Thoughts before Christmas

I am completely convinced that President Obama doesn't care about anyone except himself.  His cold recitation of the names of the dead Connecticut children, rendered with no emotion, sealed the deal.  Now, I've had a bit of acting experience, but, even if I were president, I couldn't have given such a dispassionate performance.  The president should be the most empathetic of all citizens, and when he says something must be done about such violence, I would suggest he  resign in favor of someone who cares, even a little bit.

 But wait, we don't want Joe Biden either.  Soon he will be blabbering about gun control, a liberal talking point without any basis in fact.  Of course, you know the next person in the line of succession  --  Speaker John Boehner.  At least we know he can cry.

Apropos of current sentiment, yesterday I dug  my old Waffenfabrik Bern 1878  M.78 rifle out of the closet, and am considering having it refurbished and tested at the local gun shop.  That is, if the large .41 caliber shells it takes are available.

BAD CHOICE:  John Kerry is being considered for Secretary of State.  You will remember how he came back from service in Vietnam and threw away his medals.  His selection would just be another way for President Obama to be insensitive.
