Who-ville Speaks
Okay, I admit it, every time White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs speaks; I have visions of stringing him up like a piñata and hitting him with a stick until he stops spewing nonsense. Today, during the daily press briefing, we learned from the Babble-Head that it’s “troubling” that there is the potential of “drowning out the voices of average Americans.”
This was in response to a question about Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ remarks regarding Pres. Obama’s State of the Union comments pertaining to the recent Supreme Court Decision on campaign finance; comments that broke with both tradition and decorum. During the Q&A session following a speech at the University of Alabama, Chief Justice Roberts said the following in response to a student’s question:
“So I have no problems with that,” he said. “On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling.”
Of course, Gibbs completely ignored the part in Robert’s comments about the appropriateness of the time and place of Pres. Obama’s remarks on a decision made by one of the Constitutional Branches of our government. Instead, he showed real concern about the voice of the little guy – you and me; how touching.
Hey, this might actually be a breakthrough for this administration. I’m wondering if our President will start to pay attention to the voice of the people on the proposed healthcare legislation. Maybe he will show genuine concern for the fact that the latest Rasmussen poll shows that:
- 81% of voters say the current healthcare reform legislation will cost more then the government projections.
- 57% say the legislation will hurt the economy while only 25% think the plan will help the economy
- 66% believe the legislation will add to the budget deficit
- 78% believe that taxes will go up on the middle-class as a result of this legislation
I guess I’m feeling a little bit like the people from Who-ville in the Dr. Seuss book “Horton Hears a Who”. Could it be that Pres. Obama will perk-up his pachyderm-like ears and finally hear the faint voice of the American people exclaiming, “We’re here, and were not buying what you’re selling!”
Did you create your own blog or did a program do it? Could you please respond? 31
Hi Emily;
I use Wordpress installed on my own server instead of the Wordpress public server and I use a template I purchased from Elegant Themes. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page on my Blog site, you will see a link in the lower right-hand corner for both Wordpress and Elegant Themes.
Good luck on you own blogging.
Bill

Hi Lenard,
I try to write several times a week. I’m really glad to hear you enjoy them.
I took a short time off over the past few months due to some personal issues. But I’m back in the saddle again.
Thanks for the note.
