It Takes Them An Hour And A Half To Watch 60 Minutes

The Nobama Administration today released new budget numbers for the second time and it’s a good thing the Chief is up in Martha’s Vineyard, playing golf with his favorite bankers. While the Administration, and somehow that word doesn’t seem appropriate, is really good with the verbiage and loquaciousness, they seem to have a very real problem with numbers. 

The revised revision tells us that they were only off their original numbers by close to THREE TRILLION DOLLARS. And as more folks, who DO understand how to count weigh in, the scenario just gets worse and worse.

But according to the White House, those SHOVEL READY jobs are just around the corner. Or in North Dakota, or going to bababillionaire George Soros, so he can drill for oil off the coast of Brazil (Because there is a sh__load of oil there).

My good friend Chuck (who voted for Obama), called me earlier this morning. I greeted him the way I always do, by saying, “How’s that CHANGE working out for you now?”

Chuck stunned me by telling me he is going to Washington, to carry a sign and protest the proposed healthcare plan. “I really screwed up,” he said, “and I want them to know that if we ran our businesses they way they are proposing to run the country…it’s all over.”

Chuck is a former Canadian who became a citizen 7 or 8 years ago, after watching the business climate in his native country deteriorate. He regularly flew his mother from Toronto to Florida, to get medical treatment she would not have received in Canada. He spent a lot of money to get that done, and would do it again.

She passed away last fall, at the age of 83. Chuck says she would have been gone ten years earlier in Canada. Two months before his mother died, he took her on a month long cruise around Europe and Africa. “She thought it was the greatest adventure of her life and I never saw her so happy. Had I stayed in Canada that trip would never have been possible.”

Chuck is also a big fan of my Powerhouse Omega Formula. At his last check up, his doctor was delighted with his results. He told Chuck that his heart was functioning like he was was 25. Chuck is 48. Chuck doesn’t just rely on my ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil.

He watches what he eats and he’s an avid biker (as in bicycle). He rides every morning for about two hours and longer on weekends.

Chuck wants me to join him in Washington for the protest and I’m thinking about it. He promised me my very own sign and that might be a hard thing to pass up. He’s also promised me that he can get us on television (he knows people).  “Let them try and call us Astroturf!” he says. “Or un-American.”

That’s when he got really worked up and spit out, “Those Obama people are so dumb it takes them an hour and half to watch 60 Minutes.”

It sort of reminded me of a question put to the notorious F. A. G. (Fat Al Gore). In a campaign stop in ’96 he was asked what aspirations he had.

“I think I would like to be a better dancer,” said Fat Al.

Is it any wonder he lost that election?
