Miss this Guy?

You know with all the bad news going around you will notice how we go back in history to find inspiration from past leaders.

The Obama people are touting FDR, if I have heard it once, I have heard it many times now that FDR was voted into office 4 times and therefore the man must have been doing something right. Oh, goodness gracious, do you think economist just cringe at those statements?

What he did right? Was politicking!! He convinced people 'doing' anything, just 'anything' had to be better than nothing. Um, we are paying for some of FDR's plans today and FDR would be the first to say that some of his plans that we still have he never intended to have for the long haul. Historians and political scientist grimace knowing that FDR is the President that tried with all his might to expand the executive branch well beyond its original powers. His famous try at stacking the Supreme Court is just one example of many that could be listed as proof.

Yes, we all know why the Obama people are touting FDR, Obama is expanding the Government like all get out and who better than to tout than FDR.

Now, all that being said it seems that the Republican party is having trouble finding a leader. Seems that some are calling Rush Limbaugh the leader. Seems Mr. Limbaugh has upset the Obama camp by exercising his right to free speech. I'm not sure I would call him the Republican party Leader? I am also not sure why the Obama people are so worried about what he is saying and why they are working so hard to discredit his words? Especially, if they feel he is out of touch with most Americans? Why acknowledge him at all?

I do believe that the Republican Party is hurting for a leader. I do believe they are missing this guy! Here is an email I received today saying that exactly. I wanted to share.

MEMORIES!

2009 Inauguration Day

January 20th is the big day for Barack Obama.
I am curious to see what his wife will be wearing on that day? The campaigning is over. Is it safe to assume that all the socialist, oh, I am sorry they refuse to be called that name, what should we call them, liberals, will be perfectly content with her expensive attire?
I am sure she will also wear expensive evening gowns for the balls? Do you think she will wear only one gown to all the the balls? What woman would do such a thing? Will the press comment on the fact that during these dire economic times that the President's wife is flaunting her money and buying outrageous clothes? I think not. I put money on it that the press will go on and on about her style and class. I do believe ABC has already referred to her Jackie O style like attire.

What I think is sad, is the fact that Americans have to pay to be on the parade route. What I think is sad, is the fact that there is way too much money spent on that evening. It would be nice if the President spoke up and said that it was a waste and encouraged less balls. I would have been impressed if maybe he suggested that this year there should be a scaling back. Go to this site to see how many balls there are that evening. There are eight official balls and numerous unofficial ones. In addition the tickets for the parade route are $1395.00 a person.

Bottom line in the United States if we can figure out a way to make money off an event we will, that is the beauty of capitalism. I just don't care for hypocrites, you can't claim that you are not for it and then take part in it so shamelessly.
