America is a great country when it comes to memorable events or speciall people. We have a national anthem, a national flag, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, A National Bird, and the list goes on and on. Now we are on the verge of a National biscuit or cookie. Obama has us well on the way. Just think about it  –  we now can see the fruits of Presidential equivocation,

I will end the Iraq war and bring the troops home  —-  except for the 50,000 who will remain.

I will close Guantanamo  —–  If we can figure out what to do with the “worst of the worst” prisoners.

I will urge the bad guys to behave    —   based on clever persuasive rhetoric rather than muscle  —NO really doesn’t mean NO

Government will be open and we will share information with the people. Transparency will be the watchword  —  except for the data and info we choose to keep secret.

When the newscasters accuse Obama and the Dems of using weasel words,  I think of a national breakfast favorite —–  the WAFFLE. It seems to fit the Democrat’s favorite rock hard position  –  waffling.  Hot off the gridle!  With or without the syruppie camouflage.  Fresh waffling every day!

A national cookie  –  The waffle.

Last week the Prez hosted a dinner for the Press corps and there were numerous offerings from the invitees. One of the speakers was a relatively obscure black comedienne named Wanda Sykes who offered the lowlight of the entire program when she hoped that Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail.  The death wish brought laughter from the left wing press as well as the Prez. Pretty sad, really. But as her supporters said  –  “remember, it is only a joke”. If so, it was very sick humor.

Why not take it as a joke and give her the benefit of the doubt. But humor cuts both ways. Maybe our advice (and response) to Wanda would be “to fly your left wing colors and participate in a same sex marriage. That way you can’t contaminate the nation’s gene pool.  But remember , Wanda, ho ho ho it’s only a joke. Got that??  Tee Tee  Ho Ho. Joke, right??

There are memories, clear memories and selective memories.  Most if not all policians possess all three. Obama pledged open transparency in  government  — remember? And Nancy Pelosi followed suit by beating up on those deceitful Republicans. Remember? And now we have the public brouhaha over water boarding and “torture tactics” used in Iraq interrogations. The media simply gags at the thought of embarrassing Bam Bam or Nancy. So they switch the subject back to the economy.

Seriously, can you imagine being personally briefed on the “Interrogation ” techniques that were never intended to be used?  Why on earth would the CIA schedule briefings to high ranking people (40 briefings in all) on methods that would NOT be used. So now Nancy fumbles over her own words regarding waterboarding. Remember, this is the  #3 person in our government. Her politico buddies say that she may have mispoke. Lying is such a nasty word.

And then we have the “openness” idea from which Obama hides. There were any number of memos at the CIA and Obama was familiar with all of them. He — only he  –  selected the two to be released publicly and of course they cast doubt on the value of aggresssive interrogation. There were other memos that strongly supported the agressive interrogation techniques and offered examples of the high quality information obtained. But these memos have not been released and the stonewalling continues. To the Obama camp, transparency is about like looking thru a jar of molasses.

To most Americans, this pattern is clear, but the media is looking the other way. Don’t touch Obama!!  Who knows, he may throw Nancy to the wolves.
