Ground Zero Mosque

I am appalled at all my friends who are so opposed to the mosque near ground zero. To show our tolerance, we should let them build. Then right across the street, someone should put a topless bar, called “You Mecca Me Hot”.

Next to that should be a gay bar, “The Turban Cowboy”. And next door to the mosque should be a pork rib restaurant, maybe ” Iraq o’ Ribs”? Then the Muslims could be allowed to show their tolerance. Problem solved.

JOB WOES. DOES OBAMA STILL WANT THE JOB OF PRESIDENT? IS HILLARY CLINTON BETTER SUITED TO TAKE OVER?

JOB-HUNTING WOES. COULD BE WORSE – YOU COULD BE PRESIDENT OBAMA

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS…. wear are they? Total nonfarm payroll employment declined by 131,000 in July.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. People who are going to be voting in this midterm cycle will probably wonder what if anything has changed. Wasn’t Change the whole premises upon which the Obama Administration rode to power on? Not that John McCain would have done any better – GOD! It most likely would have been a LOT worse.

But we’re still fighting in two wars, the drug violence and immigration problems on the Mexican Border are at this point OUT OF CONTROL, nothing has been done of any significance regarding Global Warming – and it goes on.

There was a time when you couldn’t turn on the television without seeing Obama. Now – I can’t turn on the television and see him. He’s on the Internet – that’s another issue – but he’s MIA on TV with the exception of people talking about him on the PBS Newshour or on the Sunday Morning Liar’s Club shows. Presidential Graying though – seems to be in effect just like George Bush Jr., and Clinton before him.

And then one says to themselves – why would anyone want the job of Governing.

What’s the incentive for the risks one takes and the toll on one’s health, mind and spirit. Obama so far doesn’t seem to be all the worse for wear. But constant dropping wears away a stone as they say – which is perhaps why we see him in his jubilant moments less and less. There’s nothing to celebrate! Everyone’s for hope and change. But, we as a people know that it’s all just rhetoric and that elections all seemingly boil down to a voter’s having to choose from the lesser of two evils. Or… not vote. Hmmmm….. there’s a concept. Such is the case in the Florida Gubernatorial Primary (see previous post on Rick Scott who held a slim 5 point lead a week ago and now “are about as close as they can be 45-44 in a virtual dead heat.” But don’t worry, neither Alex Sink nor Rick Scott will wear out their welcome. And truth be told, it’s better to wear out than to rust out as Rod Blagojevich.

But the wear and tear has to be taking it’s toll on Obama who certainly doesn’t appear to be wearing his presidential fingers to the bone – though he does wear heart on sleeve. He of course does need to wear more than one hat, commander of the military, social cheerleader, environmental advocate…. and the nation was ready to see him do it… but it’s wearing off as his approval rating is down to 45%.

Maybe he’s having a problem wearing the Presidential pants but regardless he’s worn out his welcome and we’re all the worse for wear. He to his credit has reached out to the right but apparently not enough. If he does decide to seek a second term, you can bet the gloves will come off. Which makes these mid-term elections all the more important regarding any mandate he has.

When we do see him like during his State of the Union Speech the other night, he looked worn and very much like he didn’t want to be there, playing out the string. I seriously question if he will run again. And at the same time, Hillary Clinton is making overtures that she’s tiring of the wear and tear, and traveling that being Secretary of State demands. Him, sounds like Hillary could take all that foreign diplomatic experience and kick back in the White House. One wonders if there was a deal to let Obama win the 2008 and run Clinton in 2012.

Regardless, I am convinced Barack Obama no longer wishes to be president.

So – Birth, School, Work, Death.
