WHAT DOES DOING THE JOB MEAN?

Whenever some one asks me to help in getting a job or a better position, here is what I counsel. Within your organization, department, etc. take the initiative. There is always something, some task that needs to be done that is either being ignored, not thought to be crucial or someone dropped the ball. No matter what it is, if it is part of the responsibility of that group, it needs to be done. If you recognize that then do it. Get it done. Do not do a Freddy Prinze on it by saying, “Not my job, man.” It is your job to see that your department or organization is successful.

When that task is done and done well, it is recognized by peers and superiors. Some peers may see it as power grab but superiors see it as taking the reins and leading the way. Leadership.  Doing hard things, small things, easy things that others don’t want to do or failed to do.

That is what I admire about this president. Yesterday he was criticized for not leading and today he was criticized for leading. The weak leader of the House of Representatives is also seeking to circumvent the president’s leadership by suing him for doing his job. I did find out that we cannot sue the Speaker for not doing his job. He has had oversight of the House that has the worst record in history regarding legislation. However, this majority has had the best record of creating scandals that don’t exist, wasting the legislature’s time in pursuing issues that are nonissues, ignoring the will of the people regarding gun laws, immigration policy and taxation. That is precisely the opposite of leadership and the Speaker wants to sue the president for doing his job when the Speaker won’t do his. The Speaker is another Horshack – “look, look what the president did.”

The president did what he felt needed to be done in order for the country to move ahead. Did he go too far in his interpretation of the law? Maybe? He did break any laws, no. So here is what the Speaker is complaining about: the president is doing his job. He is doing the job he was elected to do. Creating and implementing policies what the speaker and other members of the House were elected to do – they didn’t do any of that, well, very little, almost nothing.

They managed to shut down the government and cost you and I 24 Billion dollars for no reason nor any result worthy of talking about, except spending 24 billion dollars for nothing.

Remember what I said about peers not liking it. Well, that is what happened. But their superiors, us, the people who put them all in office loved what was done. The NLRB and the Consumer Protection Agency are now functioning and working on our behalf. The president did what they failed to do – their job.

The speaker and his colleagues are also ticked off about Executive Orders. Since this president has created less of them than any of this predecessors, what are the pissing and moaning about? They hate it that this president is competent and his competency is showing up their lack of any competency.

I don’t know what will happen next November.  If it is business as usual people will vote against their best interest and keep these clowns in their job so they can get a paycheck and do nothing for it except complain. I am really looking forward to the rhetoric that explains that doing nothing is helping the country. Maybe not authorizing another Iraq war is a good example of doing nothing that works. That would have been great ten years ago, not so much now.

I think that speaker needs another drink. Having his impotence exposed is most disturbing to him. I am sure he is looking for a little blue pill to create some blood circulation to his brain, either one. He is on a horse that is standing still, won’t run and can’t Cantor. (My apologies).

I suggest give it some thought. The speaker’s colleagues proposed legislation that when the president agreed with it, they now hated it. The obvious is out there.

What does amaze me that many of the ideas that have been proposed and the “no nothing at all Congress” opposed are now actually being done without them. States are increasing their minimum wage laws. States that did not like the AHCA are now creating the exchanges and embracing the new laws. The scary thing is that some of the populous think that access to better and more affordable healthcare is a bad thing, but they don’t know why it is. But these are the people that sent them to Congress. I guess you get what you deserve.

That is my take – you decide.
