  • Only in America

    I got this from a friend, a twist on Letterman's top 10 lists:

    10) Only in America...**could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

    9) Only in America...**could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black.

    8) Only in America...**could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

    7) Only in America...**can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

    6) Only in America...**would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.

    5) Only in America...**could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

    4) Only in America...**could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

    3) Only in America...**could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

    2) Only in America...**could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

    and number one........

    1) Only in America...could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes- be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

                  I'm still waiting for when she said Iraq astan wasn't her /Obama's war and the next threat is Iran....and for a sudden redeployment /distribution on troops .
                  Funny how if you listen to what these politicians said years ago they follow their lil stories out....

                    What kills me about this is that to me "Trouble Shooting or Problem Solving 101" you must know the cause in order to solve the problem. I guess those in Government and Media have never had to Problem Solve before. Basics are "Cause and Effect" and "Chain of events"

                    We know the effect/result was 4 dead Americans.

                    But what else was in play? What was the triggering event? What and where and how did the system fail that allowed the result? All that is lost because Hillary acted like a teenager trapped in a lie she was telling her parents.
