Ruminations
Been thinking about the mess we are in what with the spenders and the class warfare promoters and the foreign policy zealots, but mostly i have been projecting what will come once the ground thaws and the OWwies make their grand reappearance.
And it dawned on me what a funny little world we live in.
In Atlanta, the Owwies took over Woodruff Park, named after a Coca Cola magnate, who not only was a noted philanthropist but also employed Herman Cain’s father as his driver. Woodruff bestowed upon the Cain’s some Coca Cola stock which helped pay young Herman’s way through college and onto a career that made him arguably a 1%’er himself.
Funny how the circle goes around.
Wish Herman was still running.
And then i was thinking about the uproar that came when Obama was referred to as the food stamp president. And it is true that more people are on foodstamps than at any other time in our history, but it is also true that Stanley Dunham collected foodstamps for a while when Barack was young. I do not recollect any other president having that in their biography.
And Barack is no doubt a 1%’er.
And maybe that is what makes this country great . That we can rise from humble beginnings and profit from hard work and recognizing opportunities knock.
