Tattooing of America

" Oh I don't know, it was New Years Eve and it seemed like a good idea at the time "

Hey here is a great idea... Why don't you let me stick a needle or other sharp instrument under your skin. Along with some ink or other colored pigment. Making sure that you can not remove it. You know like, wash it off, or sand it off, or lick it off . Yeah that's right, it will be permanent.  Even a better idea would be to write something or draw something that you may regret later in life. Especially when the colors fade with age and start to smear into one another and get deformed and blurred. Certainly it will be really attractive when you get old and the skin on your body looks like crepe paper. The remnant of a tattoo that was at one time smooth and vibrant with colors, all crinkled and crappy looking. Blues turning to greens and reds turning a sick appearance of dirty looking pink. With time, many of the larger more extensive ones.Covering large swatches of your body area, make you look as if you need a bath. Young ladies automatically take on an old worn, " she has been around look".  Having to cover them up when competing for decent job with a future.  Men look as if they need some kind of shield to protect them from their insecurities and imaginary monsters.  Thinking that a tattoo will give them an identity that their back round and family was unable to provide. 

Oh yes it is truly a wonderful tribute to your mother. Who, when you were a child, took care to lotion your skin and check it for irritation and skin dermatitis.Taking care for your diaper not to be wet. So as to cause diaper rash. Yes, she held you and touched you gently. Protecting you from the dangers of getting stuck with sharp dangerous objects. Dying inside when you cried as the doctor had to give you an injection to help you get well.  Not knowing that later on her little angel that she carried, for what could be considered a substantial length of time. Would allow someone to invade it with a sharpened pointed thin piece of metal. Which when applied to the skin will inject colored inky dye at multiple times per minute. Like a machine gun making holes as the bullets of ink enter the most important organ of the body.

As time goes on the tattoo once thought as a decorative addition to your appearance. Becomes a stigma. A permanent marking that identifies you to whom ever wants to describe you, by your individual markings. Sort of a scarlet letter or resembling the tattooing inscribed on the slaves of the Roman masters that originally put it into practice. In order to show who the slave belonged to. Or like a brand that they put on herd animals. The worst being like the numbers put upon the arms of concentration victims by their Nazi tormentors. Yeah .. now that's the ticket. Let's mark ourselves so that we can never escape identification from those who want to search us out for what ever reason. Then regret it for the rest of out lives. Hoping that they will be able to provide for their children a foundation that will avoid the need for them getting a tattoo.

The Ships Of A Fool

You only pull your gun from your holster if you intend to use it. Mr. Obama sent 5 major warships to the Mediterranean Sea. Along with a carrier with all it's support ships to the Persian gulf. It turned out to be a fleet that can be termed as " the ships of a fool ". Who can not agree that the so called leader of the free world is not a leader at all. He has instead shown himself to be a fool with a big mouth and an empty head when foreign affairs are concerned. He deployed ships, planes and personal to float around. Not knowing what to do after the ships, armed to the teeth were deployed.  He then telegraphed to the world what he would do with them. After thinking and analyzing. Then thinking and musing and  finally deciding. His conclusion abrogated his sacred responsibility of taking or not taking action.  He declared he had the power to do.  He passed the buck, rather than taking the bull by the horns.

First to the Brits, who refused to go along because there was no plan and had long ago surmised Obama was not a man you followed to war. Then he wanted the congress to make his decision for him. In typical Obama style of "cover your own ass" political strategy. Similar to the "non positions" and "non votes" in the Illinois state legislature when he held a seat there. But due to his many "present votes" or not being there for votes on state issues, he really did not occupy that seat. Most of his time in the legislature, he got paid for work not performed. After all, voting on issues is the reason you are elected. Only this time his attempt at potentially shifting the responsibility if things went awry in Syria, back fired on him.

Then being saved by a quirk statement made by John Kerry that was described as rhetorical by his own state dept.  He threw himself on the mercy of Putin of Russia. Imagine, a Russian leader, who is as close to a despot as you can get. Pulling an American presidents gonads out of the fire. Allowing the U.S. to be embarrassed and humiliated through out the world. Yes he deployed ships of the line fully armed and ready for action. But is was an armada commanded by a fool. Mr. Obama has done more to destroy the stature of America and it's position in the world that it took decades to build.  In a matter of 5 short years.

His mind bumbling and stammering. Clouded by the need to concoct a reason not to man up and do what needed to be done on his own. Obama shrunk away like a penis exposed to a cold swim.

So..What Now College Boy?

Mark Twain said, " I never let school get in the way of my education".

As with other decisions that require leadership the president's handling of Syria and the punishment he promised. Mr. Obama is looked at as a school boy being beat up by the class bully.  It has been shown that Mr. Obama has absolutely no understanding of what it takes to be a leader. The President's promised action, then non action, when declaring consequences for crossing his red line was pitiful. His incompetency has been brought into a light, so bright and intense that it is impossible to dodge the illumination. It is almost like a search light that has found an escaping prisoner crossing the darkness of the yard. While heading for the wall to escape the penitentiary.  His indecisiveness and inability to act as the leader of the once most influential country in the middle east. Has resulted in Russian President Putin's rise to be in control of all that will happen from now on in Syria and the rest of that part of the world. Putin has now the been put into a position that can be described as broker in chief.  As they say in the ghettos of the urban centers of the country, " the man ".

Mr. Obama's threats ended up as bluster when he decided to go to congress in an effort spread the blame if an attack on Syria did not end up as a limited exercise.The mistake that Mr. Obama made was one of naivete. Any seasoned politician will tell you that you have to count the votes first, prior to asking for a vote. In his arrogance Obama threatened and declared he had the authority to carry out an attack on Syria without the confidence to do so. It was too politically dangerous to do so. He decided to give himself a way out by asking congress. Then thinking of blaming the Republicans if anything went wrong,  no matter how they voted. Mr. Obama thought he was dealing with politicians of the big cities and large corporation execs when extorting them with boycotts and endless legal entanglements, in order to get what he and the poverty pimps wanted. The weapons of choice for community activists when making demands in the name of social justice. He found out he was wrong. Not only in his efforts to give himself a back door strategy when things went wrong after a military strike. But also with dealing with Russia's Putin.

The most obvious of all indications of the lack of leadership, was his contradiction of his Sec.of State Mr. Kerry. Obama just threw him under the bus after Kerry gave a press conference on the importance of acting militarily in order to prevent future use of chemical weapons. Mr. Kerry looked exactly what he has been for years. A horses ass, that has in the past been exposed for his lies and traitorous testimony in 1971, that condemned his own brothers in arms as baby killers. Now being embarrassed by Obama, his brother in "the blame America first crowd", was karma at it's best. It is obvious you can not rely on either to, " have your back Jack". Mr. Obama should never been allowed anywhere near the W.H. Except if he has to go to the little girls room.

Now Mr. Obama is, because of his lack of ability to lead, ia up against Mr. Putin. Who is wiping the floor with the self absorbed, egotistical and arrogant American President. Obama and the left are trying to spin the situation to benefit Mr. Obama. No one truly believes that Mr. Obama is the winner in his latest snafu.  Everyone can see that the United States of America who was once the top dog is being wagged by the tail. represented by the Russian President.  After taking advantage of a statement by Mr. Kerry about putting control of chem weaponry under international control. Mr. Putin is now in control and seen as the hero of peace while having been the main supplier of arms and WMDs to Syria. After out maneuvering Mr. Obama and the entire Obama foreign policy or really lack thereof.  Mr. Putin seems to be saying to Mr. Obama. " What now college boy".

" I Did Not Draw The Red Line". Huh ?

Why Are People Saying Obama Drew a Red Line ?

What Line ? Obama said he never "drew a red  line". He said, "they would get a fine". Or, "we need some more time". Maybe he said, " this is good wine". Perhaps he really said, " it would be a crime". Hey it could have been,.  "having a good time". But he never said anything about drawing a red line.

What the hell is wrong with everyone. Obama will institute ear examinations forthwith, on the American population and Obama care will pay for it. It is a matter of national security, because people don't understand his statements. He is being miss quoted and is going to complain to Erick Holder as soon as he gets back to Washington. He also said there will be, " no boots on the ground ". Which can be interpreted as no boots will be found.  Or, " I never made a sound ".  Maybe he said,  " I am California bound ". Or, " I wish I had a basset hound ".  I thought I heard him say, " I buy my bacon by the pound ". 
On Obama care. Did he say you can " keep your doctor", or you can "keep your proctor" ?  

To Quote Casey Stengel.....

" Doesn't Anyone Here Know How to Play This Game " ?

Casey Stengel said this to the New York Mets baseball team when he was the manager of the loosing franchise. I think if he was around today, he would be standing on the White House steps and repeating his famous quote. It seems the Obama team does not know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to anything other than buying votes with tax payer money. The three stooges of foreign policy. Obama, Hagel and Kerry. Are now going to stand around wondering how to make a decision, without making a decision.  So like so many times under this president the standard operating procedure is to stand or sit or kneel or crouch in a circle. The purpose is to make sure no one can pin down what direction they are facing. This latest debacle as far as Syria is concerned. Is just another indication of putting your finger up your butt.  Then blame the finger.  Mr. Obama, our great leader has put his foot in his mouth when he uttered the "crossing the red line comment". Now he wants congress to help him extract it from that oral orifice that has the golden forked tongue wrapped around his big toe. Trouble is that he only has one hand to do it himself. The other hand is occupied. You know where it is and what it will be doing if things don't work out. He will be pointing blame.  Why would anyone want to follow a leader who does not know where he is going himself.  The only thing he has done is telegraph the pitch that is going to be thrown. This guy Obama does not know how to play this game. The aim of the game is prudent and effective leadership and not letting the other team know what your strategy is. I guess the element of surprise is gone. I think that would be safe to say ?

Sen. Barbara Boxer for one will vote in favor of the attack. Limited though it may be. She says because chemical weapons are involved and it is our moral duty. Isn't that interesting. She had absolutely nothing to say when it came to light that Saddam killed 5000 Kurds with chemical weapons. Where was the outrage then from all these senators like Boxer and Smith ?  This exercise is a result of a president that has no clue of how the game is played.  He is a card shark's dream. I would love to play poker with Mr. Obama. At the end of the night I would be living in the WH. Why should anyone follow this guy. When we still have no answers on Bengazi. Heck, we can't even get the guys who attacked the embassy in Libya.

No boots on the ground, limited warfare. Well in my long memory and historical knowledge, we have never been able to attain that after military action is taken. Limited action is dangerous. Have we all forgotten when we put 250 plus Marines in Lebanon as a small show of force what happened. We lost them to bombs of those who didn't want us there. Now Assad will move all the weapons we want to eliminate they will be put in Syrian schools,  hospitals and so on. Then what, when the children and sick will die and it will be us that kills them ?  Fact is this is out of Obama's league. He is a light weight that will be coming head to head with Putin. Who do you think will win ?
