Political commentary, opinion & insight into the state of the United States of America.

Let’s see, drawing a line in the sand didn’t work. After telling Syria they risked war if they used chemical weapons, Obama first turned to Congress to get him out of that after the gas was used. Then, he turned to Putin to broker a deal.

So, let’s try drawing a line in the snow, maybe that will  work better.

Now he threatens Putin over the Russian troops in the Ukraine. But, at the same time he has Hagel announce we will reduce our troop levels to pre- WWII levels.

The mouth that roars must roar. An empty wagon makes the most noise.

Let’s track all of that. First, the US Commander in Chief threatens little Syria, then backs down. He uses Russia to back down. Then he threatens Russia after reducing our troop levels.

Embarrassed yet? The world is laughing folks. We are a joke.

Let’s discuss my favorite two topics , education and term limits.

The Mayor of New York is going about the business of closing down successful charter schools in the city. The President of the United States, who is in favor of charter schools, is quiet on this issue. The Secretary of Education, who is in favor of charter schools, is mute also. The governor of New York says nothing. The charter schools are in the poor sections of the city. They have demonstrated quantitative success over public schools. Doesn’t matter. The teachers’ union doesn’t want charter schools showing success. So, sorry kids, it’s all about the beloved teachers’ union, not about you. The president and the Secretary of Education put in place a testing system to measure teacher performance. Teachers in Illinois say they will boycott the process. States are removing the test process. Teachers are being indicted for changing test scores to retain jobs. A man named Bobby Thompson tried to give the city of Detroit enough money to build 5 charter schools several years ago. The city turned him down. The union didn’t like the idea. Let’s use the City of Detroit for our educational model nationwide.

The present governor of Illinois, Pat Quinn, tried to get term limits put into law in a previous job. A judge declared that the people of Illinois can’t vote on term limits. It must be changed by the system. Of course, we should let foxes into henhouses, your honor. Wonder how much they paid that judge? He may be one of the dozens of judges in Illinois serving time for bribes. Where the hell does a judge come off making this decision? The Republican candidate who will get the nomination, Bruce Rauner, says he will put in term limits, eight and done. He may succeed, if elected, since he wants to do it, not to use it for a campaign promise, but because he believes it’s the proper thing to do. One only needs to see them prop John Dingell(D), Michigan up to honor him for serving far too many years and refusing to retire. By watching that, we can realize we don’t need people with bibs to catch the drool serving in elective office. Now, Dingell’s younger wife may replace him. Do we need that too, Hillary?

We don’t need bigger government running everything ineptly. We need less incompetent elderly drooling politicians who got rich in office by taking every penny they could take. Let’s make them get out and work in the private sector, or run for bigger jobs. Make them retire and not replace themselves with a family member. Just understand one thing, 95% of them have never run anything and the majority couldn’t hold a decent job in the private sector. They run and stay because they get far too much of your adulation and money for far too little talent and effort.

Less government messing up the educational system and elected officials who must make a mark in 8 years then move on to a bigger job or find real work.

Tipping, tipping, falling, falling, that’s the sound of the United States Constitution these days. We all learned in civics class about the three branches of government and how they keep each other honest. It’s never worked smoothly, but this is the first time a potential dictator has emerged. Obama refuses to work with congress and the supreme court has become less relevant. Although this week they are addressing the issue of carbon emissions and whether the president, despite congress, can force the entire country to conform to his level of carbon emission tolerance.

So, the president tells the country he will rule the country and no one gets upset. Do you really want the most inept president in history to be your dictator? Do you want him to just enforce his bad judgment at his will? Do you want to see what separates us from Cuba go away?

Somewhere it has to start. Someone must say, sorry Mr. President, you will live by the rules of the Constitution and you won’t arbitrarily  just do whatever you choose. We don’t want a dictator and if we did, we would choose someone better equipped than you. You have a 42% approval rating and you want us to let you do whatever you choose?

Thomas Paine said, ” The duty of a patriot is to protect his county from his government”.

Wake up folks. We need both the legislative branch and the judicial branch to pass whatever they need to pass to stop this. We need to take away Obama’s options, not increase them. Executive orders, sorry, none, none for you Obama. Come down off the high horse and get your lazy ass over to the House and the Senate and do some smoozing if you want something passed. Or, invite them up to our house, get the” our”, Barack, not your house. You are our guest and soon you will be living in your house and we will have someone else in our house.

Wake up folks, this man is trying to take over this country.  What would you trust him to do now that you know him better? Spend a near-trillion dollars(stimulus bill), balance a budget($17 trillion and counting), invest for you(Solyndra), run a business (post office), manage foreign relations(Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq), build a website(ObamaCare), hold people accountable( Fast and Furious, IRS scandal, Benghazi, ObamaCare, NSA, etch, no one fired), close Gitmo, or you name it. What could you trust him to do. Not tell you the truth-”-like your doctor, keep your doctor, etc”.

Let’s go back where the founding fathers put us with the Constitution. Stop the power grab at the top of the house and restore order. Let’s do it now when we have a  president no one trusts or believes can do much right. Any president from now on wants something done, do it the way the Constitution says it must be done. No shortcuts, called executive orders. NONE.

   May I simply say what a relief to find somebody that really
   understands what they are talking about on the internet.
   You certainly know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
   A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of
   your story. I was surprised you aren’t more popular given that you most
   certainly have the gift.
