W. VA Decides Which Inmate They Want

Humans!  I love you all.  You are an unending source of humor for canines like me.  This morning while perusing the news with my favorite human, I noticed that 40% of humans in one state would rather have a convict in prison over the current President of the United States.  This strikes me as really funny.

What does it say about the current administration that these humans, which are registered Democrats, would rather have a criminal in the White House than Obama?  It says a lot to me.  It says that the ‘enlightened ones’ (Democrats) aren’t buying his bull any more.  I’ve known for years that conservatives like my human weren’t buying it, but seeing that humans on the other side aren’t is….well…it brings this canine hope.

You see, even dogs know that America can’t afford another four years of Obama and his policies.  I know you probably think I’m worried about Obama being in office for another four years because I might wind up on someone’s dinner plate, but I can assure you that is not the case.  I’m worried because I’ve seen first-hand what his programs have done to my human’s family.  Their business almost didn’t survive some of his programs.  As I am totally dependent upon the success of their business for my needs, it frightened me.  It still frightens me.  I’m worried that the excessive taxation that Obama and his cronies are so keen on will leave my human without a way to take me to the vet, pay for my food or even allow her to not work long enough to take me on long walks and/or hikes.

I want to give two paws up to all the voters in West Virginia for casting a vote against Obama in yesterday’s democratic primary!  Woof Woof to y’all!

Politicians Are Like Dogs In The Pound

Now I know that most people have visited their local pound once or twice to adopt an animal.  So you will understand exactly what I'm saying.  When you go to the pound, you look for an animal that is cute, lovable and reaches out to you.  Unfortunately, when people choose an animal, they often forget that the cute little puppy or kitten will eventually grow up.  This creates a problem later on down the road, because the adult animal may not have the temperament you thought it had, OR it may end up being bigger than what you thought when it was small.  Aren't politicians like that?

When Dems are campaigning, they give us platitudes and ideas that SOUND really good.  They even make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.  A Dem is really good at suggesting they are going to "reduce" the deficit or debt while stating what they're going to "give" you.  But...just like that cute little puppy, they grow!  And all of a sudden, you're faced with a gigantic beast that requires a lot more "food" than you thought.  I discussed this idea with my human, and I decided that if more people would take a little time to ask questions....some of these Dems would end up staying in the pound!

"Shasta," Candi began, "I have adopted and/or rescued many animals in my time.  One thing I've learned is to ask questions about the breeding of the animal.  For example, I want to know what kind of mix a puppy is before I take it so that I can do research and estimate what it's needs may be.  I adopt the same attitude with government.  I do research on politicians, what they stand for, how they've voted on past issues and how many times they've voted in direct violation of their campaign promises.  More people need to take this attitude.  If they did, maybe we wouldn't have some of the problems in this country that we currently have."

"Well why don't they?" I asked.

"We like to feel warm and fuzzy.  And it's easier for us to take the word of someone else than it is for us to check it out ourselves."

So here is my advice.  Treat every Dem, and even Republicans, like a dog in the pound.  Do your research, ask questions, and then decide which animal would suit your ideas and needs best.  I'd be willing to bet that we'll see a lot more Dems left in the pound than Republicans.

How Obama And I Are Alike

Last night, my human was online discussing 2012 presidential candidates with friends.  Although she won't give us her favorite at this time, not even me, she joined in the discussion and shared the pros and cons of each candidate as she sees it.  Then I began to think about something that was said.  How the Democratic Party had groomed President Obama.  The thought that struck me hardest was how much alike he and I are.  Let me explain.

Candi has spent hours training me and I am usually pretty good about doing what is expected.  For example, I'm not allowed to sit and watch her eat.  She says that it isn't cool for dogs to do that because what they're doing is begging.  I can see her point.  But here's the thing, I do watch her eat.  When she catches me watching her, I quickly turn my head away to avoid being punished.  I'm hoping she won't notice that I had been watching.  Unfortunately for me, she never buys it.  Obama is kind of the same way.  His party had trained him to do certain things and for the most part, he does what he was taught.  However, ever so often he strays and when he gets caught, he tries to pretend he wasn't so that maybe they won't notice.  Guess what?  His party and the American people aren't buying it anymore than Candi buys that I wasn't watching her eat.  If they were buying, Maxine Waters wouldn't be screaming in frustration and Pelosi wouldn't have been caught saying, "Great words, but...".  Think about it!

When I mentioned this to my human as we were going to bed, she began to giggle.  She said I had a point and that maybe we could send "The Dog Whisperer" to the White House to "re-train" Obama.  She's a firm believer that "an old dog CAN learn new tricks" IF they have the right human.  So here's my suggestion.  Let's get rid of the trainers in Washington, on the state and local levels and replace them with trainers who have common sense and are true Patriots.  It's just a suggestion!

My Thoughts On Obama's Job Speech

Tonight my human tuned into POTUS' job speech while chatting live with her fellow Smart Girls and Guys on SGP.  I, as usual, turned my back on Obama because I just can't stand to look at him.  I do, however, wish to share my thoughts about the speech with you.

Once again, TOTUS did all the work!  Of course, TOTUS is the hardest working member of the Congress!  Still, it seemed someone had coached POTUS on how to put inflections into his voice.  This did not make him any more interesting to listen to, but at least I didn't hear the normal monotone.

POTUS once again blamed the rich for not paying their fair share and even once mentioned Warren Buffet by name.  Those in attendance seemed bored with this rhetoric.  They should be bored.  POTUS said absolutely nothing that they hadn't heard before.  Biden looked very uncomfortable and Boehner should be awarded an Oscar for not laughing at the same old ridiculous content!

Nothing he said was new.  Although this was expected, I have to wonder....he blames big business, the rich, Congress, Republicans and TEA partiers on a regular basis, when is he going to blame the K-9 population?  Seriously!  After asking Candi, I have confirmed that I do not pay my fair share!  According to her, I contribute absolutely nothing to society.  Yet we have been left out of the blame game that POTUS likes to play!

POTUS also never said how he is going to pay for his new jobs plan.  Candi figures it will once again come out of the pockets of small business.  He also wants more regulations that will stifle small business.  So...how is small business supposed to pay if they are in bankruptcy due to all the regulations?

Now, I know I'm just a dog, but even I know that nothing that POTUS said made any sense at all!  Tonight's speech was nothing more than a campaign speech and he abused his power as President by asking for a joint session of Congress!  More taxpayer money wasted so that he could give a campaign speech!  Ughhh...

"Candi," I began, "Would you please take me to D.C. so I can bite that moron on the bum?  Maybe then he'll get a grip on reality and Americans can move forward!"

"I'm packing now, Shasta!"

Please excuse me now while I do a happy dance at getting to do something useful and contribute to society!!!!
