You'll never guess what I saw....

... That's how the story always begins when I get home and am reporting seeing something odd, funny, or just plain stupid.

Since I'm convinced that what they said in Men in Black is true... "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animal..."


So...  While I was out and about yesterday, I spied with my little eyes a sign posted to a light pole which read:


IMPEACH OBAMA!!!

Now, I don't normally talk politics, it's one of my Taboo Subjects.  But in this case, I feel I must comment...
I dont really have an opinion of Obama.  I mean, every time he's been mentioned in this past year - his first year in office, all I've heard is that he's pushing a health care reform bill, and he's on vacation.  
The man has taken more vacations in THIS ONE YEAR, than the average American gets to take in 10 years!!!  

I can understand being upset with him, but if you think about the mess he inherited, I can understand why he's not really accomplished much this year. 

Being President of the United States of America is not a job I would ever want.  That's a big job, big responsibility, and some pretty fucking big shoes to fill. So I'm glad it's someone else doing that job, and not me.  Americans  voted for him because they wanted a change, unfortunately, the change they got was a president who's main priority is vacation.  


Okay...  so THIS LINK says he's only taken 26 days of vacation in his first year.   Considering the average American has to work someplace for one calendar year before accruing 10 vacation days and with some companies, it takes 5 years or longer before you finally earn an extra 5 to 10 vacation days.  


26 VACATION DAYS?????


Ok, Play time is over. Time to be the President, Mr. Obama.  Time to prove you were worth all those votes you got!

  1. Sorry, I really just dont have much passion for politics. So to put it bluntly, I just dont care, but give the man more than one year to try to fix the past 8 years of chaos... Really now people.
