Obama Admin: “All that glitters…”
Many of us paid the price and sacrifices to purchase what we considered “pure gold!”. Many of us were not aware how advanced PhotoShop had come nor the level to which ponzi schemes had elevated.
Many of us are like the bride or groom who, for whatever reason, goes to pawn the wedding ring to find it was only our love for the ring giving it any value. Other than that, the ring was worthless thereby forcing us to take a final review of various and missed signs as to how our marital relationship developed. Truly a sobering moment or two involving marriage vows, anniversaries, first born and the likes and truly not an easy road to navigate backswards.
We went through the same ritual with Nancy Pelosi and voters in Connecticut went through the same with Joe Lieberman as did the ones in Louisiana voting for Mary Landrau.
Boy oh boy did we stick out our chests with glowing feelings how sophisticated we were knowing the difference between “fool’s gold” and the real thing! We felt we were truly on a roll! We even took chances on a few “diamonds in the rough” to find out they too were phonies with “Glitter for sale” signs on their character only seasoned jewel experts could spot and did spot their "For sale" signs thus winning over and purchasing the candidates for their own nefarious reasons. They snatched them from us right before our very eyes in what can only be considered a Houdini moment! (At this time I smile thinking of the trilogy Geithner, Bernanke and Paulson with benevolent approvals from god-father Greenspan.)
The fact is we know everybody loves a bargain. We know if you want to sell something, give the buyer a bargain or, at best, a perceived one. If we want to purchase something and the person offers us a bargain, we take pause.
However, with the Presidency and the Congress, we Democrats did not go bargain hunting! After all, we Democratic voters are the ones who broke open the “Super delegates” secret society and won an election considered a miracle. We were the ones believing this time we were dealing with pure gold. We were the ones leaving no stone unturned to tell us otherwise. We were on a mission mining for pure 14 karat gold or as close as we could get but alas, eventually we had to deal with reality. Something went wrong.
We have been forced to note reality has not changed. Reality will not change. Reality will not change for us or anybody. Reality is the bitch she has always been; rough and ready for ya, standing and defendin’ her ground ready to knock the shit out of you if need be!”
In my one and only philosophy class I took in college taken in the liberal college, we music students had to write a paper related to the teacher’s pet philosophy, “You are either a tree or a non-tree.” I did not know what the hell she was talking about and even less how to write a paper on what I then considered crazy talk. Through the years I continue to laugh at my naïveté at the time and with that less than stellar grade on my transcript from the class.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
BB
P.S. I note Chuck Todd being advanced in the political arena for a possible run for an office or some serious political influences. This is how it is done.
