Snake Oil

Billy May · Snake Oil

You all have seen the half hour infomercials. Billy May has a new snake oil solution to fix all of your problems. This is not a Consumers Report evaluation, it is meant to sell you a bill of goods. What can you expect from this riviting half hour? It can slice and dice, it will soak up 50 gallons of spilled milk, you can tow a 50 ton block of steel with one drop, clean your whole household with a single ounce.
Folks, I know a salesman when I see one. Do You? If that is the way he is spending party money, how do you think he will spend when he is in your pocket book?
Hey, we will double your offer if you commit with your MC/Visa card within the next ten minutes!
Is it to good to be true?
In the real world, probably. The only diference between Billy May and Obama is the hour in which they can afford to run their infomercial.

Can Obama lower my heating bill? Can Obama put more food on my table? Will Obama give me more choices in my health care? I'm old and tired, will Obama take care of Me? I have some savings, mostly in property and a 401K. Does Obama protect my investments? I have heared that he will tax people that make more than forty two thousand dollars a year and raise the capital gains tax and death tax. I would like to know that I can pass on my five hundred thousand dollar estate on to my children and grandchildren without being penalized for being "rich".
I probably will not live long enough to vote in the next election. So I must make my vote the right one for my decendants. Please, someone, make sence of this all for me?
I voted for a City Manager. Where is he? Why haven't we seated the board to oversee the charter? What good are promises if no one abides by them?
