Contact Departure Now on 125.85. Good Day.

We’ve all heard the advice about not sweating the small stuff and the last couple of days have revealed a classic example. I refer, just in case that you haven’t heard about it, to the heinous case of the Tower controller at New York’s Kennedy Airport.

Now, if the controller had taken his daughter to work we wouldn’t have seen nearly the “hoo hah” but he or she took a little boy and allowed the kid to issue instructions to departing flights. The on-duty controller did ask permission from the flights due to depart and they concurred. And. of course, all transmissions were monitored.

I’m not going to go into the protocol of these exchanges nor am I going to pretend that the whole idea was strictly kosher. But I do contend that this is no more horrendous than having a little boy trying to control the country, nay the World from the Oval Office.

At least the little boy in the JFK tower was listening to advice, he could be overridden and he was doing it with the consent of those he was seeking to control.

We have a President who is out of touch with reality and with the people he seeks to “rule”. His word, not mine, because his predecessors sought merely to govern. But his choice of words speaks volumes as we see he and the liberals try to ram the healthcare monstrosity down the American throat.

There were 2 Rasmussen polls over the weekend that spoke volumes.

The first on healthcare showed that only 27% of Americans want anything to do with any of the 3 alternatives being floated and later today that’ll be 4 as Obama presents yet another.

More and more, this man reminds me of Josef Goebbels who expounded the view that a lie becomes truth if you repeat it enough,

Or was that George Orwell?

And who can forget “Baghdad Bob” as he kept announcing that the Coalition forces were being routed on all fronts back in 2003.

I. for one miss him because as least he was funny.

The second poll was even more interesting at the macro level of Obama’s approval.

He dared to set foot in Nevada in the vain hope of saving Harry Reid from electoral ignominy . I say “dared: because Obama has tried on at least 2 occasions to destroy the tourism of Las Vegas. And even the mayor of the city refused to meet with him.

Anyway, the poll revealed that, after Obama’s visit, Harry Reid’s approval had been boosted by 7% while a full 17% felt that it had been diminished. The rest were undecided and don’t knows but the bottom line is that Obama cost Reid 10 points.

And then there was Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey. What’s next?

And speaking of the important things in life; What about integrity?

Less than a month ago, Obama pontificated about the federal deficit even though he and his party are now responsible for more than 2/3 of it and even though Congress passed “Pay as you Go” legislation

As soon as the law was tested by a lone senator from Kentucky, one Jim Bunning, he was hounded by the left and the media which really is the same thing for the most part. All he tried to do was to make a bunch of spendthrifts live up to their own commitments. He wasn’t and isn’t opposed to the expenditure but he wanted to see from whence it would be paid.

Someone on MSNBC described him as a “kook” and someone else described him as an “Angry White Man”.

Is balancing one’s checkbook a bad idea?

Actually. I think that the Angry White Men are on MSNBC!
