Where'd The Oil Go?

I have been very busy lately and have not had much time to keep up with the news so I need a little help.  Last time I tuned in, our President was going to kick some ass, our lawmakers were making asses of themselves in public as they lambasted the former CEO of BP (were these the asses the President was referring to?), yet nobody but some BP engineers were doing a damned thing to stop the oil leak.

About that same time, the President joined his lawmaking buddies by making an ass out of himself by giving an inane speech during prime-time, talking about how we need to get over our energy dependency - talk about too little, too late.  Even then, I believe the oil was still pumping.  But wait!  We told 13 countries we did not need their equipment nor their help, so the oil must have stopped, right?  No, the media began, dare I say, criticizing the man they made President of the free world; for not doing enough.  But lately it seems, the criticism has stopped, so the oil must have stopped as well, right?  After all, I hear that Obama is playing golf and enjoying the luxuries afforded him as a peacetime President during great economic times.

Again, I have been busy lately, so clearly, the war is over, our sons and daughters are home and the threat of terrorism is no more!  Though I cannot afford to keep scraps on my table, I assume the rest of the country is living large on the best economy in our lifetime...and of course, the oil has stopped pumping, birds and fish are celebrating and the environmentalists are back to talking to trees in the forest, which they get to by twitching their nose, because we know they do not drive to them; and heaven forbid they should abuse a defenseless horse by riding on it's back.

Back to reality...Mr. President, you can BS some relatively intellectual people with your rhetoric and your sharp tongue and you can impress all of mindless followers with your platitudes.  I will even forgive many of them because they do not understand "Chicago Politics", which is all I needed to know about you to know you were rotten to the bone.

But Mr. Obama, let me make a suggestion that will prove to be valuable and may even help you win re-election (don't worry, if he ever listened to anyone he would have remained a Senator - out of sight, out of mind):  Start listening to the American people and start listening now.  Start acting in their best interest, not yours or that of your cronies.  Do not underestimate the American people and their ability to stand in unity against those that would take away their most precious asset, their freedom!  When people mess with Americans, there are no red states and blue states, there is just one state, and it is red, white and blue!  When this happens, the only thing you will be leading will be the train of democrats out of Washington D.C., in a landslide that will make Ronald Reagan's victory against Jimmy Carter look close by comparison.  However, knowing how you are, if I were you, I would not be signing any contracts for cable if they last longer than two years...and you might want to polish up your resume, though I suspect jobs will be a little tougher to find when you leave office.  One last thing, stop blaming Bush for your incompetence, the state of our union can be blamed on one thing - Obamanomics!  It's good to know that the oil stopped pumping though.
