Chaos

The turmoil in Iran continues. Mehdi Karroubi, defeated Iranian presidential candidate and reform cleric, is attacked on his way to prayers. Thousands of Iranians are still chanting "Freedom!" Does President Oblivious care? People crying out for freedom must be beneath His notice, for He says nothing. Not surprising, since He's doing his best to take away our freedoms here at home.

Unemployment continues to rise. Our debt is huge, and it's likely that other countries will start avoiding the purchase of our Treasury notes. This means the printing presses will be working overtime, producing more funny money, further devaluing our currency. The only difference between the plight of California, and that of the U.S., is that the U.S. government can print money. Poor California has to cut spending or go out of business.

Nancy Pelosi claims that the American people support the health care bill. I don't know one person who does. I think she knows that this "support" comment is a lie, but why should she stop now? The mainstream press never questions the drivel coming out of Washington.

So, we have a teleprompter President presiding over a failing economy, delusional Congressional leadership, and no sense of national purpose or unity coming out of Washington. Chaos.

Yes, our Feckless Leader looks cute throwing out a baseball, but the magic is gone.
