Kentucky

When you say Kentucky, most people think of the Derby, or Mint Juleps or Bourbon. I DON'T. I think of Senator Mitch McConnell, minority leader of the Senate. Recipient of donated money from Wall Street Institutions, congressional parliamentarian looking for ways to derail, obfuscate and kill good legislation for America and lastly, distorter of the truth. Senator McConnell did his best to destroy Health Care Legislation and while he did not succeed, he did succeed in confusing America about the bill and brilliantly used political tactics to actually distort it. Many Americans as a result of his effort, are still unhappy and confused about the bill. Senator McConnell is at it again. Now he is against Finance reform because it may make the banks and investment firms more accountable to America but the Senator doesn't want to hurt his friends in the banking industry. So, he is out there going on and on about how bad it is....too complicated....start over...all the same rhetoric used before. There is one big lie....that this bill will cost the taxpayers for future bailouts because there is an emergency fund set up to be used to avoid the failures of big banks in the future. What the Senator doesn't tell you is the truth. This fund is to be put up by the banks...not the taxpayers. You go, Senator McConnell. Keep trying to kill all the President's agenda items. It may help in Kentucky for you personally, but no wonder as of today the people trust Government at the lowest point since 1958. Good for you Mr. McConnell. Enjoy the race, have a sip and keep doing what you do best....pound on the President. Long term, not really good for the country...or don't you really care? Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
