The tyrant is also unaware that even the libs who voted him into office are becoming aware of his moves to destoy the freedoms our fighting men assured us. I'm not aware that he has ever apoligized to us, the American citizens. However, he has apologized for our "his declared arrogance" all over this globe.
It is too sad that the constitution does not require congressional leaders and the president and Supreme Court judges to have securtiy clearances. Tjis youg orator would never have passed muster.
Barack Obama, through his spokesman, claimed that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the MSM (Main Stream Media) has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best) but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?
This much:
- He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America .
- He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist.
- He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.
- He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally.
- He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya .
- He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants.
Bottom line ... there are people in comas that are more aware of world affairs than this guy!

Norwalk, OH and Clark Rapalee...
Jeanie and I drove through Norwalk Friday morning on our way to the Dawg Days Huron Softball Tournament for our thirteern year old granddaughter, Tobey. I thought of my friend Clark and how his life may have been spent there. I'm sure Rapp had a good life there.
Jeanie and I were sharing hot dogs between games Saturday afternoon and spoke with a man and his husky son (a Norwalk football player). The gentleman was a school principal in Norwalk for the last 22 years. Rapp must have moved to FL before the man mpved to Norwalk; however, I gave him my card and asked if he should talk with somebody who knew Clark to have them e-mail me. He was going to mention it to the Superintendant.
I am glad that Clark stopped by our home several years ago and spent time talking with Gib Lakerman and me. Clay Vice had Clark for a teacher at Portsmouth Clay High School, and Jack Plymale told me of sharing a room with Rapp in Charleston on a Trojan football trip.
Liz Rapalee Lyons, Rapp's daughter, e-mailed me after reading the posts about him on this blog. She was so proud of her father and wanted any other info that came by me or others. Liz is a lawyer, going by the name Elizabeth Rapalee.

The re-returning e-mails...
Thanks Ray Springer, A Denison buddy!
This
is the poem:
Around
the corner I have a friend,
In
this great city that has no end,
Yet
the days go by and weeks rush on,
And
before I know it, a year is gone.
And
I never see my old friends face,
For
life is a swift and terrible race,
He
knows
I like him just as well,
As
in the days when I rang his bell.
And
he rang mine but we were younger then,
And
now we are busy, tired men.
Tired
of playing a foolish game,
Tired
of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow'
I say! 'I will call on Jim
Just
to show that I'm thinking of him.'
But
tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And
distance between us grows and grows.
Around
the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's
a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And
that's what we get and deserve in the end
Around
the corner, a vanished friend.
