We, The "Mean" People

From the mouth of babes....

A girl from Malden asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in New Hampshire about the signs outside “saying mean things” about his health care proposal.
Eleven-year-old Julia Hall asked: “How do kids know what is true, and why do people want a new system that can — that help more of us?”

Why are we so mean? We should be nice to President Obama and support his pie-in-the-sky health plan. We are just major MEANIES! We should just shut up and let this country sink into a socialist soup. If we were NICE, that is what we would do! Now, if we were REALLY nice, we would have our Moms make major contributions to Obama's campaign and take you Easter Egg hunting on the White House lawn!

I don't know about the rest of you, but the second I heard that question, I knew she was a obvious plant. It made my stomach lurch and I had to switch the channel. What a complete farce that was! Everyone in that audience were begging to lay their palm leaves down in front of him.

Funny how all the other town hall meetings have been filled with angry Meanies like us; but, this one, had so much dripping, sweet love for the Pres that I'm surprised people didn't stick to the floor. Ugh.

Oooooh. Shiny

"Hi there, I'd like to buy a brand new BMW."
"Ok, what's your credit history?"
"Well...ummmm...I have a history of overspending, mismanagement of money, and robbing Peter to pay Paul."
"Uhhh...ok. Any savings?"
"Well, not really. I'm in major debt actually."
"Hmmm. Do you have a job?"
"Yes, but, I'm always asking the bosses for major advances with little or no productive results. And the money I was supposed to invest in the company's future....well, it kinda of sorta of....disappeared. So....how about that BMW?"
"Right away Sir!"

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Why would anyone lend money to a man who can't manage money, is way into debt, and notoriously terrible at his job?

But it's happening. We are "lending" (or more like: they are "STEALING") money to the government for this huge health care reform bill. This bill is such a hot potato, riddled with flaws, unclear wording, and $$$. This is something else they want to push through the back door before we can see what the heck we are getting. Something else that Joe Biden can say "doh!" about 6 months down the road. "We didn't know....we didn't understand....we thought this would be good enough!" (Oh and by the way, get ready for the new taxes we told you you'd never get. Oopsie!!)

They want that new car. It's so shiny. It will be the feather in their cap. They' ll buy it without even looking under the hood. Who cares if it runs well or we can't afford it?
