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!!!!

Obama: The King Of Denial
Mr. Obama absolutely cannot control those closest to him. His refusal to call them out for their hateful and slanderous rhetoric gives them a bully pulpit. Mr. Hoffa, Jr., is just the latest example. His speech filled with hate against the TEA party has outraged many looking for more civility in politics. But did the White House even acknowledge the comments? NO! Jay Carney even went so far as to tell the press that Mr. Obama didn't even hear the comments. Candi and I find Mr. Obama's deafness intriguing since he was just off stage waiting to speak!
Here's the thing. Obama won't acknowledge his failed policies, he won't acknowledge the hateful rhetoric coming from his own party and he won't acknowledge that he has hired idiots to advise him. This indicates that he is truly: The King of Denial!
It is up to TEA party members across this country to keep up the pressure. We must keep putting the word out there. If we are to succeed in draining the kool aid from the cooler, we have to be ever vigilant and continue calling on Mr. Obama and his cronies to stop the hateful rhetoric from their party. They gleefully call out any moderate or conservative for any vile speech, but won't call out their own. Mr. Obama, your double standard is showing and the American people aren't stupid enough to let you get away with it anymore! We will continue to put pressure on your administration for condemning us and NOT condemning your own party. By the way, Mr. Obama, I can find hundreds of examples of hateful rhetoric from Democrats, but very few instances from TEA partiers. Believe me, I've looked!
My solution to this problem is simple. Anyone caught using vile language, making unsubstantiated accusations, or threatening anyone else from either party, will be bitten in the bum by a dog. The choice of the dog will be left up to the individual victim of any such actions. Personally, we dislike the taste of human bums, but we'll do what needs to be done...starting with you for your failure to call out the guilty within your own party. TEA party dogs have decided we're taking your crown and you will no longer be allowed to be: King of Denial!

Babysitter's Rights...Are You Kidding?
A few days ago, my "nosy rosy" human was up before dawn going to various states' websites and checking upcoming legislation. All of a sudden she jumps up and yells, "You've got to be kidding!"
Naturally I was curious, so I trotted over to see what all the hulabaloo was about. She began to read it to me and I began to see why she was outraged. The state of California has decided that "domestic workers" should be given the same compensation and benefits that employees of companies receive. These include minimum wage, workers compensation benefits, overtime, breaks and a whole slew of things. Let me break it down for you:
If Candi and I lived in California, she would have to provide all of the above mentioned things for a "caretaker" for me if NO family member was available. She'd even have to provide a backup person so that the original babysitter could have a break every two hours! That means, she'd have to hire two people. She'd also be required to send in paperwork to the state regarding workers compensation insurance for both of those people. Are they trying to make sure our humans or parents can't have a night out? How does forcing this kind of legislation down their throats help the economy?
"It doesn't help the economy," Candi said. "What it does is create more beauracracy, prevent people from going out to eat or to the movies, or even taking "romantic vacations" without the kiddies!"
The worst part is that silly legislation like this is passed everyday in every part of the country. These silly laws end up affecting the entire nation. And more often than not, what happens in one part of the country, happens across the country.
One example is the textbook debate that went on in Texas a year or so ago. TFN, a non-profit organization that operates under the guise of promoting freedom of religion, wanted all references to religion taken out of history textbooks. Because Texas is the largest buyer of textbooks, if they had gotten their way, those references would have been removed from history books across the nation.
It only takes liberals getting their foot into one door, and BAM....a virus has infected our nation! We can't sit back on the sidelines content to watch the nightly news and complain on Facebook about the state of the nation. We must pay attention to what is going on in politics on the local and state levels as well. Most of all, we must develop networks of people to watch their communities and spread the word when legislation like this is up for debate. Face it people, more often than not...As Goes One State, So Goes The Nation!
