Gun control sheesh!
Cigar control Sheesh!
I watched the first part of the speech. Early on he smirked, "It's not like we're going to confiscate all guns in the country." (paraphrase)
How many times does a person have to lie to you until you no longer believe him/her? When she says she loves you, but then has an affair with your best friend, do you still believe her? When she says, the affair is over, but then you find lots of back and forth texts between them and she explains it saying, they're just friends?
Oooop, did I go off on a tangent? How about when "he" says if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor or if you like your plan, you can keep your plan ... says the family will save over $1,000 a year on health expenses? Then, none of these prove to be true for most Americans. Tons of full-time jobs are converted to part-time, so that companies will not be compelled under the rules to provide health insurance to their employees. Middle class Americans are not better off ... wages and full time jobs down ... not to speak of the "Shovel Ready Jobs" which never materialized. When confronted about that, the response was that same smirk ... ha, ha, well I guess they weren't there like we thought. Sorry for the rant, but when leftist progressives say that they won't do something (to assuage fears or counter the opposition), they usually are telegraphing exactly the opposite, what they actually are planning to do. This ain't paranoia ... this is using memory and an knowledge of history to show, that it is rational/reasonable NOT to believe this guy, as persuasive as he may be.
P.S. We all want to cut down on gun violence, usually committed by mentally ill or ideologically driven (for example: Islamic) extremists.
Rant over ... chalk it up to the infected tooth that blew up the right side of my face over the past couple days ... now on heavy duty antibiotics.
But, I just saw his made for TV drama presentation from the WH, then the issue brought up here and have to share some thoughts. A lot of it is about TRUST, and this guy has absolutely lost his credibility for me ... and I wonder what happended to the memory of many fellow countrymen ... or were they just not paying attention, when these things have happened (and I haven't even brought up the use of the IRS and other government agencies for political ends, Benghazi, etc.
+++ Last big cigar ... had a 2015 Camacho Liberty series on Sunday ... which I was saving for a special occasion .... I was disappointed. The HC Red Churchill I lit up a little later was much more enjoyable in flavor and draw ... until a friend who has a problem with cigars came up to talk for a long time and it went out, as with most cigars ... the relight was terrible ... never could recapture the first couple inches which were much more enjoyable than expected.
