Post SOTU interview.........

There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)

The real state of the union -- unemployment - so high because so many have actually run out of their UC and still not working. BUT of course you don't see those figures...

ObamaCare - is no care at all!

illegals everywhere - and who are they? Anyone who just walks across the borders wherever. as one put it - how many ISIS/ISIL have done that? Cartels using drones...

cops quitting all over the place - why - can't do their jobs any more without being called ... racists - gender bias - etc.

ehhh

Not to mention taxes going up............

We have to pay for Obamacare - plus support those going on Obamacare for the first time and their subsidies.

And now state governments are crying poverty because the price of gas has gone down and now they want to raise the gasoline tax again.........

Oh it isn't just gas taxes they want to raise -- they want to raise cigarette and alcohol taxes - you know go after a minority group of people to pay for all the excess spending.

(and worst of all - gotta be "for the children" and improve "education" or several other "tear jerk" things to get the people to approve tax hikes)

I am going to hope.......... we just elected a Republican governor - Charlie Baker, in Massachusetts.

After Obama wannabe Duval Patrick left office, Baker discovered the the actual debt of the Commonwealth was more than double what Patrick stated. And, a good chunk of that is due to Obamacare and the new regulations his health system has imposed.

Under the new federal regulations, Massachusetts has had to ditch the program that we had, that was working well, and switch to the new "exchanges", with all the bells ans whistles, coughs and sputters.....

Baker, so far, has pledged to not raise taxes o make cuts to cities and towns, although he is looking to shrink state government.

Any natural gag reflex aside, insofar folks like putting her down she gets right back up, so why fight the future?

Whether you like her or you don't like her, LEARN TO LOVE HER 'cause Hillary's the best thing going to-day! WOO!

And it's already been decided anyway. We have very little say in the actual process, except the illusion that our votes really matter somehow.
