Day624 Monday 05/14/12

ran 3.8 miles

Europe is crumbling, the Middle East is rising, and America is $15,722,594,525,973 in debt.  Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...in the time it took for me to type this sentence our debt has gone up to $15,722,595,847,965. And the best idea our president has to campaign with at a time of woe and deficit like this is to "evolve" into endorsing gay marriage.

Charles Darwin is turning in his grave right now because Barack Obama just took a term dear to the great evolutionist pioneer and turned it into meaningless mush.  "Evolve" is now going to become a political term and scapegoat for flip-flopping over a period of two or three years on certain issues as defined by a politician. What once took hundreds of millenniums to observe even slightly has taken Barack Obama a matter of a few years to speed up.

This man signed into legislation the most radical, expensive, and controversial health care bill in American history and he does not have one word to say about it. Usually, when a president achieves something he believes to be monumental he uses that piece of his record to campaign with. 

This man signed a stimulus package that has done very little to meet its ends, only putting us and our unborn children into further debt we, and certainly not our children, deserve to pay. He does not campaign on this. Instead, he holds fundraisers with wealthy individuals who represent everything Occupy Wall Street despises, he and his counterparts the whole time supporting the movement and the movement itself rarely ever expressing the obvious hypocrisy.

Then came the midterm elections. Democrats were booted out across the American landscape. Those who were elected campaigned on one single message. And that message was "We are going to stop all of this wasteful spending". To their credit much has been curbed. The 112th Congress will go down in history as one of the most unproductive Congresses of all time, but I think that was the job they were elected to do under the leadership of a president like Barack Obama. I congratulate them.

After 2010, Obama slowed his golf game and increased his executive orders. He lost the power, through the actions of his first two years, to further set this nation back and since then he has done very little worth campaigning on. This is why, only six months before the 2012 presidential election, the best idea he and his minions have is for Barack Obama to be the first president in the history of the United States of America to fully endorse gay marriage.

I don't mean to downplay this epic moment in homosexual history, my only point is that Rome is burning right now and our leader is making a distraction out of the gay community. No offense, guys and gals, but there are some much more important matters to deal with in our immediate future.

151.9 miles to go.

Here is what happened one year ago on Day259.
