ran 3.7 miles

11 months!!!

Eleven months down and one to go before making a year of running against Obama! Also happy to say I’m only a few miles away from breaking 1,000 miles. The 5k and 10k season is starting up soon and I’m planning on running as many as I can, of course sporting a “running against Obama” shirt at each one.

I’m sitting here watching news, jumping from station to station, and all I see are Senators, Representatives and a president who all sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher from Peanuts.

Mwa mwa mwamwamwa mwa mwa mwa mwamwa.

The only thing I can believe with confidence coming from their mouths is the obvious message that they firmly believe the people they represent are idiots.

Especially our president. Obama recently accused House Republicans of wasting “precious days” with Boehner’s plan. In the same way small children communicate with one another, that is code for Obama acting out and saying “you poopie heads need to shut up. My way! My way!”

I would say I am angry Obama has wasted “precious years” with his plan.

"Republicans in the House of Representatives just spent precious days trying to pass a plan that a majority of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate had already said they wouldn’t vote for," Obama said in his Saturday morning message.

So if a bully tells me that he will punch me in the nose if I continue to walk and breathe in a manner that seems sensible to me, I should stop walking and breathing?

"I have to say, Democrats in Congress and some Senate Republicans have been listening and have shown themselves willing to make compromises to solve this crisis," Obama said.

Both sides keep using this term “compromise” to a point that it has lost all meaning. The transparency of how disingenuously and rapidly they utter the term is a testimony to how stupid they wrongly think we are and how crafty they wrongly think they are.

"Now all of us – including Republicans in the House of Representatives – need to demonstrate the same kind of responsibility that the American people show every day," Obama added. "The time for putting party first is over. The time for compromise on behalf of the American people is now."

Really? Responsibility? The time for putting party first is over? This debt ceiling issue is the biggest political football Washington has had in recent history. This is a game and one party or another is going to be in the end zone on November 6, 2012.

On behalf of the American people? I don’t know what people Barack Obama is talking about that he is helping out. I am unsure what he is even going to campaign on for 2012. His list of achievements has been fiscally exhausting and ineffective. Not a good combination. What has gotten better?

To answer my own question, Obama is going to campaign on the game of blame and an act of faith in a future that will require more than four years. Conveniently, he will campaign on the hope of a future that is taking longer than he thought. I have no problem placing every ounce of my faith in God as he governs all of existence, but I will not place a morsel of blind faith in a man who has achieved so little, made so much worse, and continuously digs America into a hole while telling us that we are not digging, but exploring. We are not imploding, but expanding. We are not in debt, but at a surplus of available funds belonging to other countries. We don’t need new taxes, but new revenues.

Governments are not businesses. They don’t have revenues. They collect taxes. Apple collects revenue. Home Depot collects revenue. The federal government does not collect revenue.

By the way, in case you hadn’t heard, Apple now has more money than the United States government. Chalk one on the board for Capitalism and erase a notch for federal regulations.

Apple for president!

1,085.7 miles to go.
