Tea anyone?

I am excited to say that i attended the local tea party here in Amarillo, Texas. Wow!! What a sight!! There were over 300 people in attendance at the parking lot of the local Post Office of which I work. People coming in to send off their last minute taxes and have their voices be heard.



My sister is a staunch Obama supporter. She had her "I Support Obama" poster ready. But the Obama supporters were in short supply. Hey!! I am in TEXAS. lol The mere fact that there were so many ppl willing to show up and show support on a single issue, be it for or against, was the amazing thing. When is the last time a group of Americans showed up to show support for anything? Usually we are just sitting back and letting others voice our opinions for us. This was a clear cut and dry stance against the budget plan Obama has set forth. I for one am tired of bailing out multi-million dollar companies so they can go on spa retreats!! T.E.A Taxed Enough Already alright!!



The tea parties were to get across the message that we don't want socialism in our country. Don't fool urselves into thinking that health care for all is a great thing. That means more taxes and government deciding who does and does not get health care!!! If you're in your late years (60's and higher) you will not be getting that hip replacement you need. That would only be for the younguns who can benefit for more than 10 years with it. Also, we want our borders protected and I'm tired of paying taxes that those illegal immigrants never even thought of!!! I am not so ignorant as to think this all came about with the Obama presidency. I know Mr. Bush had his fair share. But, and I know this will make me verrryy unpopular, I think Mr. Bush did a stand up job. Mr. Obama is just making a bad situation worse!!!

Gifts to the UK

So, i have been brooding on the gifts that Obama gave to the prime minister of England and the queen. I know it's been awhile but come on... So, I really feel that Prime Minister Brown really put a lot of thought into the gift he gave Mr. Obama. I mean this is a priceless antique. A pen holder made from an anti-slave ship. A gift given to the first black President of the United States. That, dear folks, is class. And what does Obama give in return?? A box set of American videos that you can't even watch in the UK because they have a different system than ours??? Duhhhh.... Hello they drive on the left side and have the metric system in place!!! My biggest question though is... Why does the media keep making excuses for our President who I believe said was ashamed of the American citizens for not knowing foreign languages of the countries they visit!!! If ur so damn ashamed, why r u my president!!! Now the media is saying, well.... these videos were hand selected by a special team specifically for this gift. Serious?? Really?? This is what's in the box...




Uhm... yeah. Star Wars. Psycho. Vertigo. All great movies!!! Don't get me wrong. But for the British Prime Minister??? I am going to have to say I am deeply embarrassed by our President's lack of respect for our fellow leaders. And then to top it all off he give the 80something Queen of England an i-pod!!!








So, yeah it was pretty cool that there was every visit she ever made to the United States on it, but are you thinking what I'm thinking?? She's 80!!! Can she even see it??? And if she wanted to see her visits to America don't u think she could say hey!! James set that up for me. Geez!! These great gifts you could have bought @ Best Buy for $29.95!!! Give me a break.
