A wednesday *sigh* and rant

*SIGH*

Taking in  and letting out one big deep breath here.

 Last night Senior and I took in the SOTU speech. I don't know if it is POTUS's voice, or his mannerism...but I really can't stand hearing or seeing the man. and OMG is he grey haired?
And such an arrogance and over inflated ego that makes me so angry  I  want to carve something with a spoon.  It was very apparent towards the end when he made the comment about his election, Jeers came from the republican side of the chamber, he followed that up with a real smart a--- remark.
So typical!

Did you hear the Veterans portion? here let me refresh it then:  " If you want it done right, and you want a hard worker, the hire a veteran"  OMG!!!! I firmly believe he made that comment because his numbers are so low with the military, that he had to do and say whatever he could to boost them.

 How can he tell companies to hire veterans, when everyone from the federal level of the VA all the way down to state and local VA offices don't. Since Senior has set out to get employed by the VA,  he has been rejected around 15 times. Senior retired in 2009, while going to school to earn his bachelors degree he  owned and operated his own commercial lawn company. 2 of those 15 rejections were for a position with grounds maintenance for either a national cemetery, or a state VA hospital.  You tell me that a man who owned his own lawn company does not have the necessary experience to mow grass for a VA facility?  Really?????

 Upon talking to other veterans we have heard some real heartbreaking stories, whether it is the substandard health care or employment practices we have heard and personally experienced the way an organization that is meant to help these men and women, isn't! .
Next comment was on veterans health care--  well Mr. President if this administration so loves its vets, then why are there organizations such as "Wounded Warrior" ??? How much of that 200 million you just gave to Pakistan could have bought those new tract like wheel chairs for our disabled vets?


 *SIGH* shaking my head....

Are You All Warm and Fuzzy?

Last night was the State of the Union Address.  Senior and I listened even though I can not stand the sound of POTUS's voice.  It is just kind of fun to watch expressions on the audience, and listen to the lies he tells.  Senior and I took part in the online political poll with Bing.  I kept hitting that "Strongly Disagree" button like I was a contestant on Jeopardy.

Instead of mentioning the  millions that are unemployed..he talked about the few who do have jobs. And how fantabulous it is that people are getting back to work.
He showcased a lady who has been on unemployment that wrote him a letter.. well my thought is if she is unemployed , and struggling to make ends meet, then how the heck did she afford to travel to Washington D. C ?
And then Senior said " We paid for it"     "DUH" !

Next was how spectacular Obama Care is.. No mention of the folks who have lost insurance because of it. The camera went to the face of Kathleen Sebelius..did you see how she rolled her eyes and shook her head?
Then he decided once again to trample on the Constitution, and warn of using executive powers to invoke his will on the people. That is when I got a good glimpse of John Boehners face, he looked like a man who just ate the worlds hottest pepper... 

Did you also hear the race card dropped?  " We must do more for the young black men of this country" or something like that..... 

BO  Painted the picture of  a Rockwellian Society...every thing is just warm and fuzzy. Don't you feel all better now?
