Wiki leaks have exposed the embarrassment of our country. It has also exposed the fact that Obama and his hope and change is just an illusion. It appears that Clinton has been doing business the exact same way as Rice was.Some hope and change.Another reason, I have the feeling I have been suckered.
The republicans aren't even in "power" yet and already they have stoped the Homeless Vet.Bill and the unemployment extension. They say they don't have the money to pay for it. They don't want to bankrupt our children's and grandchildren future. But they sure as heck don't mind messing with the Climate change that will screw them up way more than no money ever could!One guy actually had the audacity to say God will take care of it! I think the Koch's, among others, will actually NOT take care of it!I can only imagine how much money is being tossed around to keep the greenhouse effect from being an issue.
If you are looking for ways to "trim" the budget how about starting with defense? Base closings are a great way to start. I think the best way,though is to check the bills being submitted by private contractors. The $1000.00 hammers,for starters!If we actually had someone working for us in congress,scrutinizing every single bill that was turned into the pentagon,then we would be saving billions,right there.And the homeless vets and unemployed would be taken care of. Among other worthwhile causes.
I will be voting for Obama again in 2012,but I won't be a happy camper about it . I am convinced that he is not the man I voted for.I also think that it is too late in the process to get a viable opponent up and running with a war chest large enough to defeat him. I would not want the Democratic party split . As much as I have been disappointed with Obama, I still want him over ANY Republican there is .ANY Republican!My fear is if we split the party,then some knucklehead like Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich ,might slip in. I would rather have Obama ,with all his MANY, faults ,than either of those two know-nothings.Can you imagine Sarah as president?Get the passports ready. Canada would be looking mighty good!
I love when I cruise thru the FB pages of the right wing and see all the hatred that is thrown toward Obama.They can dress it up any way they want but it is pure racism. If they took the extra second and googled some of the stuff they rant and rave about ,they would see he isn't anything near the big ,bad,bogey man they make him out to be. With all his talk,we still have the Patriot Act. Drone missiles.Iraq is still being fought. .Afghanistan is huge, The wiki leaks have shown us that most of the war mongering Bush policies haven't changed. Gitmo is still open for business.Off shore oill drilling is still allowed...and the beat goes on.And that was pretty funny last year, when he joked about the drone missiles taking out the Jonas Bros. About as funny as Bush looking for the WMD's, at same function a few years ago.
So I guess if you have read this, you can see I am not a happy camper. The way this country is headed ,I don't think I will be for a while. But,I have lived thru Kennedy being killed,Nixon, St. Ronnie,Bush 1 Bush 2,Cheney, and I will get thru this. After all it is just politics.......As usual.
