We are all tired of the weak market, high gas prices and thinking government should be doing a better job. My family and the world are counting on you to make things better. It is not hard to look good when you follow a complete moron, but please try as hard as you can for your entire term. “The First Black American President”, I didn’t know that would happen in my generation, but I’m glad it did. I am proud of you. You are well spoken and present yourself as an intelligent American, a sharp contrast to your predecessor.

In the past year, I have done things to support my family that include me not seeing them for extended periods of time. I have not been pleased that this may be happening as a result of the inappropriate actions of failed leadership. The president used presidential power to over-ride the normal checks and balances to get what he wanted. He used fear tactics to scare the American people into believing terrorists are all around us and blatantly lied about weapons of mass destruction. There are clear ties to the war, oil and profit for these corrupt politicians. I also do not think the timing of this market crash is a coincidence. As we gain new leadership the deals of the corrupt will be broken. If we only knew the truth.

So, after a visious campaign, you are victorious and moving your things in to the white house. Please do not forget how you made it there and “keep it real”. You have a great opportunity to go down as one of the great presidents in history as opposed to a president, who will be viewed by all who study history, as a dipshit. I actually felt happier when Obama became president elect than when the Saddam Hussein statue was pulled down. In my mind; the Bush statue toppled.

This is the last of the political series. It’s not my thing, but I felt I had to use my blog to reach some people.

Peace

• I love Tom Brokaw
• Obama’s Grandma was “scrimpi’n
• McCain is at the tiller, steering a small boat
• Possible irony… Obama kills Osama

Later

BTW, do NOT look at your 401K. Just place that envelope in a drawer somewhere.

Mc Cain depicted as a “maverick”. We already have a cowboy in the White House. Do you really want a maverick? And which iteration of maverick do we get?

mav-rik, [mav-er-ik,

–noun

1.	Southwestern U.S. an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother.

2.	a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.

3.	(initial capital letter) an electro-optically guided U.S. air-to-ground tactical missile for destroying tanks and other hardened targets at ranges up to 15 mi. (24 km)

I’m gonna guess 3 and vote NO.

In this debate; I think that McCain highlighted that he has the same narrow thinking as President Bush. McCain seems to be looking for answers to correct past problems while Obama recognizes the mistakes of this administration and is prepared to correct them or at least not go down the same road again while looking forward to prevent such irresponsible mistakes.

The Bush administration has become so encapsulated in terror and war that they have left everything else by the wayside. We see this in the present state of the economy. McCain defends the bad decisions that have been made, because he was there making them, and even tried pulling heart strings to make a point. Look, we all appreciate the soldiers. They do their job. Nobody wants to see them used unnecessarily. It seems McCain will plow forward with backward thinking. McCain is focused on the same policies that encourage terrorism. When we invade other countries, they hate us. Put yourself in their shoes. McCain is prepared to ignore country leaders who are developing nukes, and generally put Americans in “survival mode” when we could be freaking happy.

Obama seems to have a broader scope of the situation, realizing there is more than one front for the American people to be concerned with.  Though we need to deal with Iraq and terrorism, the suffering economy and natural disasters as they unfold, there are other things that concern the American people that are currently being ignored. I think Obama said it best when he described how children from other countries perceive  the United States of America. It should be the great place in which everyone has a chance to be great. Obamas words encourage me as I think about the future for my children and me. I have never been encouraged by the mumbling, bumbling Bush.

So, if you are a hard core republican, just look back at the past eight years and ask yourself if you are better off today than you were when you were bitching about Clinton. Because, I’d rather have a president that’s getting a little on the side than a war monger. We have been at war the entire time Bush has been president and the cost of that dwarfs the economic mortgage bank crisis we are in now. Wake up People!

“In an economic recession, I’d rather that in order to get out of this recession, that the people be spending their money, not the government trying to figure out how to spend the people’s money.”

A lot of people are going green these days and BloggingThat is not about to be left behind. As our carbon based natural resources go up in smoke, so do the bank accounts of the oil companies. This is what is called the “footprint” people. So, what size shoe are you wearing?

This is a sneek peek, behind the scenes, look at BloggingThat. It is simple really; I run off of bio-fuel. I like corn and other grains too. Beer is made from grain and so this is how I power up my blog. Maybe this explains some of my posts.

Anyhow, this is a green blog. So, when you read it, you are effectively reducing your carbon based footprint while surfing the internet.

Thanks for reading BloggingThat.
