well said mr. steele! now what?

Seems like everyone who is anyone wants to be the new face of the beaten and battered Republican Party. But who better than chairman Michael Steele himself? In fact, who better than an African American to take shots at the first African American president? The Republican party is leaving no stone unturned to try and rebuild their image and take shots at the ruling party and its leaders.

But there was a difference in how Louisiana Governer. Bobby Jindal followed up after Presidents State of the Union speech and how chairman Michael Steele addressed the 'Republican National Committee State Chairmen'. Mr. Steele's speech was to the point and did hold your attention span for longer than you blink your eye (which was the case in Gov. Jindal's speech). From invoking Ronald Regan to "trying" (emphasis on the air quotes) to energize the republican base, Steele talked about it all. What now? Isn't it too soon? Elections are in 2012 not 2010 Mr. Steele.

Regardless of how this turns out for the republican party I do agree with the following comments made by Mr. Steele to President Obama (as I too am not in favor of the socialist agenda) -

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift."

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong."

"You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer."

"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred."

"You cannot establish security by borrowing money."

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich."

"You cannot build character and courage by taking away one's initiative and incentive."

"You cannot help individuals permanently by doing for them what they should do for themselves."

It seems that the 'NO-BAMA' bandwagon is going to be set on rewind for the next 4-8 years. Till then, lets hope for "change" soon or China will be all over USofA.
