Pres. Obama, Master Gardener

It appears to me, the President, like Johnny Appleseed, is planting as many seeds as he possibly can.

* Johnny Appleseed was a legendary American who planted and supplied apple trees to much of the United States of America. Many people think that Johnny Appleseed was a fictional character, but he was a real person.

In rain, snow, sleet and hail, the President laboriously plants his seeds in efforts to guarantee the future of this country. Unlike Johnny, he is planting more than apple seeds.

We are now beginning to see some spouts emerging. We are beginning to see poof the seeds were of good stock. We are beginning to see what truly healthy plants are like and that those plants are the real deal; no Monsanto shit!
We are also witnessing times the President has to thwart the many efforts of poachers bent on harming them.

A few are already on their way to becoming full grown plants yielding wonderful benefits for all to see. Some have to be trans-planted into other areas of the garden and some need more or, in some cases, less fertilizers but they too are well and will continue to grow and prosper for many seasons to come.

Other than sowing his own seeds, the President bequeathed special seed packages to each of his cabinet members to sow in their various environments, assuring them he will help them to grow however way he can.

I am mindful of a song from an off-Broadway show with the simple title, “My garden”. God bless Pres. Obama.
As always,
BB

P.S. In the future, it would be pleasant visiting a section of the Obama Library seeing rows of plants and trees with name tags identifying the bill/seed he planted. “Life in the Obama Arboretum.”

And
Striking at a lucrative bank business, the Senate on Thursday voted to force credit card companies to reduce fees for debit card transactions and permit merchants to offer customer discounts based on their payment method...
The vote was a major defeat for banks, which lobbied hard against it. But the measure attracted heavy bipartisan support and surpassed a 60-vote threshold for passage. Seventeen Republicans voted for the amendment; 10 Democrats voted against it.
