The ADD Presidency
Posted by Terry L. Bradbury on July 27, 2010
How’s that hope and change working out for you? Perhaps the reason we haven’t seen any real change (at least the kind most Americans support and agree with) is because #44 can’t seem to focus on anything long enough to give it the kind of attention any serious matter might deserve. In fact, the greater the initial importance given the crisis du jour, the more I’m inclined to think this administration is saying “Ooh, look! Shiny thing!” in an attempt to keep us all off guard so we don’t notice the horror show going on over on Capitol Hill.
- The housing market collapse
- Financial markets melt down
- Stimulus Bill
- Bailouts – AIG, GM, Chrysler, Banks, Freddie, Fannie, etc.
- Swine Flu
- Healthcare “reform”
- The Beer Summit
- Cap and Trade (Global Warming)
- Military Leadership
- Border Security
The list goes on and on. It is a never-ending parade of “look at me” moments that prevent anyone from looking too closely at what is really going on in Washington. Now before we move on to the next crisis (why is it always a crisis anyway?), let’s stop to take a look at our current disaster before it is forgotten like the Nobel Peace Prize.
Can our country afford to leave this administration in place one minute longer? As I write this, it is 98 days until the midterm elections. It will take at least 2-3 election cycles to get rid of all of them (I don’t care about the letter after the name), so let’s start this November! If you need help in selecting a candidate, please read my previous post.
