LITTLE OL' LADY ON THE BUS

It's the BUS!, Stupid!!!

One of my favorite stories, told by "Moms" Mabley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moms_Mabley, is the one about the Little Ol' Lady on the Bus.  Somewhere down South in the "old" days, a little old lady boarded a bus for a trip to the next town.  She spied a young man sippin' on a bottle hidden in a paper bag.  After observing him for a while, she tapped his shoulder and said: "Don't you know you're on your way to Hell?  The young man replied: "Here, Lady; take a sip; we're on the same bus!

Indeed! We all are, it seems, and we're still learning just how big the bus is!  You see, in addition to a piss-poor job of governing between 2000 and 2008, the Repoobs blew up the bus we all depend on.  Among my most stark memories of late 2008 are ones of our Treasury Secretary threatening Congress, and the U.S. Citizens, that ATM machines would no longer work, and demanding billions of dollars, immediately!  Another is of Dubya blankly asking "what's happening?".  Then there was McCain, frozen like a deer in headlights, with no clue of what to do.  Way to go!, Repoobs, seems like that qualifies you to take another whack at it.  At least half of the voters seem to think so.

During their time at the wheel, the Repoobs passed laws that made their actions "legal", or, at least, "not illegal".  They thereby escape accountability for their "actions" and "failures to act" while they held "leadership".  All of this appears too complicated for the average voter, and the Repoobs know it.  Hence, Captain Vacuous, the top Money Boy, is their choice to regain control of the bus.  And "failure to act" is their key strategy for tricking the public into voting for them again; aided by more Cash than ever-before seen in Presidential Elections.

The Repoobs, most of whom come from places where the prevailing "world view" does not extend beyond the county, now see themselves as "expert" on an economy that is permanently global.  Even though President Obama fulfilled his campaign promise of "fixing" the bus, he restored the Money Boys who engineered and paid for the Meltdown.  The Repoobs knew that they would always "ride in front", no matter what condition the bus was in.  But they left it in a ditch, with pieces missing. Even though they lost the keys, they still claim "ownership".  It is still to be determined whether the voters will be stupid enough to give them back the keys.

The President has to realize that even though he fulfilled his promises:  he miraculously halted the job loss, restored more jobs than the Repoobs created during their entire time in charge; and patched up the banks and brokerage houses for the Money Boys; WE ARE NOT A GRATEFUL NATION!!.. Voters don't care that you did what you promised; they care whether you will do what they want next!

Oh, who is consigned to ride in the back of the bus?  The poor and the powerless, naturally.

Stay Vigilant!
