As a child I was taught: “If you can’t find anything nice about a person then say nothing at all.” In an effort to conform to the manners my mother repeatedly (and futilely) tried to instill in me, I have decided to find something nice about President Barack Obama and the current leadership of the United States Congress.

After many hours of thought I drew a blank. Those who know me realize I am seldom at a loss for words, so I am shocked that I didn’t come up with anything. I can only assume that I set too high of a standard. To expect me to come up with nice things about Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy “they lied” Pelosi is just asking too much. For this reason, I decided to find something nice to say about a policy or action of theirs.

After a few more hours of thought something surprised me more than the earlier lack of words—I came up with something nice to say about the leftist junta currently running this country. Barack Obama and the Democratistas have spent so much money it is unlikely they’ll find enough to ruin the nation’s healthcare system. I did it! I said something nice! . . . Wait! That’s not so nice. Oh, well, there is another old saying that is easier to follow with this bunch—The truth hurts!
