The other day, while channel surfing, I came across a leader making the above statement.
I was gobsmacked.
This was totally uncharacteristic.
Can you guess the name of the leader whom I am referring to?
If you guessed Ford, McGuinty, Harper, or Wynne, you’d get part marks, since I can readily see where you are coming from.
But no..
The correct answer is .. the little guy who currently occupies the White House – he who has made avoiding responsibility a dark art.
So what was the little guy referring to – I asked myself at the time – numerous possibilities raced through my mind … but for want of space I will spare you.
The issue the little guy was generally referring to was the screw up currently going on with regard to the roll out of Obama Care.
But he wasn’t apologizing for the screw up … as well he should have, rather he was apologizing for a future possible screw up which I will get to in a minute.
But first in regard to Obama Care itself – the problem with it is not the failure in its launch – indeed this may turn out to be a blessing.
No the problem with it is that it is going to cost America trillions of dollars to implement at a time when the Good olde US of A is broke.
I am not opposed to assisting those misfortunates who need care – however the focus of Obama Care should have been on them – rather than on revamping their entire health care system as was done.
Added to that great expense, businesses are now in the process of jettisoning employees in an attempt to mitigate their increased health care levies.
Less taxes, more unemployment payouts …greater debt.
But is the little guy embarrassed or worried by this?
Not at all.
So what dear reader did the little guy apologize for?
He apologized for a future occurrence and in this I think the guy has actually invented something.
He said he ‘would fix the current roll out problems and if he failed …he would take full responsibility’.
How does one apologize for a hypothetical screw up?
Why does he not apologize for the real one currently underway? Does the buck not stop with him? Is he not the President?
And I fully expect, if difficulties arise in correcting the current problems, the little guy will return to form and find someone else to blame despite his kind and disingenuous offer to do otherwise.
He has to be the worst president of the United States in modern time. ( I was going to say since Jimmy Carter but even Carter would not await his first apology on something that has yet to happen).
As I see it…
‘K.D. Galagher’
