Other past PotUS have made mistakes with other things which seem to have caused a variety of repercussions; yet the current PotUS seems to be slicked down with some kind of oil where events just slide off.  The teflon no-stick surface?

Who knows where our beloved PotUS goes next.  Ports, weapons, listening to calls, reading emails, bad news about the war and why.  PotUS is in trouble and its not even a PotUS election year.

Poor PotUS.  Lets all decide that we can do better than what we have now. But we have to vote.  If you don’t do that, your voice is silent.  Perhaps we all start with California and we’ll give your Governor true “total recall”.  Let him remember what he said about schools, police, fireman, and nurses.  They got his number anyways.

For me its the separation of blog and ideologue. I like by blog swinging by other pendulums of thought and not hampered by trying to read or reread some aspiring, wannabe, already got it, or lost it politician. In the capacity of lost it, I got to say that I am finding real doubt here with Arnold here in California of late. When Arnold first came down, I thought, “great an end to a “gray” (sorry) day”. I kinda thought that Davis really had no plan, no idea. It was like California was just stuttering along, missing the boat for the energy crisis, not dealing with racial or ethnic divides, not really addressing things at a technology level. Well, besides the sweet heart Oracle deal that is.

But now, Arnold really seems off in some political la-la land. Insisting on a special election that no one wants yet he claims to not represent certain ideologues. Now its the unions and their greed. He could not win with the teachers, police, firefighters, and nurses. But I could see that one coming. They are simply too powerful and they have the side of right and might. Now he seems to take aim at the shifting sands of yet other political ideology and no matter what, he will walk blindfolded into the whirling precipice and never look aside. Poor Arnold. He’s lost the trees for the forests. He no longer see the visible and tangible.

But why stop with California Politics. Is there anyone out there that really believes that George has even a clue let alone a train or a manifesto. He could not win the day with Katrina because there was no one to bullhorn to. No US Navy ship to land on. So he just plain failed. But shit travels downhill and so does the buck. Its a greedy, self-oriented, lack of focus administration we have. So many places they have lost focus and cannot regain it.

But its what we got. Dammit.
