We\u2019re working hard, and I\u2019m very hopeful that we can get this passed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, most of the media is trying to scare us to death with an impending attack from North Korea &#8211; the same country that, a few months ago couldn&#8217;t get a missile over the Chine Sea is somehow going to nuke Austin, TX, not that it would be a terrible thing, anyway. Maybe they could take out Berkeley, CA while they&#8217;re at it.<\/p>\n<p>And, oh yeah, there&#8217;s immigration &#8211; John McCain and Chuckie Schumer got to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2013\/03\/27\/woman-tries-to-hop-border-fence-with-four-senators-watching\/\">watch how illegal aliens come into this country<\/a> last week when, as they were wasting our money by looking at the border a woman scaled the fence crossing over into the US. I&#8217;m sure they were stunned, but it seems to me that someone could have shouted &#8220;Hey!&#8221; or &#8220;Stop!&#8221; But I guess that would be beneath them.<\/p>\n<p>So, while our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2013\/mar\/31\/pentagons-budget-fears-fall-on-medias-deaf-ears\/\">military spending<\/a> threatens to damage operations and readiness, the President&#8217;s kids fly at taxpayer expense from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2013\/03\/unreal-obama-girls-take-second-vacation-in-one-week-from-bahamas-to-sun-valley\/\">their vacation in the Bahamas to their vacation in Sun Valley<\/a> &#8211; just like your kids.<\/p>\n<p>So while all of this is going on, who is working on the economy? Who is working on getting jobs back? I know, I know, that&#8217;s pretty much impossible for the federal government, but it&#8217;s what they promised before the election last year &#8211; and no one is holding anyone&#8217;s fee to the fire. I&#8217;m including Republicans in that criticism. John McCain is ready to throw the borders open &#8211; and witnesses first hand that they&#8217;re not closed anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The economy expanded at an anemic annual rate of less than 3% in the first quarter, folks have generally given up looking for work and everyone is perfectly fine with that, apparently. They&#8217;d rather worry about gun control or North Korea since we&#8217;ve all got food stamps and two years worth of unemployment benefits pouring into our bank accounts by direct deposit, so as not to waste time getting to Wal-Mart on our daily commute to buy cheap plastic Chinese-made crap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Washington Times this morning, David Sherfinski writes that poor Chuckie Schumer is having a &hellip; <a title=\"What&#8217;s important here?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34873\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">What&#8217;s important here?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-congress-sucks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34873\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
