Even Presidents Should Have Fun Once in a While (4-25-2012)

Every time Obama has a beer, goes to a game, watches sportscenter, eats something or slow jams the news the other side has to criticize him and say things like "maybe he should spend more time finding people jobs or maybe spend more time doing his". Really? Really? The guy's got one of the toughest jobs in the world working crazy hours for an ungrateful group of people who have the attention spans and long term memory of goldfish and because of whose actions and lifestyle decisions the f****n Kardashians just got a 3 year $40 million extension. I swear this nation is full of spoiled hypocrites and haters. If it was their guy having pictures taken eating a burger somewhere they'd talk about how hard a job he has and that it's nice that the President gets to unwind once in a while. The president deserves a burger and a beer every night! Most of us don't work nearly as hard at such an impossible job and we stuff our fat faces every chance we get! Sometimes I think Republicans just like to complain about everything and anything until they are given what they want. Did I mention how I think we are spoiled in this country? In America, when people work long and hard at a tough job they tend to value their downtime. If you had the ability to spend yours on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon or at a baseball/basketball/hockey game, you know you'd do it.



You know I find it amazing that anyone other than an evil prick with a selfish agenda would want to get into politics with all the negativity and cynicism floating around. What does anyone stand to "gain" by getting into politics? Helping people? Maybe helping themselves and their buddies. Does anyone really, honestly think that any of these Republican candidates give a crap about poor and middle class people? About minorities? I just watched a 2 minute clip put forth by the Republicans making fun of Obama for appearing on a talk show while Romney went on talking about how he understands our frustration about the economy and the lack of jobs. Is he just saying what people want to hear? You're damn right he is! These guys aren't bringing in any jobs. They've spent the last 3 years tearing down every attempt Obama's tried to make to bring jobs and then criticizing him for not being able to deliver any. That, my friends is called “nerve”. Their idea of a healthy economy is letting the rich get richer, you know because they are the “job creators”. The rich are currently richer than ever right now… how’s that working out for the rest of us?



Over the next few months leading up to this election ol' Mitt will try to convince just over half of voting Americans that he's a regular guy who understands the common person. He'll try to convince us he truly understands our plight living check to check, job to job and living in debt. He’ll try to connect with the 99% despite being a proud, card carrying member of the 1%. Oh he'll try but anyone with half a brain will see through this. Unfortunately there is a large portion of America working on less than half a brain these days. People, Mitt isn't one of us. The man just put an elevator in his house... for his cars! He's not one of us, never has been and doesn't understand us which translated means, he will NOT be willing or able to fix our problems. Even if he had a tremendous change of heart and decided to be a selfless public servant, he wouldn't know how or where to begin. So he'll tear down Obama all he can and talk about how he has the answers. I have no doubt over the next few months we'll see Romney on any talk show, news show and in/on every public appearance he can find all the while attacking Obama for doing the same. It’s their way.



Has anyone noticed how gray Obama and other modern Presidents' hair has gotten during such a short period of time in office? What does this tell us? It’s a stressful gig. If anyone deserves to cut loose and have fun once in a while, it's the POTUS. So Barack should take in a game, a show or a drink every now and then. I think he’s earned it. He should come out this weekend and join me at the Battle at Buffalo. The battle can be a little lengthy but boy is it fun... and positive, something I’m sure he’d appreciate given the political climate in Washington. Besides it’s on Saturday night which perhaps the public won’t criticize so him so hard for. By the way, for those of you who may have forgotten, he hasn't even come close to vacationing or enjoying downtime as much as his predecessor did. I’m just sayin.

And if you do ever come around this way sir, the Guinness is on me!
