Obama Talks Big, But Where's the Beef? (It's All Pork!)

I’ve been quiet recently. Probably not quiet enough to suit the two hide-bound liberals who follow my occasional blogs. Throw in the three Townhall faithful who stick with me because they are bored with watching replays of old LBJ press conferences and you got my entire audience. We could hold a class reunion in a broom closet. Anyway, I am getting really spooked over some of the lofty political goings-on, and it has brought me out of hiding. A President Obama’s séance before a gathering of the nation’s elite (except for Stuart Smalley, who was pouting in his bunker near Winona, Minnesota). As I watched this spectacle on teevee, I could hardly concentrate on what the Great One was enunciating because of head cheerleader Nancy Pelosi, who bounded out of her seat with the regularity of a hyped-up cuckoo clock, prodding the rabid fans into one standing ovulation after another. It was a bizarre pork parade bristling with earmark “faves”, which one report put at 9,000, with Democrats reportedly being joined by some Republicans to raid the trough and get their “share”. I’m not really proud of that. Rumor has it that U.S. hog farmers are getting peeved with the Congress for generating more pork than our livestock producers. Senator Lindsay Graham, South Carolina Republican, is a guy I like, as he is courageous, plain-spoken, and patriotic. I think he is destined for a greater things. On a Fox News Show that was fair and balanced, Graham said Obama talked platitudes, such as promising energy independence with no mention of the offshore drilling and nuclear power which would be required to pull it off. To my way of thinking, this is becoming a typical Obama ploy. The man is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, (KJV). Senator John McCain reportedly said that, as a Senator, the Barackmeister had a history of talking a good game but folding before the objective was realized. This likely is a harbinger of more excitement to come. Well, friends, the drama is beginning to play out before our very eyes, and we will probably be stunned and amazed as the wrapping is pulled off of the gift package we have been presented. Believe me, it won’t seem like a “gift”, as we are going to pay for it out of our own pockets and purses, whichever comes first. Just remember, your buddies here on Townhall told you so. And now, good night to all y’all from my home in historic Wilmington, NC, where the sun always shines sometimes.
