O and Michelle uncoupling?

Rumors abound over O and M having serious marital problems. Several weeks ago I noted an article on this subject in the leading rag of our yellow press, the National Inquirer. Several days later this item was picked up by your Daily Mail which dutifully cited the Inquirer. I found this odd as the credibility of the item was seriously ratcheted upwards in the process. A week or so later, Rush Limbaugh, a popular right wing radio ranter commented on the item citing not the Inquirer, but the Daily Mail.

 

Yesterday, I was at the supermarket and noticed another headline in the Inquirer. These weekly magazines are traditionally stacked in a rack along with other red tops at the checkout counter. This time it was blatantly reported that the O and M marriage is over after Michelle had 'stormed out' of somewhere.

 

The above is indicative of how dreadfully boring domestic politics have become here in the States. The public has been made immune from anything intelligent or in-depth by habitually tuning in to Big Brother type newscasters claiming to have a monopoly on what's really happening in our nation's capitol. They drone on and on about the most trivial and distorted events while totally neglecting anything at all that is happening outside the country.

 

We are approaching mid-term elections in November. The word on the street is that the winners of these elections will be overwhelmingly republicans. This is because O has made such a balls-up of our economy, race relations, welfare system and national health care that even his stalwart democratic supporters are abandoning ship in an effort to save their political careers. The end result is a bunch of gutless, thieving and lying pretenders swimming in the Washington muck like drowning rats.

 

The sad truth is that the thinking American public is beginning to loose its confidence in our leaders and in the ability of our political system to tackle and resolve major, or even minor, public issues.
