Jack of All Trades

In a stunning revelation on this morning's TV program "Morning Joe" on MSNBC, Robert Gates, our former Secretary of Defense under both Bush '43 and our current president revealed that, at one of his large staff meetings, Obummer bragged that he could do everyone's job in the room better than they could. Wow! Double wow! This kind of selfie-stick monster ego ... colored by delusion has got to be a first for any president (except maybe Slick Willie).

If this were truly what had been said, then our regal leader has done one of two things ... either surrounded himself with doofuses ... or been ego-massaged to the point of the vainest of vainglory. My guess is that it is a little bit of both. If I could have but one wish that was sure to come true, I would love that this bigger-than-life man-child would be able to read what historians have to say about him in about fifty years. I kinda doubt that they might view him the same way he sees himself today ... in front of his preening, self-loving mirror.

(Perhaps jack-off of all trades?)

Now, for the Rest of the Story

Paul Harvey

President Obama, as predicted, indicated in last night’s State of the Union address that he was going to sign an executive order raising the minimum wage under government contracts to $10.10 per hour from the current $7.25 per hour … a 39.3% increase!  Many pooh-pooh this move as irrelevant since very few employees working on government contracts are making the minimum wage … even though the administration claims the number to be over two million … see: Fox News Story/.

However, what is forgotten in this whole White House ruse is that many unions have contractually established their pay scales based upon the minimum wage … see: Wall Street Journal Article.  So President Obama is surreptitiously throwing many unions a gigantic bone by increasing their members’ wages even when they are earning far above the minimum wage ... figuring most of us naive doofuses will not realizing what is going on.

Now you know the rest of the story ...
