Should BP pay for the damage to the Gulf and all those Gulf residents affected by the spill? Absolutely. Did Obama do a shakedown of BP?  Of course. Does this stuff go on between elected officials and corporations all the time? Yes. Are both the Obama administration and BP corrupt? Yes. Was some kind of a backroom deal done before the so-called “meeting” the other day? Yes. Will a bunch of the set aside money end up in the pockets of Democrat politicians, local elected officials, outfits like Acorn, trial lawyers and unions? Yes.

Joe Barton’s real stupidity was to just not keep his mouth shut until this deal failed like everything else Obama has tried to do and then, when the chickens come home to roost, he and the rest of the Republicans would have had a huge club to beat the Democrats over the head with. I don’t expect elected Republicans to be geniuses, I just want them to be endowed with some political common sense and maybe figure out that when your enemy is hanging himself with his own rope just let him go ahead and do it. Yeah, Joe Barton was telling the truth but there are winning and loosing ways to do it.

Now the letter to the editor:

“Congratulations Democrats! You’ve won, Big time! You now control the entire Federal Government.You own all the levers of power. You should also realize that you own the consequences of this Socialist Workers Paradise that you are creating.You own the unemployment rate, the tax rates, the Dow/Nasdaq Averages, the GNP, future SAT scores, the price of oil, the crime rate, and the inflation rate.You own every body-bag that comes home to America. You own the Iraqi war and the consequences of a cowardly retreat. You also own Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Hamas, Hezbollah, Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chaves, and Kim Jong-il. Those of us that did not drink the Kool-Aid, will be watching every move your Democratic dictatorship makes… and we WILL hold you accountable. By the way, I’m a retiree. Where do I pick up all the free stuff Obama promised me?”

I love it!!!

There is some poetic justice in the fact that Hillary Clinton, who, it appears, was promoting her own coronation, may now not even get the nomination. I say “may not get it” because it’s hard to count the Clintons out even when they are down and the real dirty tricks have yet to be played. Wait until the backroom deals start to be made amongst the mucky mucks of the Democratic Party. However, it would make me exceedingly happy to see Bill Clinton denied a third term in the White House. And, while on the subject of Bill Clinton, why did he possibly ruin her chances amongst blacks by committing the ultimate political sin of race baiting Obama? Did he really think it was necessary so therefore he was the best to be the heavy and get it done or was he trying to sabotage her campaign thinking that if she won and was a better president than he it would further deteriorate his “legacy”?

In any event, his “legacy” is pretty well tarnished since he has exposed his sordid character to the whole world once again. There is practically no loathesome action or actual crime that can’t be excused amongst the left wing in this day and age, including mass murder and genocide, so even though Bill could be excused for selling the Lincoln Bedroom, taking campaign cash from the Chinese, raping women, selling pardons, loosing his law license for lying to a grand jury and making millions off lucrative back room deals, it is meet that he discovered that acts of racism against the party faithful for political gain wasn’t to be tolerated. This time he really fell off the wall and as “they” say, all of his big media pals “couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again”.

I for one will be glad to see the Clintons with their overweening lusts for power, self-aggrandizement and especially money move off the stage of history.

More to come.
