Nothing up my sleeve...

I'm having a real hard time getting worked up over the President's scandalous week.  Whether it's Benghazi (as President Obama said, it's brutally obvious there's no there, there), the IRS scandal (really?  these Tea Party groups are basically fronts for the filthy rich to make them richer and the rest of us poorer with the government paying for their additional wealth), or the AP scandal (any politician or reporter screaming about this, who wasn't screaming for a  vote against the Patriot Act, should be bitch slapped) it's just a lot of republican bullshit to deflect us from inconvenient facts,

Chief of which would be this:  a recent study showed that from 2009-2011 the net worth of the richest 7% of Americans increased 28%, while for the lower 93% it decreased 4%.  We're not talking we just got less of it than the ultra-wealthy--we got fucking none of it.

And what republicans would prefer that none of us know is that they have done nothing to help the lower 93% and they never will.  It would be easy to blame it on their utter incompetence in governing, but the plain truth of the matter is that they don't give a fuck about ordinary Americans--they haven't since at least Reagan was in the White House.

Sleight of hand is cute when it's Bullwinkle J. Moose, but not so much when people can't feed their families.

Peace,
