Common sense is so damn cool ... wish we had some

I have been feeling so bad for President Obama these past few weeks.  Can you imagine what it must feel like to deal with all the crap this country has going on?  It's kind of interesting that we've never had a president who skipped the country!  But if we were, I would think it would be this guy.  What a mess!

The media has been fairly kind, I would say, overall.  It's not like he's been around long enough to make 8 years worth of heinous mistakes, of course.  I was interested to read his words about making a mistake in regards to the nomination of Tom Daschle for secretary of health and human services.  There are a number of these people who won't pay their back taxes.  Unbelievable, really, but then again, it is probably really, really hard to find a squeaky clean candidate in Washington who has experience and the ability to make some real changes yesterday.  Let's face it, the time is not to start pointing out how bad everyone is:  Hell, we had a criminal president and didn't do a damn thing about it.  So if there is someone out there who can HELP us, then fine, tell him no more not paying taxes anymore.  It's time to be good.

The term "politically correct" is a joke.  It really means to adhere to a certain set of rules set up by a certain group or whatever and which can change at any time.  So.  This whole vetting of potential nominees is ridiculous, and I for one think it has to stop.  How many smart people have we lost to illegal alien nannies?  Or infidelity?  WHO CARES!  Seriously, we've already proven that illegal acts are not that big of a deal, so stop picking on people with minor violations.  And which one of us wouldn't pay a single tax we didn't have to if we could figure out a way around it?

I could care less about Tom Daschle, I am not out tooting his horn one bit.  But I did vote for this president because I truly believed that he had the smarts and the ability to change what America has become.  And if he says that Tom Daschle is the right man for the job, then fine.  But because we care oh so very much for this type of thing, Obama has to stop the ball rolling in health care reform.  I love how the press says well, he may have weathered this storm by admitting he was wrong, but now he better find someone who can do something about the health care crisis.

Oh for CRYING OUT LOUD.  How do we take ourselves seriously ... ever?  What a bunch of hypocritical idiots we can be.  So woo hoo, one down because the press is responsible for vetting out the bad ones if the president's staff can't do it.  Oh yeah.  So how it works is, if you can get into office, once you are there you can break all the rules you want.

Do I have this right?
