To be the Boss, “Deux”
Listening to today’s morning “News” hours, yep, “Stephanopolis’s,” and, “Meet the Press,” you know what I mean, I can’t help but pass on a bit of
commentary about our President, and his government shutdown. We all heard what he (the Donald) had to say
about his shutdown, how it may go on a while, up to, and including, a couple of
years, and I think he has a point—misdirected though it is. He is like that second grader who is
threatening to hold his or her breath until he or she gets what he or she wants,
and we all know how that turns out!
Well, the same thing will happen in this case, and unless what he really
wants is a time-out to go to Maralago to find some substitute for Smokey
Daniels to pull around by the short-hairs, which would be a shame, considering
the class acts that are our first Lady and his children, a government shutdown is really totally
unnecessary. Please consider the
following, Sir!
While you still own the title, let me say, “Mr.
President: Why not, instead of closing
down the Government, just close down the Office of the Presidency? Would this not allow you to go wherever you
wish, and do whatever you wish, to include that short-hair business, without
impacting our country negatively one bit?”
And, also, if that would come to pass, it would not terribly impact some
other pretty fine politicians, like Mitch McConnell, and Lindsay Graham, for
example, and would get your point across without negatively impacting (also)
hundreds of thousand governmental workers and millions of other Americans who
depend on the government for necessary governmental services.
Why not try that, Boss (and, oh yes, that term is used
intentionally—see https://stephenvgeddes.blogspot.com/2012/12/oldie-but-goodie-what-it-takes-to-be.html,)
and see what it gets you, but more importantly, see what it gets America America
