Post Election, Cuba, and Furthermore
by Barry Blauer
It turns out that the 2012 presidential election wasn’t about the issues after all. It was more like a Mr. America contest and Oblama won strictly on likeability and a winning smile. Unfortunately Romney came off as Scrooge. He wanted to cut the deficits and reduce the national debt and holler at one of his employees for putting another lump of coal on the fire.
I don’t think the Republicans need to change one bit as everybody is saying; they just have to wait until the nation’s infatuation with Oblama is over with. One little trick the Republicans can try in 2016 is to promise everything including the Moon to all the special interest groups and then after they get in office just ignore those promises. That’s what Oblama did in 2008 and it certainly worked for the American people because they want more of him.
The three biggest social programs namely Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are going broke which tells us what’s going to happen to Oblamacare. Which program or programs are going to die just to keep Oblamacare alive? It doesn’t matter whether you believe in the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny; the reality is we can not afford all of these programs. Do you see anybody in government doing anything about this? Oops, that wasn’t what the election was about, was it. I’ll learn.
We do have this turkey, sitting in a tree, and it will come home to roost someday and I hope we’re strong enough to take our punishment. Remember, Oblama used the word revenge and revenge is his agenda.

I’m still bugged about Cuba. We had possession of Cuba after the Spanish/American War. We kept Puerto Rico and Hawaii became the fiftieth state of the union but we gave Cuba, ninety miles off the shore of Florida, their independence. Whose dumb idea was that anyway? I guess I need to do some more reading. In 1961 we were willing to kill millions of people in Russia over the missiles they put in Cuba. That would have never happened had we kept possession of Cuba – maybe even made them the fifty-first state and Puerto Rico the fifty-second state. Makes sense to me and we would’ve avoided all that sorry history.

And Furthermore:
Even though lead tooth paste tubes were bad for us I always liked that we could roll up the tube to get more paste out of it and it didn’t unroll by itself!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. What’s wrong with Florida? Makes me wonder about the accuracy of their election results.
If I see one more actor from the Twilight movie series on a late night show I’m going to throw up!
I’ve read that the Atlantic Ocean is warming up and the Pacific Ocean is cooling down. While the Artic ice is shrinking, the Antarctic ice is growing. Are we in for another axis shift? That means climate change.
All living breathing things on this earth give off carbon dioxide that contributes to the pollution of the atmosphere. Should I mention methane too? If you’re concerned about global warming, feel free to jump off this Earth.
You know you’re getting old when you don’t recognize any of the guests on the late night talk shows.
What’s happening in the Oblama administration is proof that smart people do stupid things.
Seeing as the U. S. Post Office is failing, why not let UPS or FedEx deliver the mail?
Until the next time . . .
