I can’t understand how this Sanford affair is playing out. We have gotten used to our politicians indulging freely in extra-marital affairs. They seem to assume that’s a perk that goes along with the office.
I think the point in this particular case is about intelligence, not sex. This Sanford guy is not smart enough to be the governor of a state. There is no rational alternative explanation. Sanford is not playing with a full deck, as they say. What was he thinking, or was he? Bizarre!
Except for staying with him all these years, his wife sounds cool.

The Endless Obama Show
Even before the inauguration I knew I would disagree with virtually every program Barack would push. There are two things that do surprise me, however. I must admit I did not realize the dedication and fervor he would bring to the task. I have become even more surprised at his willingness to ignore the economic impact of his programs. The huge porky stimulus package and his UAW slanted GM bailout were only the start. On top of that Barack piles up scary budget deficits in pursuit of health care and the phony global warming scare. Apparently he is blinded to possible disastrous consequences by his extreme liberal passion. Amazing!
Until recently, I wondered how he planned to sell all of his liberal hocus-pocus. I have finally figured it out . Normally, we expect politicians to bombard us with the logic behind their programs. Not Obama. He is taking a much simpler approach. He intends to talk us into submission. What is it with this guy? There is this endless stream of words that vary depending on today’s version of the teleprompter script. He is on my TV more often than Law & Order. At least that TV show carries a disclaimer stating that the content is fictional. Obama’s Show doesn’t have the disclaimer. I find myself thinking, “Please, give me a break. Just shut up and be the president every once in awhile?”
Unfortunately, Barack mixes illogical reasoning with his stream of words. Take his health care plan, for instance. He plans to give insurance to 45 million uninsured. Don’t worry about the cost. According to Barack, the government will reform health care so that is actually saves money. How will they do that, you ask? He replies we must reform it. We have no choice. Any more questions?
He rubbished Bush unmercifully for not talking to the Iranians and the North Koreans. Then, he goes to Cairo to praise Islam along with his obligatory slamming of America. As a result, Obama must be the biggest joke going in these two countries. I mean, how naïve can one be with his approach to thugs? You can just hear the mullahs saying, “He is going to talk to us?” Laughter. “The president of the United States is going to talk to us.” Louder laughter!
And, the North Korean version goes like this. “Fire off another missile and put out a release on our nuclear program. Then, we will see what he wants to talk about. It sure is easy to jerk around this jerk of a president.”
Now we learn that Michelle feels she does not have enough influence. Apparently she is not satisfied with the impact her victory garden had on world affairs. She vows to be more outspoken. That’s all we need!
But, let’s face reality. Barack’s admirers still swoon at the mention of his name. The media pores over his words and find no wrong. His approval ratings have dipped a bit. But, we still have a long way to go to get even a touch of sanity in “the doings” at the White House.
Let us hope and pray that God is still inclined to look after our America with empathy. We need him to do so like never before.

Obama, the talking machine
For sure, there are two things we now know about Obama. First and foremost, he dearly loves to talk. Oh man, does he ever love the sound of his own voice. Secondly, he gets areal buzz out of flying around on Air Force One. Clearly, he can't get enough of either of these favorites.
Recently he combined his search to fulfill these fantasies by flying all the way to talk to Egypt "to talk the Muslim world." Barack rattled on for an hour. His admirers swooned. The media was enraptured. The Arab world love his conciliatory tone.
I'm sorry but for me the speech was just 6000 empty words produced by our word-machine president. In the first place, I have no problem with Islam, the religion. Those guys can bang their foreheads on their carpets all day long as far as I am concerned. No big deal. They are just practicing their religion. Have at it, guys.
What does bother me is that some sizable segment of the Muslim group work hard at trying to kill those of us who do not follow their thought pattern. They behead Daniel Pearl and proudly place it on video. They recruit and train suicide bombers to go forth to explode their wares to kill innocent people. They fly airplane full of passengers into buildings full of people. I ask you, does any other religious group even contemplate such dastardly acts?
Yet, Obama shows no outrage at this group. He even refuses to call them terrorists. His main worry is that they receive good treatment when captured. On top of that he proudly refers to that concern as "displaying American values." He says in his speech, "I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against any criticism of Muslim negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." Amazing!
On top of that he threw in his condemnation of American behavior which has become standard fare for his speeches. Did he note and loudly condemn the countries that supply funding and weapons to the radical group most of us call terrorists? No, that could be conceived as rude.
There is one positive from all of the Obama exposure. I now know where the remote button is on my remote. Why listen to the continual flood of meaningless words?
