As I sit on the bus on the way home from work, I can’t help but wonder what our dear President is up to right now. I also can’t help but wonder what traffic will look like.
These are normal musings I have. I think about Obama frequently, by usually it’s more like “how do I get people to wake up and vote this moron out.” Today, I wonder what he’s up to because he’s here in town.
The Pres. came to Everett today, stood up at the Boeing plant and yapped a bit. Seeing as Boeing is unionized, and unions are bread and butter to the Dems, that seems reasonable. Then he hopped into the helicopter and headed south, landing in Kirkland, and should be at one of his two fundraisers tonight.
My bus goes through Kirkland on the way home. I really hope Obama being in town hasn’t screwed traffic on the 520 bridge too horribly. If he’s sticking around on this side of the water, we should be ok, but if he’s headed across into Seattle, I may be here a while.
Anyone else tired of paying for the fuel, maintenance, and staff aboard Air Force One (not to mention all the Secret Service and miscellaneous other expenses that go with a travelling POTUS) so that he can come out and visit to get more donations and continue campaigning? I think if a sitting President want’s to campaign, he should pay for all of his own expenses, not get paid for the time spent doing so, and effectively not be the President while he’s campaigning. The VP takes over his duties, and does as the VP wants for the time the Pres. spends on the road.
Even better. No more two term Presidents. Most of these people do enough damage in 4 years, we sure as hell don’t need them for 8. Let someone else come in to clean up their mess and make a new mess all their own.
American politics really is ridiculous. We must be some seriously mental individuals to be involved in this.
