Grasping At Straws

grasping at straws

   1. To depend on something that is useless; to make a futile attempt at something. 

   2. Trying to find some way to succeed when nothing you choose is likely to work. 

   3. Trying to find reasons to feel hopeful about a bad situation.


Wow, that not only fits Obama, it also fits Obama supporters who are depending on 
something (or someone) that is useless. Obama is trying to find some way to succeed
when nothing he chooses is likely to work. And the dwindling number of Obama 
supporters are trying to find reasons to feel hopeful about a very, very bad situation.

Some of those followers around here keep throwing up charts that fudge the numbers
to make Obama look good. When, in fact, he has spent more in three years than
most presidents spend in eight years, and he has basically achieved nothing except
force Obamacare through against the will of the people, which is likely to haunt us
(debt wise) for years to come.

Oh, he has been successful at keeping the unemployment rate high. And he has
definitely succeeded at making it harder for businesses to succeed or want to hire
more people. Would you want to hire more people if you saw the waterfall up
ahead? 

America seems to be recovering somewhat IN SPITE of Obama's Socialistic 
dreams for America. He and his followers should realize by now that most 
Americans misunderstood what Obama meant by "fundamentally change America".
Oh my god, did they. The only way I want a presidential candidate to use the
word change is "change things back to the way they once were."

I want to go back to a time before sin was upheld by the Supreme Court (like
murdering unborn babies and homosexuality). 

I want to go back to a time that the president tried to help Americans and tried to 
get them working, not create agencies that were two goose steps away from being 
a Nazi SS team (think EPA) or by taking over companies and giving them to the 
Union of Socialist Workers. 

I want to go back to a time when there was freedom of speech instead of 
politically correct speech or "hate" speech. What a joke. When people start losing
in the arena of ideas, they start trying to MAKE you shut up, trying to control 
what you can say and when you can say it. Try mentioning Christmas as your
local government school. 

I want to go back to a time when government schools taught reading, writing, 
and arithmetic, and kids were not forced to pretend they are Muslims and recruited 
to become Muslims. Those are the ones becoming the domestic terrorists. Not the
guys that legally buy guns to protect themselves against the ever growing crime in 
this country.

I want to go back to a time when criminals were the bad guys. These days, it
is not that uncommon for the victim to become the bad guy once the Liberal
media gets through with them.

I want to go back to a time when the mainstream media, like the CBS, NBC, or
ABC evening news, reported the NEWS fairly, honestly, and thoroughly instead
of being a Liberal / Socialist / Democrat cheerleading team while trying to 
smear every Conservative / Republican that comes along.

I could go on and on, but you already know all this. We have all become wards
of the state whether we like it or not. Even Republicans are looking for the 
candidate that will offer them the most. If you listened to any of the Republican
debate in Florida last night, you heard the candidates lecturing each other on
promising things they cannot deliver and that they should not be promising 
anyway -- because WE ARE GOING BROKE.

Of course, Obama is doing it worst of all. It is like the dottering old codger who
still wears a tuxedo and top hat and pretends to be rich when he is dead broke.
And I love to hear the Obama followers as they grasp at straws and pretend
Obama "is not that much of a Socialist, but actually pretty close to center 
instead of being to the Left". What a crock. 

Where would we be if the Republicans had not taken back the house last Fall?
(Not that they are doing what they said they would do.) All I can say is, if
Obama is not that much of a Leftist Socialist, why do Democrats / Liberals /
Socialists give a flying fuck about him? That makes absolutely no sense.

But that reminds me of one more thing I want to go back to ... a time when
Republicans did what they said they would do (like Ronald Reagan) instead
of wimping out and doing what Liberals do. 

As someone once said, I suppose I and wish in one hand and ....
