It is one of the 57 seven states

I missed the online Town Hall meeting held by The ONE today as, unlike many of those who seem to attend these types of events, I have a job. I haven't had a chance to check out any online replays but I did see a few of the questions. I am afraid that we have reached the tipping point. Why is every question asked of a government official these days centered around what the government is going to do for us. I've news for you folks, it isn't what the government does for us, it is what it does to us.

It does seem like the First African American President of the United States, along with his teleprompter, is everywhere these days. I doubt there is a sole left in our 57 states who hasn't seen him on Jay Leno, 60 Minutes, You Tube and I think I saw him in a cameo in the movie the Watchmen a few weeks ago. He was the one with all the super powers.

I guess when you are a former community organizer, part time Senator and expert on everything, you should be public in your views. Face it, what hasn't The ONE spoken about publicly? I will give you one thing.

In North Dakota, people are working feverishly to protect their belongings and homes from the rising waters of the Red River. It must be Global Warming, sorry make that Global Climate Change, creating automobile size ice chunks that are blocking the river on its northerly trip in to Canada. Or, perhaps, the Canadians think the river is a British activist MP and are denying it entry. Either way, the situation is severe.

Surprisingly, The ONE, just like he ignored the frozen, toothless, inbred hicks in Kentucky a few months ago when more Global Warming caused storms put out the power across the state making Hillcicles out of the country folk not lucky enough to have struck oil while hunting for food and had moved to 'Beverly, has ignored the goings on in Canada's basement.

He did declare a state of emergency. This is good as it frees up government assistance more quickly. But, face it, emergencies are declared nationwide at the first sign of a high wind or when polls begin to falter. And Barack Obama would never pass up an opportunity to increase government spending. Would he?

The fine, hard working citizens up in fly over country should be in our thoughts and our prayers. So far, their work is paying off but Mother Nature can be, well, a mother and it is but a matter of time until the levy breaks. Whether you agree with his policies or not, The ONE is our President. A word of encouragement on behalf of the country to those who, at this moment, probably feel as alone and helpless as an environmentalist on his way to the North Pole to show the effects of global warming stuck, without food, in a blizzard.

Perhaps someone can put a few well wishes in to the teleprompter for you.
