ONCE MORE THE CAN IS KICKED DOWN THE ROAD - for Just a Minute radio on Tuesday 110726

Well… for sure that’s a hard act to follow. 

 

I mean how many times can you have a meeting to get a problem solved and just come up with either another problem or have them split in a thousand pieces and now you’ve really got a major mess.

 

They tell me being President is the hardest, most difficult job in the land. And I suppose it is if you haven’t got a script and you started out without a clear idea of where you’re headed and what is the destination. I mean it’s *hard* knowing actually when you get there… if you don’t know where you’re going.

 

It’s like trying to solve one of those ever increasing math problems that seem to have no solution. Last time I noticed we printed something that said it was the 7th time that particular decision had been up for a conclusive and workable plan to get this problem solved – but it never seemed to get solved.  By the time you thought you could go back and pick up the conclusion… it had crawled off in a corner somewhere.  Don’t you think…?

 

Now – look you got me doing it.  – I mean it’s hard not knowing where you’re supposed to go or more particularly – when you’ve arrived. I think I’m going to have to hire another crew.  This writer seems to have lost his way.  He came in the front door from organizing neighborhoods on the South Side… but he never seemed to know just why he was here or what he was supposed to do… So… what could I do? Not much… I just decided it was time for a nap… They’ll probably make me do this all over again… Especially if I got a D-… Haven’t had one of those since the 5th Grade … Mrs. Ragland was my teacher…. Did you know her?

 

She was easy to remember – she had one brown eye and one more hazel.  So… Long… If you see Barack… tell him I’ll be back by the end of the week.

 

Cordially,

 

Jack

 

“JUST A MINUTE”

ONCE MORE THE CAN IS KICKED DOWN THE ROAD

          Just a Minute: Last evening it was only a moment after the President addressed himself to an unoccupied White House East Room, before it became evident our Chief Executive is much more dedicated to campaigning than doing what the taxpayers pay him for -- properly administering the country!

          He began last evening pining every current problem on President Bush (We’ve had three years of that already.) and then lays all his present problems in the GOP’s lap. He attacks Congress who won’t allow him to borrow more money to fill out the fiscal year, with dollars for which we need to borrow 42 cents for each one we spend above income. It goes into the open maw of ‘deficit financing’ in order to head off economic collapse.

          Where did this smooth talking, but economically challenged, President come up with the long-abandoned Roosevelt idea of ‘spending ourselves into prosperity?’ Was it in South Chicago or Harvaad Squ-ah? So far he’s managed to maneuver American fiscal policy into more debt in less time than that consumed by World War Two

          Is the nation ready for another CEO? -- I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
