I wrote a rant yesterday about Obama's commitment to HCR because he decided to go to Copenhagen. I was pissed off about a lot more than just HCR and the summer olympics.
As I wrote yesterday, I am not happy with the way Obama left it to Congress to write a bill he campaigned for when he ran for president. After realizing his mentor on this issue was not going to make it to the finish line, Obama should have taken the bull by the horns and wrote the damn bill instead of leaving it for 535 different people. There is an old saying that I will apply to this situation. When you sit 535 Congress people in the same room you get 1,000 different arguments. In addition, I am pissed off he is going to Copenhagen when there are major issues, including Iran, that is more important than lobbying for a show. If Oprah and Michelle want to push it, fine, he needs to show the country he is going to the mat for us.
Today, I feel a lot better. Sorry Barack, no offense, I have days like that. I am getting crabbier as the years catch up to me. I figure if I write something like that once in 5 years, people will get over it and understand. Don't worry, my wife put me in my place and told me what I have written to many here. She told me to get out of the house, take the rottie out for a long walk and chill out. I did, and the world seemed a better place to me when I got back.
So today I wanted to acknowledge my mistake. I made a bigger mistake than Obama. However, I'm still pissed. So today's rant is leveled at Max Baucus. Do us all a favor Max, retire or do an Arlen and join the republican party. You either forgot what being a democrat is or you lost your mind. After hearing your lame excuse about 60 votes for you voting against Schumer's amendment, I got even more pissed off because you evidently thought the rest of us are that naive and stupid. I wasted a perfectly good 5 mile walk with the dog for nothing. Whatever good mood I got in was lost because of that piece of shit statement. You should have just voted against it with your mouth shut and I would not have felt anything about it one way or the other.
Oh, and by the way, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DETROIT LIONS!!!!!
