Hello one and all! I took some much needed time off and rest these past few weeks. Due to the holidays and 'some' personal, family 'stuff.' I felt the time off would do some good...and it has! I'm better rested now and let's charge ahead on the matters of the day and our time.
As you know, there is a health care debate. Should there be a public option or not is the real question. It is the quintessential piece (article) of the overhaul legislation whether it lives or just goes away. In my opinion: I really think some form of legislation will make the President's desk for his signature and soon. It may not be all that he wanted or we 'as a people' required, but it's a start. The late-Senator from Massachusetts (Ted Kennedy) used to say; "We got to take what we can get now and work on the rest later." HE WAS RIGHT!
I predict Harry Reid (D-NV) will loose his bid for reelection. His lackluster style and 'cronyism' way of doing things to get the job done leaves a bad taste in one's mouth like....like cold coffee; 'strong and bitter.' Martha Coakley (Atty Gen, D-Mass) who wants to succeed the late Ted Kennedy will also loose her bid and aspirations to gain the seat. Why? To take time off (away) from the people of Massachusetts campaigning and go to a lavish fund-raising event in Washington D.C. with a room full of lobbyists just wasn't a smart move. Ex-Lax moves smoother than that and the blame is on her campaign staff. Her Republican rival (Brown) will win the race by at least 10 points or more! (MY PREDICTION)
Kudos to President Obama for his quick and decisive actions to set into motion the much needed aid for ravaged Haiti. It is utter and complete total devastation there. An entire country (so it seems), its capital city (Port-Au-Prince) was leveled to the ground. For him to seek the assistance of two former Presidents (Clinton and Bush) ought to be commended. He has also lead the way for the world community to get the much needed supplies, food and aid in their to help as soon as possible. Providing security and the prevention of looting is also on the list. For looters to take advantage of such a situation is shameful!!!!
Finally; Rush Limbaugh. It seems as of late he has put his foot in his mouth (again). For him to make comments that President Obama was taking advantage of the situation in Haiti to 'shore up' his political base with regard to "light-skinned and dark-skinned blacks" is like the Iranian President (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) saying that the Holocaust never took place. Mr. Limbaugh is a tried and true, pure-bred, flag-waving, 'self-indulgent' wanna sell my books so I can make a lot of money Republikan (subliminal message). Everything he says is propaganda in the world according to Rush. (No wonder they didn't want him anywhere near, let alone an owner/investor of an NFL football team!)
Until next time; "Keep your feet on the ground, where ever you're standing is where you are."
Sincerely,
Wes Dodrill
