Whose Fault?

Am home from my gig tonight, and am ready for another one of my patented rants.

Obama's fault. Bush's fault. Obama's fault. Bush's fault..... Hold it!! Enough of this shit already!!

Actually, Obama DID inherit a hell of a problem, and it's not a problem we can easily pull out of. When the stock market crashed in 1929, it did not reach that level again until 1953. However, I believe that Obama is doing a few things right, and is also doing a number of things wrong. I am not going to listen to talking heads from either the right or the left, but will do my best to think independently. Would Romney be a better president than Obama. I honestly do not know, but I do know something else. If Romney takes office in 2013, things are still not going to right themselves. It will take pretty close to a generation for that to happen, no matter who is in office. Americans right now have way to short an attention span, and want it now. Problem is that it isn't going to happen now, nor will it happen any time in the near future. It is going to take many years.

In addition, this is not Bush's recession alone. It was under Bill Clinton that laws were changed that allowed this mess to happen in the first place, and it was especially the gutting of the Glass-Steagal Act that armed the time bomb that eventually went off. Democrats and Republicans are equally to blame for this mess, but you wouldn't know it by looking at some of the responses you see on "Talking Head Assholes TV". And the responses vary, depending whether the asshole doing the talking supports the Republican party or the Democratic party. Yes, I AM making an accusation here. I am accusing Democrats and Republicans both of putting party ahead of country. There is a word for that, and it's not "Patriotism". "Douchebaggery" does come to mind. So, to the Network Douche Bags, I have a short message for you:

Dear Douche Bag, Go fuck yourself!!

If you want the truth, you can start by turning off your TV set, then taking a sledge hammer to it. After that, it is only necessary that you open your eyes and look.
