It seems to be the start of the pageant and award season so it behooves us to take a look at the contestant for being Mr. President. And what can I say other than boy, do we have a lousy candidate in place.
A president should be inclusive, inviting, encouraging. What we have is one who makes racial slurs as easily as ABC. While supposed to be complimenting the Navajo talkers, brave warriors of the WWII campaign, he needed once again to bring in a slur based on his own stupidity and nasty attitude towards a political opponent and boast how wonderful his speech, which he decided not to give but rather speak extemporaneously - bad move - and as usual, was his usual crass self.
He slurs gender as well at every moment he can find the time or opportunity. Caught on Access Hollywood boasting of his piglike behavior and attitudes towards and with women, he has now decided to forgo his excuse of 'locker talk" and just deny it ever happened and the tape of it? Why that was a fake of course. Any news that comes out that he decides was not such a good idea after he has spoken or tweeted, why just call it fake news, go after the media and shame, shame on him as he is now caught out as having given $10,000 to Project Veritas - a misnomer if ever there were one - an organization which tries to spread mis and dis information aimed at trapping the liberal media or personalities. Filthy stuff at best! And here he is donating to them. Pig!!
A President is supposed to talk truth, to represent all that makes our country great and work, yes, to make it greater, to use his own term, but not for just a small group of Americans. He roars about how he is for the working people, but yet we know the truth. He claims to be against special visas for foreign workers yet guess who has had all his requests for them satisfied. The secret settlement he made in reference to his building with undocumented, non union Polish workers who worked without safety practices has come out and when, oh when, will the "base" realize that he is using them as a stepstool rather than as a representation of benefits for them.
A President is supposed to pick aides and advisers who will serve the country with loyalty and who have done so before, yet what we have is a conglomeration of mostly old, white men who have ripped off the country and the world and amassed obscene fortunes and their goals now? Why to insure that fortune grows and how? Why by taking down any and all regulations that would prevent that and/or watch out for the little man.
His people, unfortunately, have also colluded, many of them, with Russia and why? Who truly knows what happened in their boss's twisted mind or theirs, but there they were emailing, chatting, meeting and who were these people - why generals, captains of industry and commerce and loyalty to the country, to its people, to its benefit - simply not in the picture.
Hopefully all these sins and inappropriate and possibly criminal behavior will come home to roost as people turn witness and informant to save their own hides. Perhaps we can hope for some Republicans with spine who will refuse this awful and dangerous tax bill, and perhaps we will convince our friends and foes alike that America has regained its sanity, its powers, its proper leadership so we will be worthy of a leadership role within the world's community, our enemies will stop harassing our planes and ships and our allies will once again join with us to improve the world, fix the environment, stop picking on the weak, the desperate and instead defend them, protect them, rather than find those who take joy in chasing them down.
Perhaps then we will have worthy people representing us in Washington, serving the needs of the people rather than their own egos, and will prove loyal to the country rather than to a Party.
I, for one, would declare this pageant for the right to claim the title of Mr. President as null and void as the remaining contestant was not worthy of the title and it was time to start all over again, time to regain our sanity, time to truly honor a true and loyal and unselfish Mr. - or Mrs. - President!
And hey, false Mr. President, yes a Merry Christmas to you, a Happy Holidays greeting to you but please remember that there are other citizens of this country and they would like to see a reminder of that in perhaps a menorah somewhere within that vast forest you have moved into the White House!! Happy Chanukah to your family, including the Jewish branch. No Happy Kwanza to you as I see no African American branches. Too bad.
People, wake up. Storm the walls. Demand satisfaction. Tie up the phone lines, the snail mail, email, twitter and whatever. Just fill it all with complaints and demands for an honorable president and government. If we don't who will?
So - Merry Christmas. Happy Kwanza. Happy Chanukah. And if I have missed the New Year holidays of others, I am sorry. May we all share in the joy of holidays and in their true meaning.
Happy Holidays!!
