The Stumper

 

The Stumper
(by R.P.Edwards)

Blame
Blame
Blame
Blame
Never own the buck
Tout your dream
Your vision, scheme
Then blame “them”…for your luck
Blather
Blather
Blather
Blather
Talk’s never been…so cheap
Oh how we wish
We had a man
Whose word
Is what…he keeps

"This is a choice between the policies that got us into this mess in the first place and the policies that are getting us out of this mess, and the other side is banking on people not having a good memory," said Mr. Obama. "They're trying to bamboozle you."

The previous quote of our ever-on-the-stump President, was plucked, word for word, from the Fox News website.  Thank you, ever so much.

And so, in Missouri, President Obama makes a stand for Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan, as she gainfully fights against Congressman, Roy Blunt, as they together vie for the seat being vacated by Republican Senator, Kit Bond.  And what is the ammunition that the chief executive uses to sway the Midwestern voters? Blame, diversion, distraction.  But, what the good President may have forgotten, is that in “The Show Me State”…it takes more than words.   In fact, “he” might want to remember that for the first time in fifty-two years, the land of Harry Truman (Yes, “The buck stops here!” president) had not sided with the declared “winner” in 2008. Yes, these “flyover” folk didn’t fall for words then; and I doubt they will…now.
