So said Teddy Roosevelt, May 7, 1918. It's a famous quote, one Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson referenced in an August 2006 speech at an anti-Bush rally. And it's one worth remembering in a land of obsessive, overgrown teeny boppers who mistake their EMPLOYEE for their boss.
Bully Boy leaves the White House shortly. You can clean house or you can be sniveling cowards who allow Barack to abuse the process and system the same way his kindred did.
Barack works for you.
Not the other way around.
United for Pathetic and Injustice wackos think you work for Barack.
Tell Leslie Cagan and crew, "F** you!"
That's one aspect of how we are rendered powerless in our own country.
We confuse the relations.
We employ our elected officials. The bums work for us.
When they fail to do their jobs, we can get rid of them.
It's not difficult to do that. We suffer from the belief that it is (and have such a high rate of re-electing incumbents) because we fail to grasp the power we have and, therefore, fail to use it.
Barack's had another lengthy vacation. He didn't just win American Idol. He won the presidency in November. Time for Candy Ass to get to work.
You see him standing around, you should pull a David Spade Reality Bites, "You got time to lean, you got time to clean."
It is DAMN time to ask what your country is going to do for you?
JFK, the War Mongerer who couldn't keep it in his pants, really did a number on the country in between getting drugged up by Dr. Feel Good Max Jacobson. He shoved the government's responsibility off on to the people.
No.
Other way around. The government is supposed to provide for the general welfare.
But it helped a lot of losers with empty, meaningless lives. Gave themselves at night to whack off to and finger themselves to. Some, like Katrina vanden Heuvel, still delude themselves into thinking the power-relationship shift was a good thing.
It wasn't.
The president of the United States works for you.
You do not work for him.
He is not a Saint.
He is an employee. He is your employee.
And he'll get his little Candy Ass into that White House and get to work, pronto.
Like the spoiled Deb he is, Barack's so busy rushing around planning one ball after another.
Word to SPOILED ASS Barack -- the country is involved in TWO WARS and facing a crushing economic recession. Umemployment is soaring. People are losing their homes.
Barack needs to turn the volume down. He's coming off like the greedy ass bastard he is and he needs to tone it down.
He's partying on our money and he hasn't done a damn thing to warrant the big, multi-ball party he's planning.
Never forget he works for you. He wanted this job. He sought it. He stole the Democratic Party nomination. So put the bastard to work.
Each day he needs to answer the following questions:
* What did you do to end the illegal war?
* What did you do to restore the Constitution?
* What did you do to ensure universal health care and not that punk-ass proposal you're trying to ram through?
* What did you do to make things better for Americans?
"And the world! "
Tell Medea I-Need-Attention Benjamin to shove that s**t back up her stanky ass.
The president of the United States works for the American people.
If he or she does his or her job, then making things better for Americans includes goodwill towards this country. That's what's known as "diplomacy."
But the president of the United States does not work for France or Australia or any other country which has its own leader. If the Rupert Cornwell's grasped that [see Cedric's "The Princess Tiny Meat Chronicles" and Wally's "THIS JUST IN! SHOWER PRINCESS WITH PRAISE!") maybe they could get on with their own lives and stop looking like pathetic "Old World" hags desperately seeking a new royalty.
There's been little indication that Barack understands his job duties and there's been even less indication that his Love Slaves Katrina vanden Heuvel, Matthew Rothschild, Bitsy Reed, Laura Flanders, Norman Solomon, Jeffy Cohen, et al grasp that.
He works for you. Tell him to stop primping and preening and get to work.
