Remember: If His Lips Are Moving, He Is Lying



On AOL, Politics Daily, 04-25-2010 had an article titled "Obama Pays His First Visit to Billy Graham, Prays With Him"

While Soap Box Ravings can understand why Billy Graham would pray for President Barack Obama he needs to remember the one constant of President Obama would seem to be his inability to tell the truth. The law often refers to the reasonable person. President Obama does not ever seem to meet the reasonable person standard of truth required by the law.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Soap Box Ravings feels this picture echoes his sentiments. However, he feels bad that he was not in it. Soap Box Ravings is looking forward to the next election in which he fully intends to send his fondest regards at the polls to those in Washington, DC.

Say It Ain't So; Please God, Say it Ain't So


U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (D) recently worried that the island of Guam might be in danger of tipping over and capsizing. This according to a videotaped congressional hearing that is getting plenty of play online and over the airwaves.

Johnson's comments came during a House Armed Services Committee meeting as he questioned Adm. Robert Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, about the impact of U.S. troops on the little island.

"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Johnson said, straight-faced and seemingly serious.

As you can see by watching this Rep. Johnson appears as a "knowledgeable" speaker. Somewhat like the President off his teleprompter.

He however, did vote for Obama health care; I guess he could understand an incomplete and unpublished bill better than he could visualize an island.
