Well, Barack pulled himself out of a big hole. Not the way I would have done it if folks were crazy enough to elect me instead.

But the proof is in the pudding!

Well done, Barry!

I realize I haven't written here in some time (well over a year!) but I do want to add this now.

Alas, what I have to say is not good as far as the Obama Administration is concerned.

The president who we had such high hopes for in '08, has been looking worse by the minute! His actions have been puzzling; instead of the liberal democrat we thought we elected, we've gotten a cautious, centrist, near-Republican who seems afraid of his own shadow and this is seemingly also true of the whole Democratic Party which is afraid to rock the boat.

Are they in bed with the Bushies? It would seem so since they refuse to prosecute them as both Bush and Cheney so richly deserve to be.

Their reaction to the Wikileaks exposés have been irrational, panicky, and vindictive and the administration's secret forcing of the Spaniards (as set forth in the Wikileaks exposure.) to abandon their prosecution of the Bushies is, to me, beyond the pale.

Their bipartisanship has been an unmitigated disaster and their appeasement of and nearly down-the-road capitulation to the GOP is not something for which we supported Obama.

This doesn't mean I am becoming a Republican which would be futile. But it does mean I would support the resignation of Obama and the sooner the better.

s it not highly predictable that the arrest of five rabbis will bring the anti-semites out from under their rocks?

Religion in general, like politics, has always been a fertile field for corruption and none of the "faiths" has been immune from it.

I don't think any group should be singled out for their supposed corruption. All human beings err, some to a greater degree than others.

As Jesus is quoted as saying, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

Two people at least took issue with my remarks and I am unable to answer back as "comments are no longer being accepted."

But I wasn't meaning to call the article "anti-semitic" or to criticize it but rather several of the other comments, in fact. Perhaps I'm overly sensitive to these stories as they happen but I didn't apparently make myself understood.

It seems that Mr. Obama is now in the process of throwing the progressives under the bus:

1. He is permitting a valuable Arabic translator to be fired for the "hideous crime" of being gay thus putting our security in, not less, but more jeopardy.

2. He has put a corporate lawyer  for the big pollutors in charge of environmental protection. This is like putting the proverbial fox in charge of the henhouse.

3. He has backtracked from his promise to abandon the terror tribunals at Guantanamo Bay and has put in jeopardy his promise to close the base next January. In this respect he has been morphing into Dick Cheney. But I'm sure he will modify this decision by cutting in half the amount of waterboarding that went on on under the Bushies.

4. Last but not least, he has refused to release the torture photographs or to prosecute the criminals of the Bush Administration. This is tantamount to locking the barn door after the horses have escaped.

 Press Secretary Gibbs is rapidly morphing into Scott McClellan and our dear president into our even more admired, George Dubya Bush.

Damn the voters: give them the cute Sasha and Malia, their cute dog Bo and Michelle's arms and they'll forgive anything!
