Stompy, is pissed off and he&rsquo;s going to do everything in his power to punish the evil bastard conservative, American voters. Isn&rsquo;t that what his whole administration has been built on?<\/p>\n<p>Just look at the scandals<\/p>\n<p>NSA &mdash; Spying on Americans (I&rsquo;ll grant you that started after 9\/11 but it shouldn&rsquo;t have been continued.)<\/p>\n<p>Weaponized IRS &mdash; Yeah Nixon was the first one to try that&#8230; As I recall that was part of what cost him the Presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Isolation of certain members of the press for asking the wrong questions&#8230; Then subsequent investigation of those poor dumbasses by both the IRS and NSA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now he&rsquo;s talking about a flood of immigrants. Sure he&rsquo;s going to say it&rsquo;s just the folks who are already here.<\/p>\n<p>But we all know that the flood gates will open and everyone will scramble to cross the border. &nbsp;There will no doubt be a period of 30 to 60 days before the executive order takes effect, which will result in 1000s more unskilled people crossing the border. I mean how many gardeners, waiters, or fast food workers do we actually need?<\/p>\n<p>(<em>As an aside, when I wrote the line above, I thought, &ldquo;jeezus man that&rsquo;s a racist thing to say.&rdquo; But I suppose if The President can refer to latinos as maids and fruit pickers I guess I&rsquo;m not as far off as I thought I was. The irony is that when I was very, very, young in the South, we had orange groves and pecan groves full of migrant workers who happened to be black.<\/em>) &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course The Presidents comment underscores for me just how out of touch he is with the average American. Maid? Really? I and most of the middle class wouldn&rsquo;t know what to do with a maid if our lives depended on it. Hell, I can see myself cleaning up the house <strong><em>before<\/em><\/strong> the maid came in just so I wouldn&rsquo;t be completely mortified.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maid? Yeah, right! Even when I was employed I had other things to spend my hard earned money on. Most of the time I was spending money just to make ends meet. I do my own yard work, make my own bed, cook my own food, and clean my own damn house, Mr President. I don&rsquo;t come from the elitist background you apparently do.<\/p>\n<p>Further, as I&rsquo;ve asked before, what about the American kids of all stripes looking for that first job? Oh yeah, they don&rsquo;t matter.<\/p>\n<p>This seems to be all about reducing America to it&rsquo;s knees, or creating a huge permanent Democratic voting block, or creating such racial polarization that the country tears itself apart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Does nationwide martial law suspend presidential elections?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this is just another stepping stone in Obama&rsquo;s path to become a de-facto king.<\/p>\n<p>Just one of those dark thoughts that flits through my mind sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&rsquo;t admire the President&rsquo;s policies or politics.
