The Blatant Hypocrisy

Where to start?

I see that gas prices have skyrocketed over the past month, up more than a dollar here (MI is one of the most expensive states for gasoline). Hmmmm.... Why, in the past few years, was there such an outcry that "Bush is to blame," yet, today, nary a peep about Obama? (I'm not shilling for W here; I don't think he was a very good President.) Seriously, anything in the media, letters-to-the-editor? Do we hear our good Sen, Car Levin (you know, the new "Conscience of the Senate"), or Gov Jennie saying the same things about BO as they did about W regarding gasoline prices? Hey, at least be honest here, folks!

And to be an inspector general? Let's see, as the ubiquitous You Tube video shows, an I-G can be vapid or, if he/she does his job and uncovers wrong doing, can be fired by BO, if the wrong doer is a buddy of the President.

Speaking of Presidential dismissals.... Gee, I remember the outcry when Nixon "fired" Richardson (and was it Ruckelshaus?) because they were getting too close to the White House. Where is our media on BO's firing of the I-G? Strangely silent, don't you think? In fact, were it not for talk radio (for all its faults) and the Internet, who would even know about this? (As I've noted before, for years I refused to identify myself as a teacher, for obvious reasons. I would think many in the media, at least those with some modicum of integrity and decency, would follow a similar path. But, then, I'd be thinking wrong, as I often do.)

I'd like to make a few comments about the recent health care proposal, too, but Cody is fussing in his crib.... But, I will later; not as if anyone reads this or cares.

Out....
