Yep, there you have it folks. Just as with with BEN-JEN, BRANGELINA, TOM-KAT and other pairings of names the media spin doctors weave together for the paparazzi to chase down, I’ve coined a name for the collaboration of Barack and his first mate, JOE BIDEN.
I knew it a week ago and that was when it came to me.
The names OBAMA/BIDEN don’t quite roll off the tongue as neatly as BIDEN/OBAMA but Barack is running for president. The world press will eventually go for OBIDEN because the idiocy of it plays into the minds of idiots.
What really cracks me up with this decision is OBAMA has consistently claimed to want a VP that would challenge him or his decisions. If that is the case, BIDEN will have to take over as president as OBAMA has never managed a supermarket. BIDEN has been in the senate since 1972, almost 40 years, and is one of the elder statesmen that takes new congressional rookies under their wing to show them the ins and out of their slacker job.
That in itself should scare people, congress needs term limitations for the same reason the president has them. Liberals (democrats) don’t care when the issue is raised as they will continuously vote the same guy in term after term. TED KENNEDY is a perfect example.
Here is the 2007 listing of the most liberal senators.
I am more than concerned as to what “CHANGE” entails and think about it.
In my humble opinion, OBAMA needs someone a bit more centered as “CHANGE” cannot be a free-for-all of social programs this country cannot afford.
I don’t know why politicians try and sugar coat the issue of taxes because they will be stellar within time. The income tax reform act does not realistically account for “the war” which continues to bleed our coffers and push the country closer to recession and inflation. We will soon be staring both in the face for the simple reason the Bush administration overspent as if the USA were Paris Hilton on vacation. Paris has rich parents, the USA does not. We are in the hole big time. Read this.
All of the financial experts in the world can’t erase the deficit nor explain how it is to be balanced. They can blow smoke up the asses of those that want but those us that have to live within a balanced budget know otherwise.
The federal government cannot fund research for renewable energy and turn that knowledge over to private companies that will make fortunes with that knowledge. It has been happening for years though no one points it out.
Correcting the economy and stemming the usage of oil is not the government’s responsibility. Something the government can do is quit spending money. The government can cut back the visibility of its services without cutting them. 12 managers in an office in the middle of Iowa is waste. 12 managers in an office anywhere is waste. Manager is a title given to too many civil employees – who does the actual work?
The price of fuel is not the government’s duty. If anything, it gets us into mock wars and causes our legislators to spend, spend and spend. Politicians can talk about it in their committees and other wasteful meetings but we live in a capitalist market and supply/demand are what drive the economy.
OBIDEN are the most liberal running mates in years and their “CHANGE” is not going to be the answer.
I am not advocating MCCAIN at all because he is too old and thinks 20th century revenge.
This country needs to relocate and focus our concerns on the 50 states of the nation. The economy would be easier to right if the powers that be had never blessed NAFTA or other free trade agreements that have come back to sting us in the ass. We need to manufacture on our own continent. Let’s make stuff here again. Here is a small list of clothing.
Something that drives me insane is the drug laws of the country and how we strive to shove our “ideals” up the ass of every other country of the world. Tobacco is legal and a huge source of tax revenues. The same can be said for alcohol. Anyone of legal age can buy a carton of Camel cigarettes and a half gallon of cheap vodka and smoke or drink themselves to death. It’s legal.
On the other hand, marijuana, grown as a plant as tobacco might be, is public enemy number one according to the DEA.
I equate it to the sight of a woman’s nipple or a man’s penis. Society will surely crumble if untethered breasts or penises are seen by someone on primetime television.
The funny thing is I think we have all seen breasts and the deadly nipple. Some, myself included, were nursed from birth on mama’s.
As far as the penis is concerned – my dog has one and I see it every day. It’s not like pulling down my pants and looking at my own but neither have shocked me into raving insanity.
A breast is a mammary gland that can be seen on any dog or cat. A cow has 4 huge dangling teats that are comparable in size to the average male penis. That is potentially mind damaging.
Maybe it’s the thought that nipples or a penis are somehow connected to SEX! and drives a spike through the hearts of those that recoil. Add to that the last 40 years of liberal hedonism and the evolution of vulgar pornography – oh yeah, vulgar is the only word – and I can understand why some draw the line.
Marijuana, hemp, gets a bum rap as well as the fact that we all have bodies with sex organs. Is a breast truly a sexual organ? I have nipples and have never had to cover them for fear of driving someone insane.
I’ve read a lot over the years and it’s fascinating to know that HEMP is better than the corn farmers are prompted to grow in the Midwest for ethanol. I have known a lot of the facts for years but when realizing how much paper is produced in this country for our personal printers it amazes me why we don’t grow the plant like George Washington did. People were prompted to grow hemp in this country for various reasons such as fiber for linen or for making rope. One half acre of hemp plants is far more productive than corn or wood for paper or biofuel.
Think about the amount of money spent in the legal system prosecuting the evil marijuana. A 50 year old woman arrested with a pound of marijuana is likely to serve more time in a state prison than a rapist. Is that a kick in the head or what? Most want the rapist to report where he lives in your neighborhood. I don’t care where the guy with pot is unless I need some. Marijuana is a class 2 controlled substance – most surely surely deadly…NOT – and the courts pass down maximum prison terms that go into decades for growing, selling, possessing or – GASP! – SMOKING marijuana. Oh, the humanity!
The propaganda was bizarre and made good movies. Those of us who have smoked it know it not to be the evil substance the government associated with criminal Mexicans and Negros. Yep, the federal government had to devise another crime to chase after prohibition was repealed so they went after NARCOTICS they associated with those minorities. What a country.
A sensible move that OBIDEN might make would be a push for legalization and cultivation of the plant on this continent to help with the break in foreign energy dependence.
OBAMA said he inhaled several times – “that was the point”.
I suggest that everyone purchases marijuana with their stimulus checks.
I don’t trust a politician (especially a democrat) 55 or under who claims they never smoked a joint.
That person is a LIAR.
