Then I saw a post that said "Gas will soon be $5 a barrel. Let's make Obama a one-term president."
At first I thought this was a joke. I'm not talking about someone wanting to replace Obama. I'm talking about someone that thinks he is responsible for the high price of gas.
This same person probably believes that if we drill off shore, all of our oil problems will go away.
They must be in favor of invading Libya. After all, that strategy of attacking when not attacked worked so well in Iraq and Afghanistan. When will we learn that if you break it, you own it. I saw McCain was in Libya. He said, "These rebels are my heroes." I bet he comes to regret that one.
Maybe it is opposite day and I just missed the announcement. Now that I know, I want to play along as well.
Here is my wish list:
Bring back the Republican Party, preferably the Tea Party. I'm sure they can cut costs and still pay for everything. I'm sure they can do this in spite of the fact that we are 1.6 trillion over budget and only have 1.4 trillion in discretionary spending (and that's if you count paying for the military discretionary).
I think we should not tax the rich at all. This will allow them to hire even more people to create things that no one can by. Or, they may create jobs indirectly by buying lots of things and thus allowing the poor to go to work making these things for the rich. I know this was a big failure during the 8 years of Bush but that was not really his fault...oh wait...it was his fault but maybe the engines of economics have changed since his failure.
I think we should impeach Obama. He has only turned around an economy that was nearing the Great Depression in scope. He did it in 2 years while the Great Depression lasted 12 years.
I think Obama is not an American citizen anyway. Sure, everyone has seen the documentation but saying it feels so good. And if the Donald says it, it feels extra good.
Finally, I want to fix my remote so every channel is Fox news. Through them, Rupert Murdock is president and he is really a man with vision. After all, he just came up with a service where you can buy news and have it sent to your phone. Only a genius could find a way to make money out of something that is readily available for free everywhere.
In short, I want Bush to come back. I want a new war, out of control spending, massive job loss and the complete collapse of the middle class. Alas, he's had his two terms so we can't legally bask under the leadership of his C student, Cheney-sock-puppet hand. Maybe Sarah can bring us back to his glory days.
Nothing say's leadership like "I was mayor of brown-bear Alaska."
I love opposite day. Up is down, and Obama is to blame for $5 gas.
Anyway, I need to get back to reality. There is a world to save.
Up, up and away...
