ELECT A PRESIDENT TO HIS REAL JOB-THAT OF A PRETTY FACE!! POST 88

Hi,

Sorry to be absent so long but those of you who know me realize Christmas at our house is a big deal with an annual celebration for friends and family and ending with a private dinner on Epiphany or commonly called twelfth night. Not many even recognize Epiphany these days--more's the shame. On the twelfth day (OR 3 KING'S DAY) we begin the final phase of "deco-done". It was a good holiday in spite of all America's myriad problems

So what about Iowa and the outcome? Psshwah! Only about 125,000 voted out of a Million +OR- Republicans so it proves that those who voted liked the two leaders best. Not the big deal that the TV made of it. And remember in spite of all the control exerted by top Republicans and the Press, when Barry Goldwater ran, he and his supporters bombarded the CONVENTION and turned everything upside down!!!!!!!! STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN IN POLITICS and some of them are acutely helpful!

So, economically, how are we doing???? WHO THE DEVIL KNOWS?????????? I read, I research, I explore and the best I can come up with is that the reality lies somewhere between OBAMA, THE CONGRESS, THE PRESS and THE PUBLIC. IT WAS A GOOD HOLIDAY FOR RETAILERS AND THEY BLESS ALL OF YOU!!!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN????? Well, it could mean as the press says that recovery is at hand; or as Obama says, "I've made magic"; or as the Congress says, "We've kept the spending in line. OR IT COULD MEAN THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SAID: THE HELL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!LET'S SPEND WHILE WE CAN BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY!!!!!!!

I'm GUESSING THE LATTER BUT IT'S JUST A GUESS. We can't support the kind of debt forecast for 2012 and forward without a lot of what we used to call FINAGLING. YOU KNOW THE KIND--YOU ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL; THEN YOU ROB PAUL TO PAY SAM; THEN YOU ROB SAM TO PAY ETC. ETC. ETC. THE OUTCOME????????????MORE MASSIVE DEBT!!!!!!!!!!

One OF THE EMAILS I RECEIVED AND IN TURN FORWARDED really nailed it. It showed subtracting ALL OF THE WEALTH IN ALL OF AMERICA (INCLUDING THE MONSTROUS AMOUNTS SPENT ON THINGS LIKE SPORTS) AND PICKING THE POCKETS OF THE WEALTHY AND THE CORPORATIONS DRY FOR PAYING DOWN THE CURRENT NATIONAL DEBT. GUESS WHAT????????? SCRAPING THE Barrel AND THEN WIPING IT WITH A PAPER TOWEL OF ALL LOOSE CASH WE COULD BARELY AFFORD TO PAY THE DEBT FOR TWELVE MONTHS--THAT'S ONE YEAR, FOLKS. After picking everyone's pockets down to the lint including your kid's or grandkid' allowance, there would be nothing left for the next year's debt!!!!!!!!!!! NADA! ZILCH! ZERO COIN!

SO WHAT TO DO????????? Well, it seems obvious that we have to roll back the hands of time!!!!!! I saw an article the other day that scientists AT Cornell had discovered a way to not only interfere with time but actually blot out events so completely that NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW THEY HAPPENED!!!!!! NOW THAT'S A HOT IDEA FOR THE ECONOMY!!!!!!! BLOT IT OUT AND A FEW POLITICIANS WITH IT SO WE NEVER KNOW DEBT HAPPENED!!!!!!! By the way the SCIENCE IS NO JOKE--only the usefulness of it.

WE NEED TO ELECT SOME MORE NEW CONGRESSMEN!!!!!!!! DON'T GROAN!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE KEPT THE OVER THE TOP SPENDING IN 2011 BY OBAMA AND HIS FINANCIAL GENIUSES TO A MINIMUM. If we can elect A MORE REPRESENTATIVE SENATE TO MATCH THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IT WILL GO A LONG WAY TO SECURING AMERICA'S FUTURE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK. There is a great fiscal need for pull back on all SPENDING FRONTS AND IT CAN BE DONE with an educated and dedicated FISCAL POLICY!!!!!!!!! AND A CONGRESS--THAT IS IN BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE COMPRISED OF POLITICIANS WHO PUT PRIVATE INTEREST ASIDE TO SAVE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

NOW DON'T BE WOOED BY THE PROGRESSIVES AMONG US CHANTING it's the Congress' fault and we need to do away with it. WOULDN'T OUR ENEMIES LOVE THAT??????? You may not like the obsfurcations of the Congress and their methods of DELAY BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF FISCAL REALITY AND THE CHECKS AND BALANCES SET OUT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

CONGRESS SHOULD BE LIKE THE MEDICINE WE HAVE TO TAKE TO GET WELL!!!!!!WE HATE THE TASTE, THE COST AND THE SIDE EFFECTS, BUT IT'S NECESSARY TO OUR GETTING WELL AND STAYING ALIVE!!!!!!!

DON'T LET ANYONE CON YOU INTO THINKING OUR COUNTRY WILL BE STRONGER WITHOUT A CONGRESS. IT WILL BE FAR WEAKER!!!!!!!!!! AND since the President controls the appointments to the Supreme Court, the people WOULD LOSE THEIR VOICE IN GOVERNMENT IN A VERY SHORT TIME!!!!!!!!!! CONGRESS-BASHING IS POPULAR BUT NOT NECESSARILY INTELLIGENT!!

Someone told me recently that we needed a parlimentary government like Britain. I wonder that we could have forgotten the ELITIST OR ROYAL MEMBERS YEAR AFTER YEAR SWORN INTO OFFICE for their advantage or the poverty and unfair criminal justice system the parliament protected that drove people like you and me to America's shores as Pilgrims.

LISTEN UP PILGRIM, unless you want to have to tread the boards of another land like they did, we need to keep OUR CONSITUTION IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. IT WAS WRITTEN TO PROVIDE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT STOP A DICTATORSHIP FROM FORMING AND IT'S BETTER THAN PARLIMENTARY GOVERNMENT BECAUSE CITIZENS ACTUALLY CAN MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE AT THE POLLS. Yes, we have a developed A GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM in both parties but it doesn't hold nearly the control of ENTRENCHED POLITICIANS THAT COME OUT OF THE PARLIMENTARY SYSTEM. LOOK UP THEIR TROUBLES OVER THE YEARS ON THE INTERNET. YOU'LL BE SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!! THINK WE"VE GOT TROUBLE. THEY ALREADY HAVE COMMUNISM UP FRONT AND OBVIOUS.

SO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE--THE CONGRESS--VERY SERIOUSLY. JUST CHANGE THE BRAND TO A BETTER QUALITY. THINK ABOUT ELECTING TO ACHIEVE BALANCE in both the house and senate and choose men with vision, talent and an economic understanding of what they are doing!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT????????? LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. IF WE HAVE A STRONG AND REPRESENTATIVE CONGRESS THAT SATISFIES OUR NEEDS AND OUTLOOK, THEN THE PRESIDENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A "PRETTY FACE"!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S REALLY ALL OUR CONSITUTION EVER INTENDED. A PRESIDANT should be a PRETTY FACE and who cares what color it is AS LONG AS IT TALKS THE TALK, WALKS THE WALK AND UPHOLDS THE IDEALS OF AMERICA. WAKE UP FOLKS. THAT'S THE JOB!!!!!!!NOTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING LESS!!!!!!!!!! PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO ELECTING CONGRESSMEN!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
