I like to go on vacation. as do most of us. I know one person who just loves to go on vacation. The President and his lovely family. I've been selling bananas for 45 years now. I go out every day and sell my bananas. To each and every one of my customers I give a smile. Funny thing though I can count the amount of vacations I have taken.That have been more than just a few days in a row. On my fingers. Because I had to work very hard to close up and tie up all the loose ends before I did. Especially when I had a load of bananas coming in. As we all know bananas have a shelf life. You know a time limit. You have a deadline so to speak to sell all the bananas before they are not good anymore. Kind of like the Bush tax cuts. You know a time limit. In the case of bananas it is only a few days. Now because of one reason or another there is only a few days for the Bush tax cuts to expire. Just like bananas. Mr. President this is not the time to go on vacation. Even for a week. All this hype about the "fiscal cliff ", crises. Which I think is a fiscal hole crises. Probably is just that, hype. Listen while you are packing for your vacation and saying, " I'll be back because this is so important". We are thinking to ourselves or should be. Why are you leaving at all? A crises means that you should devote all your time and energy to it. Isn't that what it takes. Until it is solved or quelled. I would think that would be the proper reaction. But then again you Mr. President were never in business nor were you ever employed by any commercial entity. Where that kind of action was necessary, or you would lose your job. Or would prevent your family from having food on the table. No, it is something you don't learn in Harvard or Columbia. It is a sense of responsibility you learn from watching others or having no food on the table.
So while we all are told how serious, this need not to go over the "fiscal cliff " is. You go on vacation while the rest of us wait for the hammer to fall. Heck, it does not affect you. You have already been guaranteed a job for the next four years. Your future secure in knowing that the 30% of your income derived from off shore accounts and investments for the past 3 years. Will still be producing. Your nice bed on the second floor of the that nice big White House. You and your family live in will also still be waiting. While we don't know what the second of January will bring. What's the rush? The way I see it there is none for you. Sure you deserve a vacation. But now! I don't really think it is the time to lay in the sun in Hawaii. Yes, I know you have a family and you want to be with them. I think that is commendable. But excuse me Mr. President. When you take on the job of President of the United States of America, your family comes second to millions of other families. What disturbs me and others is that you seem to have a patten of leaving Washington when you do not get your way. Or if things are not going your way. It is akin to a small child picking up his marbles and going home. Mr. President this is not what a serious adult does. So start growing up and acting like a man. No more little ta te boy.
In the early 1900s a serious financial crises arose. The only people who had the power to fix it were the captains of industry and banking of that time. J.P. Morgan, a name we all recognize. Got all of these men in a room and locked the door. No one could get out. He would not let them out until something concrete was done. Is that what we have to do with you. The second thing that disturbs me in all of this. Is the fact that you are hanging on to a position that will not change the fact that we are very much in debt. The call to tax the rich to pay their fair share is not going to change anything. The amount we get from your demands do nothing to get us out of "the hole". They already pay their fair share as the figures and facts plainly show. After all there is no disputing that almost half the country pays no income tax at all. Someone is paying them and it is the so called rich. So what's the problem here. I think you are the problem. Your ideology is getting in way of progress. You will have plenty of time to go on vacation when this all gets sorted out. So if I were you I would stop demanding and start commanding. It is called leadership. Something it is becoming more and more apparent you have not been able to grasp. You are not a cry baby community leader anymore. Which is just another term for trouble maker anyway. Don't be a trouble maker all your life. Stay where you say you belong. In Washington not in Maui.
