Peggy Noonan Makes Me Sick

Noonan began her latest column...

President Obama's decision to appoint Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson to his bipartisan commission on government spending is politically shrewd and, in terms of policy, potentially helpful.

Oh... bullshit!

Obama is the President. He ran for the job.

Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House. She ran for the job.

Harry Reid is Majority Leader of the United States Senate. He ran for the job.

DO YOUR JOBS YOU LOSERS...!!!

I just want to scream!

If Obama doesn't feel he and HIS entire Executive Branch of Government isn't up to the task of fulfilling the responsibilities of the Office... then resign.

If Obama doesn't believe Pelosi and Reid are up to their jobs, then as titular head of the Democratic Party President Obama should make known his desire that they resign their leadership offices and he should demand that the House and Senate democrat caucuses appoint new leaders with whom the President believes he can work.

These people are passing the buck and it's disgusting.

Noonan continued...

It is shrewd in that he is doing what he has been urged to do, which is bring in wise men.

Again... bullshit!

As I recall, a large part of candidate Obama's case for election was that HE was a "wise man!"

As for Congress... aren't the 435 Members of the House and 100 Senators supposed to be... expected to be... wise?

Hey... how'bout this... we just do away with the Offices of President, Senator, and Member of Congress and just turn all federal power over to the ten Members of this... er... Commission?

Again... to the President and Members of the House and Senate I say...

DO YOUR JOBS YOU INCOMPETENT, LAZY, NO GOOD PIECES OF...

(*GRITTING MY TEETH*)

Hey... I know... I'm spitting in the wind. I'm asking the impossible. I'm asking our elected leaders to provide... leadership. Silly me!

Here... let's try this:

Allow me to suggest that instead of creating a "Commission" (to provide cover and avoid responsibility), the three key dunces in Washington simply READ the following deficit/debt reduction/elimination plans that ALREADY EXIST --

1) A Roadmap for America's Future ("The Ryan Plan")

2) Red Ink Rising: A Call To Action... (The Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform)

There are other CONCRETE proposals out there, but I know that between the permanent campaigning, day-in-day-out fundraising, frequent junketing, vacations...

(*HEADACHE*)

...and other "responsibilities" of the Offices these folks hold they don't have much time for actual... er... reading; but just for yucks... just to try something "different"... perhaps "Barak, Nance, and Hank" could spend a few moments... er... WORKING...!!!

Just a thought...
