From my MAIL BAG~ more on the election...

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,
You have been drinking too much urine colored kool-aid or smelling way too much avgas...or maybe both.

Obama is a Marxist radical who has supported/endorsed black power, anti Semitism, anti-white racists, and thinks America is the ass-hole of the world. Having said that, I do support his thinking about a NCAA play-of, rather then the BCS.

If Nixon and Carter couldn't bring down America, maybe, just maybe, this misguided prick won't screw up the foundation.

And I'm really surprised that you are " gratified to see how the hopes and aspirations of so many have been raised by Obama's vision and his ability to articulate it”.

You don't happen to have any specifics, do you?

I didn't hear any and was thinking that maybe your interpretation of his "hope and change" shit might clear the smoke. You will have to work harder to eliminate the mirrors.

I'll grant you that the expectations of those with the kool-aid colored tongues are high, but I don't think he can live up to those expectations. Not his fault. He didn't promise anything but hope and change...he just didn't say what he was going to change. You might want to hold your nose and keep your hand on your wallet when he starts changing things.

Now he has to reveal his true agenda.

I'm not sure I'm going to like it and you might not either. He can only redistribute so much wealth and when the alligators don't get fed, they start coming out of the water and looking for that redistributing hand.

Look at the Automakers. Congress lays on tons of regulations, no one wants the sorry-ass cars, and now Congress has to bail them out. Change that! The US taxpayers have to bail them out. When they were greedy companies with their foot on the employee’s neck and producing gas-guzzlers, they paid billions in taxes. Now the employee is out of a job and digging deep to bail his old employer out of debt. And Congress blames the Auto industry! Those idiots could screw up an anvil.
One of the problems with your "Haves and Have Nots" crap is the service charge that the Feds put on the "largess" processing. And this "Haves and Have Nots" crap is pure Pinko Commie.

One against the other.

Smells like Russia 1917. Obama is just another socialist that thinks that the economic and social disasters of past socialist governments were caused by leaders that didn't know how do it right.

W's policies aren't carp, unless congress funds them. Last time I looked at the Constitution, the President can't spend a penny that congress doesn't give him. And the last time I looked at Congress it was full of Dems.

Remember Vietnam? Nixon had the war and congress cut the funding. The war died quicker than the thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodians left to fend for themselves. Killing Fields.
I too hope and pray and Obama is a leader. But most of the buttheads in DC are herders not leaders. Who likes paying taxes? No one. Would anyone like to see their tax money spent wisely? Everyone. It ain't that congress isn't getting enough money...it's how they spend it! They make drunken sailors look frugal.

You think we are going to see major changes? That place is too bureaucratic. And when Obama and the buttheads don't get things done, they will blame the less liberal buttheads and say they are obstructionist.

Tommy, if you think people that strap bombs on their kids and tell them to go see a movie, won't strap a nuke on an oil tanker; you are smoking that rope again. You are a little too casual about "primarily suicide bombers".

And for all who are reading...
Tommy and I have had this political gun battle going on for years. He was the smart one in class and a better football player. But I was and am better looking and didn't have to chase eighth graders when we were seniors. And I was a better pilot. I love and respect him, but he sure is tiresome. I think he got that at Auburn. He damn sure didn't get it in the Marines.

Joe - I love you like a brother, but it appears that your grumpiness is getting worse as time goes by. You seem to suggest in your reply that I, once again, have been "taken-in" and totally duped by yet another smooth-talking liberal/socialist skunk. I can tell you that I have never been "taken-in" nor duped by one. For example, when Bill Clinton wagged his finger at the TV camera and said, "I never had sex with that woman" - I knew he was lying - but I respected him for adhering to the time-honored southern male tradition of always denying any accusation of having extra-marital sex - if for no other reason - to protect the honor and reputation of the woman you are having sex with.

Now, Joe, I do respect your superior skills as an airplane pilot - and know of the reputation you enjoy among other retired Air Force fighter pilots... and even recognize your good looks and popularity with the women... not to mention your superior golf game that allows you to take large sums of money from suckers who are naive enough to bet with you... BUT may I suggest that you need to adopt a broader perspective on things... and you must get over this notion that anyone who doesn't agree with everything Rush Limbaugh says is automatically labeled a Pinko-Commie.

As for as my blaming George W - I am merely charging him with "leadership failure". If I learned anything as a young Lieutenant in the Marine Corps (almost 50 years ago) it is this: "any time something bad happens in any organization - IT IS ALWAYS A CLEAR-CUT CASE OF PISS-POOR LEADERSHIP"...
