July 9, 2009 - Pelosi/Reid/O'Bama

NANCY PELOSI is the subject today. Why was she elected? She does not impress me as being the kind of person who should be occupying the Speaker of the House position.

It seems to me that Pelosi and Harry Reid are running things and O'Bama is the "front" man out in the public, saying one thing while they are doing something else. It is a fact that the Senators and Congressmen are not reading the large bills but voting along party lines. Does anybody think (for one moment) that the President read any of the bills? He claimed in his campaign that he would strike out all of the unnecessary earmarks. Has he done this once? No! It appears to me that the only ones who know everything that is in the bills are Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Can this be?

I don't claim to be the smartest person in the world but I think I could have done a better job than those two. Since we are in such dire straights with our economy, I would have only included projects that were ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to stimulate the economy and create jobs. There are more "silly" projects included in the bills that it makes me sick to know that our tax money is going to them. There are too many of these projects to list, like about 9,000. It is said that about 10,000 dead people received a stimulus check. Some mice in California will benefit from $60,000,000 dollars.

I know of some human beings in poverty stricken areas that could certainly benefit from the $60,000,000 more than the mice. Sure, the mice help to spread the sawgrass that keeps the beaches from eroding but couldn't that wait awhile? In this poor economy, there are a lot of humans who are struggling to buy food.

Why is she given so much power without any oversight? A good leader, which O'Bama has been elected to do for us, does not try to do all the work themselves but delegates it out to others and then provides oversight to make sure they are carrying out his instructions. So, either Pelosi and Reid are doing their jobs according to his instructions or O'Bama is a poor leader who is not managing them and does not know what is "really" going on.

NEWS BULLETIN about Pelosi vs Panetta in regard to the CIA being liars. It has just come out that there is a letter, not from Panetta himself personally, written on white house stationery stating that Panetta has admitted that the CIA frequently lies to Congress all of the time. It is amazing how politicians manipulate everything around to back up their misdeeds. Both parties are experts in using smoke and mirrors to confuse any issue that arises. A full blown investigation is being considered to resolve this matter as to who is doing the lying. Mercy! Politics have deteriorated into the likes of what goes on in the popular soap operas on television.
