Nov. 8, 2010 – PPM – Can You Hear Me Now?

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is derived from last week's elections.

The country as a whole spoke loud and clear. The masses did not like the liberal Obama agenda. Over 60 house seats were flipped. The Republicans gained 6 senator seats, and countless local and state government's changed party control.

However to listen to President Obama last Wednesday and again on 60 Minutes on Sunday, he wrote off the election results to a "Communication" problem. The only communication problem was that HE DIDN'T GET IT.

But, Obama was not alone. Nancy Pelosi wants to stay in charge of the now, minority House delegation. She stated that they just didn't run on their accomplishments enough.

OMG, WTF, ROTFLMAO. Sorry, those are the only internet slang terms I've heard. However if you want to go old school, they better wise up ASAP.

How arrogant or stupid are these politicians?

Maybe we need a text vote like American Idol or Dancing with The Stars to send the message. Can they continue to dismiss the polls that detail the unhappiness with the larger government involvement, the unbelievable deficit, and Obamacare?

I hope that the next two years are not grid lock. I would hope that the Obama administration and Congress as a whole would tack to the right a bit and listen to the populace.

So the PPM is about MISSED MESSAGES and MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

I'm not sure how the election results can be misconstrued or misinterpreted. Then again, I never understood how the Designated Hitter in Baseball was allowed to continue beyond the May 1, 1973.
