WHATCHU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS?

I grew up when Diff'rent Strokes was a popular television show. That's no big deal unless your last name is Willis. To this day I still hear those famous words popularized by Arnold: "Whatchu talkin bout Willis?" Usually they are uttered by someone looking at me as though I may have never heard it before. Yeah, right! Well this blog is what I (Willis) am talkin bout...my thoughts, observations & opinions. Enjoy...

I haven't been political lately, but...

I'm wondering. I'm wondering where all the anti-war protesters have been. I recall a particular vehemence and passion in protesters back during the Bush (#2) administration that seems to have diminished. Where is the hollyweird crowd? Where are the musicians? Maybe I've just been missing them (I don't pay much attention to them). And where is all the vitriol for President Obama over not bringing the troops home? President Bush was bellitled regulary & with much fervor - we all know that. I say this as someone who pulled for Ron Paul and as someone who was not in favor of invading Iraq in the first place, so I'm not a GOP/Bush apologist. I just find it curious that much of the anti-war fury has subsided eventhough the war hasn't.

I guess one might also note the GOP's ground troops & talking heads are suddenly concerned about the swelling of the federal government. The political door swings both ways for sure!

That's what I'm talkin bout.

I detested the growth of the Fed under Bush but it is growing by leaps and bounds now that Obama is in office. I didn't like all that Bush did nor do I feel that he did enough for conservative causes but in hindsight, he is much better than Obama!

True. Unfortunately things seem to be setting worse.

Bush is an old white guy, so criticizing him is okay. Obama is black; if you criticize him too much, you will be called a racist. There is fine line. Plus, all those Hollywood people who protested the war also voted for Obama. They'd look stupid and foolish if they now protest him after praising him as our savior from Bush. ~ L
