The Presidents’ first taste of real power

Today, the President Vetoed an ill-conceived bill that would have given Wall Street yet another pony. This is due to the fact he did not drink the Kool-Aid handed to him by his ‘friends’ and in my opinion, he is a stronger person for it.

In my opinion, the Veto today was a very big deal for the President and hope he is now beginning to finally realize yet another role of a President; difficult decisions have to be made for your base.

I heard long ago, when raising children and they mis-behaved, you only have to give a good spanking one time and for the rest of their lives you can make references to it as needed. That’s how you can ‘carry the big stick!’ The President now has his big stick and I hope he uses it wisely.

As always,

P.S. Now I can mail in my request for an absentee ballot with a smile on my face. It has been setting on the table for a few days.
