"Whistling"

“Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect, and whistle a happy tune, and no one will suspect I’m afraid!” Those words were from a song in a Broadway show many years ago and those words are sung to make the character feel at ease in a bad situation and to fool those around him about his true feelings. There is also a term “whistling passed the grave yard” which is meant to tell the “ghosts and goblins” that when you walk by, you aren’t scared of them; another phrase is “whistling in the wind”, which has the same meaning as the first expression, whistling to dispel fear or dread. False bravado is sometimes used as a safety mechanism in combat to burn off that foreboding of the upcoming confrontation with the enemy, but no matter what one does, eventually you have to face your fears and consequences in almost all situations.

Little boys engage in all types of conflict while growing up; fist fights are common and usually not too damaging at the grade school level. Sometimes conflicts are avoided by excuses like “this is my good suit and I can’t fight now”, or “my mom wants me at home right away”, or “I wasn’t the guy who said that, it was Johnny”; any statement was made to avoid those awful challenges the poor 10 year olds face as they grow into “men”.

America has been watching the growing crisis at the southern border, and America has seen the plethora of excuses that have been flooding from Washington and particularly the Obama White House.

The President refused to make a personal appearance at the affected areas in Texas because he said he wasn’t interested in a “Photo-op”. Anybody who has lived on planet Earth for the last six years knows that there is nothing Barack Hussein Obama likes better than a photo-op. This president acts more like a game show host on the “E” network and spends more time on television than any of his predecessors. The amount of pictures of Barack Obama with celebrities is astounding. Singers, actors and TV personalities are regulars to the entourage of our current president. Barack Obama loves being around the “beautiful people” and has plenty of pictures to prove it. The folks on the left in the entertainment industry love to “hang with the Prez” at every opportunity.

There aren’t too many “celebrities” hanging around the border in Texas right now, nor are there many standing on the highways of California who are blocking those buses full of illegal aliens. Perhaps that is why Barack Hussein Obama hasn’t taken the time to go to those places.

The alternate reason Mr. Obama hasn’t gone to those places is he is just a little “afraid” to walk passed those “graveyards” because his fear would show up with him.

America is UPSET. Mr. Obama doesn’t like to be held to account for his actions and he will find somebody to blame if it is at all possible, but border security is his job, no matter how LOUD HE WHISTLES!

Watching him on the news, you can practically “smell his fear” as he tries to explain away this gigantic confluence of unwanted and illegal entrants to our nation.

Mr. Obama can Whistle as much as he wants to, but the facts are louder than his “tooting”!!
