Seriously?

This story from the Washington Post.

Mention the new "tan tax" in a major news outlet and cries of discrimination and reverse racism often follow.

‘Tan tax’ discussions include allegations of reverse racism

And this one from the AP.

To me it [the gulf oil spill] was more about eight years of bad policy before (Obama) got there that let this happen.

Buffett hopes to boost Gulf spirits with concert

I can’t believe the news I read, the emails I get and some of the comments I read on various social media. I mean come on, there are numerous legitimate reasons to oppose the federal government sticking its fingers into healthcare. Are we really to the point where we have to appeal to the negative? Every. Single. Time?

Then there is the comment from Jimmy Buffet about the oil spill. Since he feels responsibility lies at the feet of the Executive office of the federal government, I’d say it’s about time for this administration to start owning problems. Is the American public buying this “It is still Bushes fault?” The reality of the matter is that it’s not either President’s fault. The information that is available makes it seem as though BP had some bad policies and procedures. (Entirely too much information available about the spill here and here.)

Americans need to think for themselves and stop being party hacks to the point of being ludicrous.

So I’ll end with a repeat of the subject of this post. Seriously?
