Our Leaders are Threatening us. And, that should be illegal. Political shenanigans.

The 2012 election is just over a year away.
Anti-Obama folks are looking forward to it as the end of an error, just one of the catch phrases making the rounds. There are a LOT of the anti-administration slogans out there, many of them pretty good. The cartoons, especially the political cartoons from abroad, are downright hilarious. Or, they would be if they weren't so accurate.
Sure seems like the administration is on the defense, the political hot seat. With not-so-good approval ratings, Obama is looking for a miracle. Of course, he took credit for ordering a hit on Public Enemy Number 1, Osama bin Killed. Took credit for it, but that Kill Order was signed a long time agao. About ten years ago, in fact.
Ok, so the President has to look elsewhere for his accomplishments.
The economy? Oh, puhleeze! How's that change working out for you?
Healthcare? Yeah, right.
Unemployment? Can you read?
The following came across my e-mails this weekend. Might be worth a read. And, feel free to share the link to the blog if you want to pass this along. Might be easier than copying and pasting the entire thread in an e-mail. Seems the author is a little tired of Obama's threats when republicans not go along with his economic recovery plans and debt ceiling increase.

He threatened to not pay: Social Security Retirees, Military Retirees, Social
Security disability and Federal Retirees.

Now.. Let this sink in really good -
He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens
He did not threaten to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away
from violent inmates

He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired
He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around
He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff
He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients
He did not threaten the food stamp programs
He did not threaten to not pay foreign aid
He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base voters

Like I stated, a lot of the anti-Obama comments are pretty good.
This is one of those.
Certainly makes me stop and think.
As it should you.
