Catch!!!!

Remember when you were a kid and your friend would throw a ball at you and then yell, "catch!!?"  His goal was usually to hit you in the face.  Hilarious, huh?  One of our football drills was similar.  The receiver would stand inside a circle of 6 other players.  The coach would yell out a clock point, 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10.  The player at that point would throw the ball at the receiver as he spun to catch the ball.  The coach would yell out the points out faster and faster, until you had footballs flying from all directions.

Right now, average Americans are the receiver in the middle.  And the Obama administration is surrounding us at all points of the clock, down to the seconds.  First they fire a fast, hard one at us.  A 2000+ page health care takeover.  We turned,  but not quick enough and took that fastball to the face.  Good news is that Americans threw it back hard enough to get their attention for a couple of minutes anyway.

Now they are firing away from every direction.  Here comes cap and trade.  Look out, here comes immigration reform.  Pow, there is another western state land grab Zoom, there went FCC regulation of the internet Voting on a change in language for statehood ballots for Puerto Rico Didn't see that one coming There went representation in the House for D.C. Lobbed in legalizing carrying firearms in national parks, while zipping in voting rights for convicted felons Ouch At least it is called the Democracy Restoration Act, how bad could that be Student loans as part of health care How'd that one get by It will be a revenue stream to reduce the cost of health care, oh, ok How's it going to produce revenue when it doubles the amount of grants given (those don't have to paid back)And if you work for the government you don't have to pay back your loan at all Boy, we fumbled that one Federal regulation of all U.S. waters, right over our head Goldman Sachs executives being excoriated by the Senate.  Caught that one.  Good.  Let those evil thieving bankers have it.  Almost destroyed our economy with their shady home loans.  Wait a minute, Congress required them to make those risky loans.  They protected their investors by hedging their bets, didn't they?  If I had money invested in Goldman, I'd be adding them to my Christmas card list!  Dropped that one too.  Stop, we need a break!  Put down that banking regulation reform!  Look out, here comes Supreme Court nominee!!
