better, ‘member. Problem is ‘ey been lettin’ all at stuff lay aroun s’long the chickens been rottin’ an smellin an the babies ain’t gittin no milk.

People might be able t’put up with at, but now Hugo Baby has jist gone TOO far. He’s threaten’in t’take over whut? BEER! Now he’s done it! The people are risin’ up. The workers are blockin the gates. Oil an chickens an powdered milk might be one thang, but don’t mess with m’beer, boy. Y’got a fight on y’hands now! The worker people are gonna block at deal  ‘ey say. An ‘ey are! Hooray fer bustin’ up the beer takeover! At’s a fight worth fightin’ ANY day!

But deep down, don’t we know air’s sumpm wrong thair somewhere? Jis thank about it. Presidents is always fightin’ fer workers, an here’s workers fightin’ aginst a president? Don’tay know whuts good fer’em? Why, the worker people in America would never git mad at our president. Everbody knows how he fights fer us ever day. Like standin out thair on at dirty beach in ‘is shiny shoes an white shirt riskin gittin ‘is Sunday go t’meetin clothes dirty. An all cause he’s fightin’ fer us? How much fightier could he git? At’s whut makes it s’hard t’understand why anybody could git upset that a president is takin’ over sumpm.

Why, our DaddyO fights fer us ever day in other ways too. Like he went ahead an appointed a Harvard dude name uv Donald Berwick t’run our health care an did it while congress wudn’ lookin. They wuz off fer the July 4th holidays an he knowed they wudn’ likin his choice, so always fightin fer us, he went ahead an’ sneaked iss dude inta the job. An iss new Czar blieves in redistributin the wealth by the way he runs health care. At means all you pore people are gonna git all the money of all the rich people. An the gummint ain’t gon take a dime in commission f’arrangin all at fer you.

I thank he also has a bridge he’d like t’sell us fer a right fair price. Ain’tat nice a’him?

Like at ole boy Thomas Paine said back air in 1792, when fathers wuz first bein promoted t’forefathers. “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil” –The Rights of Man (1792)

Well, lessee now. The NYTimes says, “…after weeks of intense lobbying and months of debate, Congress in the end stopped short of prohibiting some of the practices that led to the crisis two years ago, betting instead that a newly empowered regulatory regime can rein in the big financial players without shackling the markets and drying up the flow of credit to businesses.” (I specially like at lobbyin part, don’tchu?)

But hang on’air! It’s a bet? Wuzn it bad bets on crazy ways’a them gamblin with our money whut got us i’niss mess t’begin with? I thank I ‘member everbody in Washinton blamin Wall Street, an Wall Street blamin’ Washinton. At’s a good fight t’watch, bu’tchy mean ‘ey passed the biggest money law since the depression – at’s whut Obama the DaddyO called it – an it’s sposed t’fix everthang, but it don’t find out who dunnit an don’t fix nuthin? Jis places a bet that bureaucrats’ll gitit handled later?

Come on fokes. I did’n fall off no turnip truck yestiddy an’ I bet you did’n neither. Could I git a big duh? All together now, fokes. DUH––UHHH!

Course ‘ey say all the cost uv doin’ everthang at new law stirs up is gone be paid by the big fokes on Wall Sreet an other assorted banks an’ credit card outfits. Huh? Could at be why our credit card interest an late fees an over-draft fees are already goin’ up? Could at mean us reglar people’s the ones ats gonna pay fer it all? Nah! ‘Em big fokes fightin’ fer us in Washinton wouldn’ do such a thing to us little fokes, would’ey?

But wait. I found out that them big bank stocks shot up in price right smartly over this thang! Why would Wall Street celebrate like at if they’s the ones at got screwed? Could it be they’s the ones still in control? Could it be they know who’s gonna pay? An it ain’t them? It’s us? Agin?

Like at ole boy Thomas Paine said back air in 1792, when fathers wuz first bein promoted t’forefathers. “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil” –The Rights of Man (1792).
But whut’id he know? We’re a whole lot smarter now. Ain’t we?

Wait a minute. Did somebody down thair say IN A YEAR OR TWO!? WHUT ARE WE SPOSE T’DO FER A LIVIN’ BETWEEN NOW’N THEN? DUH–H, DaddyO. Whutchu talkin’ bout? Does yore talkin’ machine maybe need some maintenance?

But in case you fokes ain’t satisfied with at preachment, DaddyO’s gonna preach one’a his famous speechs at it tonight. An this one’s gonna be frum the Oval Office. Zow! FRUM THE OVAL OFFICE. At’s only fer serious stuff. So now, 50-some days after this greasy stuff started, DaddyO’s gittin serious. Look out oily waters. You’ve met yore match now.

Besides at, Congress is gonna crank up some BP people at their hearin’s. An at’s gone happm today! NO MORE DELAY, fokes.

An’ with all at goin’ on, the New York Times has the gall t’print stuff like they might be a lack of organization concernin anything about the gusher in the gulf problem. Ey’re sayin’ stuff like “From the beginning, the effort has been bedeviled by a lack of preparation, organization, urgency and clear lines of authority among federal, state and local officials, as well as BP.” Ye thank ‘ey came up with at profound pronouncement all by they selves?

Now really, NYT. Don’tchy remember Obama sayin’ he’s engaged an’ concerned an’ doin’ everthang he can? Ain’tat enough fer ye?

An’ you fokes down air on the Gulf. Cain’t you be satisfied with anything? DaddyO’s talkin, Congress is hearin, your beaches will be made whole in a year or two. At’s a pronouncement by DaddyO. Whut more could ye ask? D’you really spect some kinda organization out of the gummint? Duh––h.

Like at ole boy Thomas Paine said, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil” The Rights of Man (1792)
