Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

OMG-That's It! The Obama "Concession"

Just watched excerpts of Obama's speech today in which he concedes some responsibility for some Democrat losses. He "takes responsibility" but I don't think he means it. He seems to think if he says something that America will believe it.

Well that reminded me of something that I was going to post many weeks ago under a new title for future posts:  OMG-That’s It!  But I never got around to it. So I think I'll do it now.
Yes, this little post at the NRO’s ‘The Corner’ tells it exactly as it is. (note: no longer links)  Peter Kirsanow is so spot on, I almost choked to read such a succinct statement on   Obama has bothered me from the beginning. The post is “Obama vs. America” and few truer words have been written.  The following is the first and last paragraph:

President Obama’s statements regarding the proposed Ground Zero mosque are the latest in a series of indicators that we are at a very peculiar pass: We have a president who doesn’t get America. For the first time in history we have a president whose default setting is in opposition to the general sensibilities of the American people. His behavior too frequently suggests that he’s playing a cosmic joke on Americans’ essential decency, considered patriotism, and belief in American exceptionalism.
*************************
But perhaps most emblematic of Obama’s self-identification was his proud declaration, before a vast crowd in Berlin, that he is a “citizen of the world.” Most Americans believe that that world would be a much darker place without the United States of America. And they would be pleased if their president could express that belief without being patronizing, self-referential, or defensive.
But to do so, it’s helpful to get America and Americans.
And that says so much....Obama doesn't get America.
