Welcome once again to the land of magic tricks –
At least that’s what some of the folks over at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar on th’ Caroliner line call it. The more folks read the 2000+ page health care bill the more puzzling it becomes – and more unintended consequences raise their troublesome heads.
The next bill on the docket wants to be straightening out the “immigration mess” – and it is reputed to be nearing 2000 pages in it’s Harry Reid, unfinished state … at least that’s the appeal Mr. Obama put out last week to the favored constituents – and a sound bite of his promise is being played over and over on cable.
His appeal is to those -- the minorities, which he does not name except for the Latinos and others to whom he aimed special invitations to help him get elected – to assemble and help him over the next hurdle which seems to be immigration problems… illegal and whatever.
Although seasoned observers note he did much heavy lifting on other legislative goals before he got to this one – and apparently that was interpreted by some (perhaps many) of his supporters as ignoring them too much -- there have been repercussions. Plus pundits are now saying the immigration problem (which no one expects to really get solved or passed before November – though no one will say so) may be an advantage to the GOP for this November – but it won’t be for 2012 – oh boy… we’ve got to be running two campaigns at a time it looks like. It’s enough to make a feller just want to throw up his hands totally about this politics stuff. (L)
Well… politics in some ways is a lot like baseball – or ice water …I get interested from time to time… and then go a long time before I get thirsty again. Maybe I ought to take up stamp collecting. (J)…
Cordially, IN HIM
