Reflections On A Monday

I'm down in the Sacramento Valley as I write this post, at my wife's house in Ghetto Centrale. Today is to be the warmest day of the week, perhaps into the 80s. It's certainly filled with blue skies outside as contrasted to the miraculous and wondrous thunderstorm I encountered up at my cabin Tuesday night of last week.

The night skies were, then, split with the millisecond forks of white-hot lightning, illuminating the living room entirely. The thunder would gap for seconds then, minutes later, the bed-rattling booms seemed as directly over my cabin. As opposed to some thunderstorms this one lasted for a good hour or more. I love thunderstorms; the rain cascaded off my roof in sheets onto the deck.

There's another thunderstorm coming just 22 days from now.

One that will affect the entire nation and not just my, literally, little neck of the woods.

There are rumors, terrible rumors floating about in DC that the national media, "in the tank" for Leftists and Demorats -- their own kind, you see -- refuse to cover, editorialize upon or even speak about covertly outside of their own newsrooms. And that is:

A great deal of the Demorats in DC are concerned that Mr Obama simply isn't listening to them. He refuses to see that his philosophy is slaughtering the chances of any hope of a Demorat win in these remaining 22 days. They are concerned that he is incapable of compromise, incapable of learning from history and incapable of true political ingenuity or brilliance.

In essence: himself incapable of change.

People speak and write of the political brilliance of Obama. Comparatively speaking, Mr Obama is but a mere petulant child in contrast with William Jefferson Clinton, who was wise enough to know when to re-craft himself and his policies in such a way that he is still held as a Demorat ideal.

Mr Obama may be brilliant but he is an arrogant ideologue and a dunce. After all of his higher education, what has he actually learned? I submit: very little. He still does not see, purposely, reality.

Therefore, I conclude, he is quite incapable of changing his own path of political destruction or the path of destruction on which he has placed this nation.

Investors Business Daily says that, at our current rate, the US won't recover its lost jobs until the year 2020. Another complete decade of misery and stagnation.

The jobless rate has been at or above 9.5 percent for a year and two months, the longest stretch since the Great Depression.

More senior staff including defence secretary Robert Gates, and senior advisor David Axelrod, leave their ObamaJobs at the White House.

An excellent summation of Mr Obama here.

November, here we come.
