He's a Smoothie

Good Morning!  Today is Wednesday, May 20, 2009, isn't it? Sometimes it's hard to be sure, because lately each morning brings so many changes to our nation that I feel like I fell asleep like Rip Van Winkle and awoke to a whole new world order.  

I'm preparing a Banana Coffee Smoothie today.  Unless you were clairvoyant and froze two bananas last night, you won't be able to follow along with me.  I am  going to combine 2 frozen bananas, 1 1/2 cups low fat milk, 8 oz. low fat coffee yogurt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg in a blender. I'll blend till smooth (hence the name smoothie) and voila, I'm done.

It was my intention to say something positive about President Obama and his administration today because, truthfully, I would like to see him succeed as president.  The problem is that his vision of success clashes completely with my view of the kind of nation I want to live in. However, having said that, here goes.  I am very supportive of the President's stance on stem cell research and also on a woman's right to choose. 

For now, that is the best I can come up with,  because everything else he is trying to do is very uninspiring at best and very frightening at worst.   Clearly, the President's quest for power and control overshadows every decision and every shift in policy.  He says one thing and does another. He says he doesn't want to run the car companies, but that is exactly what he is doing. He says he does not want to be in the banking business, but he is, isn't he?  He says he doesn't want to nationalize health care, but it's coming isn't it?

Do you see what I mean?  I am trying so hard to be positive.  I am really trying not to be one-sided.  I am giving my all to present a fair picture of events, but I am having a very hard time.

I'm glad I chose to have a Smoothie for breakfast today, because it goes down so easily.  I wish I could say the same for the President's agenda.  I find that pretty hard to swallow.

  1. Obummer is the president, and I agree we want him to succeed. But, to succeed at what? Trying to make a socialist stae out of our country? As such, I want to see him fail, but the liberal weenies in Congress probably won't let him fail. For some unknown reason, these weenies think that socialized medicine works. That it works in Canada, the UK, France, etc. The problem is that it doesn't work. There are plenty of stories from our norhtern neighbors abaout how bad medical care is in Canada. But those stories are ignorede because the Obamunists have an agenda. Mr. President, as the Beatles said, "Let It Be." Bartender, JD rocks, no fruit.

  2. taxlarry,

    Today you were in such hurry to type that I thought i was reading a foreign language. Maybe you should pack some JD in a flask and let it calm you down before you comment. Having said that, I agree..Mr. President..Let it Be

  3. POP - I agree. Taxlarry was speeding to the finish line. He is probably working. Someone has to do it. There are many Canadians in my community. They all know what to do. If they need an MRI, just cross the border and get one.
    Ct Scan? Do the same. Their wait time is about 2 years. Why? they only have about 5 MRI machines in Quebec. If we have socialized medicine, where will we go for our MRI's, etc.?
    Cannot go north into Canada - going south into Mexico will not be an option for me. Now there's a thought. We can pool our resources, move to a border town, (learn spanish, of course) buy an MRI machine, and just count the money!!!!! I'll go on line and look at nice haciendas for us. We'll probably get a lot for our money!

  4. Kristine,

    Great idea, but wait until the Swine Flu has petered out. Canada has a great system, wait one year for a consultation with a specialist, then wait another 2 years to have the operation you need to save your life. Americans better wake up and speak out before we have the same miserable health care options.
