The very first part of this month, a beautiful, intelligent, and usually insightful young friend posted a "Worst President Ever" sign, with currency.
I was mortified. I amassed statistics to show the ruination of our economy, from Reagan, Bush, and Bush again, noting the late years of the Clinton Administration, where a Democratic Congress and President worked to not only balance the Budget, but began to pay down the debt.
I ended with statistics enough to bore the most dedicated, stat-loving reader, and declined to collate them. If you care to review what your Presidents have done with Our Budget since President Carter, visit the US Treasury website at www.treasurydirect.gov/ . One item not to miss: When Bush 43 took office, the interest paid for assuming a portion of our National Debt was 6.594%. When he finally (I had doubts he would) left office, the interest paid to investors was 3.811%
Not only was the debt effectively doubled in those eight horrific years, from $5.73 trillion to $10.63 trillion, the incentive for the private sector to reduce it was cut in half.
Too much stats? One more set, please: when Reagan, The Antichrist, the 5th Face on Mt. Rushmore, took office, the debt was $997 billions. After 12 years of Reaganomics, the debt was $4.19 trillion.


Hope you waded through this enough to be amazed, as I was.
If not, by all means visit the US Treasury website and sort it out for yourself.


My sister, who is much (100+X) more in touch with young people than I, pointed out the young are particularly disenfranchised.
How could anyone who endured The Reign of Idiocy that began 1/20/01, when Reagan and the Stooge Bush 41 - appointed Justices named the Stooge Scion Ruler Without a Clue, not be disenchanted?
But to blame President Obama for this shitstorm is both myopic and moronic.
Now you know where Republicans come from.



Here's a heartfelt suggestion. Anyone who doesn't agree with the President and his policies and accomplishments, who do not consider him the First true Leader in the White House since John F. Kennedy, who are concerned with what you suspect is the President's "Real Agenda", please do this: take off your tin-foil hat, turn off the shitstream that is AM talk radio, and, for the love of all that's holy, turn FOX "news" the fuck off.
Think about it for a day or two, then send me what in your heart of hearts are any valid concerns about Your President.
DO NOT mention benefits for our poor. More stats: 13% - 17% of Americans are living below the poverty line. 40% fall under the line at some time during any 10 years.
These numbers are absolutely astounding, and emphasize beyond all doubt the inability of the Nation's poorest to "help themselves".
So many people in poverty are a shitstain on this, the richest in the world, Nation's soul. You got a solution that doesn't involve Federal Monies? No, you don't.
Reagan's "Trickle-Down" economics only widened the massive gap between rich and poor. (See "Federal Debt", above.)
Also, nothing from the "Zygote is Viable" idiots, please. You fucking ignorant bastards have ruined countless lives, and driven even more into a lifetime of poverty and need by forcing your half-shit morals on others.
Please. Find a rock and crawl back under it. Bake in the sun. Freeze in the ice. Either is better than you wasting more air and resources, destroying even more opportunity.
So help me. If you have a real reason to dislike President Obama's vision of an America for Americans, tell me.
If you are one of the 6.7+ billion who don't read this stuff, or would never admit it to anydamnone, I'll post the same question to my FaceBook directly.



The phograph shows hoe the Bureau of Land Management "rounds uo" wild horses. They drive them for up to 20 miles over the roughest land, into pens. It's a wonder only eighteen (or more) died in the most recent attacks on our netional heretaige. You have every right to be totally pissed.

Saw something Sunday I've never seen before. Know that doesn't mean it doesn't happen all the time. A Great Blue Heron was perched on a bridge rail over a ditch, facing away from the water.
Of course it flew as I passed.
That always makes me so sad, to disturb a being more beautiful, wonderful, and meaningful than some dud in his rusted out pickup.
