Obama, what has he done yet?

Obama is in such a hurry to pass any health care plan. He said that whatever bill passes the Senate he's going to sign it. One thing about Lieberman, he has nuts to stand up and say quit adding on pork spending. The Democrats don't care how much it costs to put this so called health bill in action. Putting a part in there about finding people that don't buy insurance is total out & out bullshit.

What is Biden got strong words for Lieberman for? Biden is just another yes man to Obama, maybe he should have some balls and tell Obama that this bill is wrong and they should really work on it and not try to push it thru just because Obama wants to show the world that he has finally done something in this soon to be year of him being in office. I think that's a piss poor reason to rush a bill thru before it is work out completely....don't you.

I have insurance, but that doesn't mean I can go to the doctor or buy all my meds.. You pay all that money to the insurance companies and if you do get really sick they can deny you treatment which is also bullshit. The people in Washington( both parties) should fix the health care insurance companies and the way they operate before shoving their so called health care bill down our throats.....by the way, it won't go in effect for another two-three years anyway. So,WHY THE RUSH??? Oh, I know... just to make Obama look like he's doing his job...the one that he's getting paid to do. I believe he will go in the history books as the do nothing President, just like Bush will go in the books as the President that started a war and couldn't finish it.

Blah, Blah Today:{:{:{

Feeling blah blah today. Can't seem to get going today. Have you ever had those days where you are wondering why you are here and where the hell did all the years go?

That's my problem. I'm trying to find out why I'm here and what do I have to do to show that I am here. I would love to write but I can't seem to get the words from my mind to paper. When I put it on paper it just doesn't seem to really say or match my thoughts. I would like to write a book on ''Does evil recognize evil when they meet''? I have started but I'm hopeless. I can write in my journal but can't do anything else. Just rambling today, no talking about what's going on in the country or the world, just me rambling.

The darkness just brushing my fingertips today. I guess that's why I'm blue, wants to grab my hand but I can't let it grab me or it'll pull me all the way day.

What Do You Think? Has Obama Kept Any Promises?

Okay..went out and voted this morning. I did not got for one party. I voted for whom I thought was the right person for the job. But of course we know what's gonna happen when they take the oath of office. Their promises and what they ran on will go right out the window... as usual.

On Newsweek's website they ask if Obama has kept his promises that he ran on. My answer is a big fat NO. But....neither has any other President that took the office before him. But what gets me is that his main campaign message was CHANGE. It looks like there is no change at all and if there is change it's not good at all. it takes him forever to make a damn decision about anything. You can't keep blaming everything on the past president. They have the Demarcated votes to accomplish things...Why aren't they doing it then. Maybe it's because some people up there are finally seeing him for what he is....Just another blowhole that will not do anything but what he wants done. It will be our countries down fall, he will be the one to kill our country and it has nothing to do about color. It has to do about him and his own agenda.

Stupid People or Is It People acting Stupid????

Okay, get this. I have written about Norfolk Virginia a couple of times now. This time it's not Norfolk but it's still in Virginia. A man got up one early morning and went into his kitchen to get something out of his fridge. Okay nothing bad so far..right. Oooppps...did I mention he was Naked!!! So what...right. No..it's not because you have this woman and her kid cutting thru his back yard and SHE looks through his window and the next thing he knows the cops are at door.

It seems that got a call from A Woman concerned because there was this man naked a the window where he can be seen. I **** you not. Now he his being charged with indecent exposure and something else. I have to get the story off the newspaper's website and post it for you. This woman trespassed on his property with her kid and she's the one that called the cops on him. The dumb ass prosecutor is actually charging him. What is wrong with this woman? What is wrong with the dumb ass that's going thru with this bullshit charges? What is wrong with our justice system?

The Good Ole Days!!!!

I know it's been a while since I was last here. And nothing has changed with what's going on with our leaders in Washington. No health care plan yet. We're still telling other countries they can't have nukes. Our state and city governments are cutting their budgets like crazy, but still talking about raising taxes, fees. I know that our cities and states must continue to function but a lot of us can't keep up with all the expenses that all piled on us.

Where are the good ole days where we didn't have anything to worry about. Where are the days where you can play outside and not have to worry about being snatched from your family. I remember growing up and my play ground was the tobacco field to the right of us and the corn field to the left of us. We used to play hide-n-seek in those fields. I remember laying in the wheat field looking up to the clouds and trying to find shapes in them.

The good ole days left us when we grew up and life hit us smack in the face. My sons were always rushing to grow up and I told them over and over just enjoy being a kid because being an adult sucks. Now they see what life is all about. I know that life is what you make of it but sometimes life doesn't help you along. So have a great day everyone and let's dream about the good ole days!

Norfolk, Va

Man..... I'm so tired of all the crap that is going on in Washington. Just get over yourselves and get to work on making our great country great again. They want us to spend money but the dumb asses can't seem to get it through their heads if people don't have jobs they can't but anything. The housing markets are not getting better, it's getting worse because people DON"T HAVE JOBS!!!!

Cooper Vision in Norfolk Va. is closing shop and moving overseas to England. These cities court these companies to come to the city with tax breaks, sometimes help buying property and then they move overseas. We need to start slamming these damn companies with fines make them pay the employees money for shutting their doors and leaving. How can we get back on the right track if we continue to allow them to pay up and move so they can still make a profit but leave us high and dry. ENOUGH already.

Get this in Norfolk Virginia the city is fighting two night clubs, they padlocked the doors after the city counsel voted to take their liquor license from them. They courted these clubs to come to Waterside and open up but now everybody wants a'' family atmosphere'' they had one club evicted from Waterside. Everybody is going to wind up suing one another and there goes the tax payers money down the drain.

I'm so over this ''family atmosphere'' crap. The children shouldn't be out that late anyway. Everyone is getting so high and mighty about what they think should be or not. Instead of trying to close down businesses that they think aren't right for their image the should fix the drainage problems going on there. Everything it rains heavy there there's major flooding. Just last week they had 4-6 inches of rain come down in certain areas and caused flooding. They have people losing most of their personal things while they worry about ''their image''. Why turn on a business because it stopped suiting you purpose? Things need to change but they won't......

Empty Promises!!!

The dreaded health care issue. It's going to be a big failure. I think it's a dream for everyone at this point. People are out of work and they are talking about putting a fine/fee on you if you don't have a plan. How in the hell can people afford it if they're now working? My oldest son doesn't have it at his current job. They don't have enough people for a plan.

He starts a new job next week that does offer it to you but even then he can afford to buy it. He just makes enough money to get by, barley able to pay his bills. He cut out smoking and buying soft drinks. When I was working I had to have insurance because I'm a diabetic and when I quit work I checked into the same plan with the same insurance company---here's what they told me. I was paying $252. and some change at work--- but out of my pockets not working---$753. and change. That's over $500.00 dollars more than what I was paying.

It's crazy the way these insurance companies can rip you off and get away with it. My mother went to a kidney doctor and made another appointment for sometime this month, she got her bill from them and she cancelled her appointment. She told me her bill was for well over $1200.00. She lives with my sister and she gets S.S. , that's it. She still has to buy separate insurance, so she's not getting anything for free. She has quit going to alot of doctors now because she just can't afford to go.

Some in the government wants to put a tax on soft drinks with sugar in them....saying that will stop alot of kids from becoming obese and maybe stop them from becoming a diabetic. I wasn't obese and I became a diabetic. I have a family history on both sides of my bloodline of having diabetes. My mother, my uncle(father's side), a couple aunts(mother's side) and my two brothers. So taxing soft drinks is just another way for the government to tell us what to eat or drink, just like they were on that kick about fast food is bad for you. You should have the right to eat what you want to without someone telling you-----you can't have that----I'm big brother, you don't have enough sense to know what is right for you so I'm going to tell you. What a bunch of bull hockey? You know what's bad for us lately, the big brother telling us what to do all the time..... I'm over putting people in office and each time they are no better than the one before them. Just a bunch of empty promises to get elected and point at each other when things are not done as they are promised.

We want your passwords & user names, what the hell????

We have known for years now that big brother is watching your every move. Now we have the city of Bozeman Montana asking job applicants for their user names and passwords to all their Internet social networking sites and their web groups they belong to. Why should we give in to these people that are working for us. Are you going to give us your user names and passwords for us to see?? No, I think not.

The city argues that it only uses the information to verify application information... they even go on to state that they won't hold it against anyone for refusing to provide it to them. PLEASE, who do they think they're kidding. They will be thinking in the terms of-If they don't want to give use this what is it that they're hiding-. Hell, maybe it's that it's none of your business what my passwords and users names are. It's bad enough that some cities asks that their employees not smoke even at home and there has been cases of if you're caught you will be fired. I don't smoke but I'll be damned if I'll have my boss telling me what I can and can't do in my own home.

In Norfolk Va., city next to where I live was knocking on doors wanting to come in and see inside your home...just to see if you have recently done repairs to your home or not. They say your home assessments won't go up...but then Real Estate Assessor Deborah Bunn said the door-to-door inspections helped her office provide more accurate assessments. They are just trying to squeeze every penny they can from someone. What happens if that person was recently laid off had time on their hands and decided to paint, make the place look better. They come in and see that it looks better than the outside of the home and they are like we have to have more money from you...this place is looking to good for what the home is said to be worth.

This has to stop, we are paying out money now for everyone of their LITTLE PROJECTS, you know the ones, where they don't benefit us but the do with someone with money. We are not safe anymore from Big Brother and it's only going to get worse because we have these people that think they know what's best for us. Yeah, what's best for me is for you to do your job and stay out of my home and leave my user names and my passwords alone. If it wasn't meant to be private they won't have said'' password'' to get in.

Where is the change????

The President won't release the visitors log... just like the Bush administration. I thought I heard in his speeches how There WILL BE CHANGE, A WHOLE NEW OPEN ADMINISTRATION IS COMING. Yeah, right. It's the same old bullshit, everyone that gets in office spouts off how things will be ran different than the last President. Obama wants us to believe that he's the one that's going to change this country for the better....I don't think so. I am really pulling for him on the health care issue, we do need a change because there are to many people out there without any health care at all.

The President did a about face on releasing the photos of the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay. At one time he allowed a few photos to be released and then he's like, no,no more photos are going to be released to the press. Why stop now? You started it and then pulled the plug...why???? We are not children, I can judge for myself what is right or wrong, good or bad. We have to know what's going on and just not what they decide we need to know. It's our country too. Don't we have a say in how things go. Just because we put someone in office doesn't mean we have to have a gag in our mouth so we can't speak out, have a blindfold on so we can't see what's going on. We still have a right on how this country is ran...don't we.

Bye my baby girl Madison.

On June 5th, I had to put my big baby girl to sleep. It was the Most Hardest thing I have ever done in my life. We had been together for nine years, and had only been apart four times. I was in the hospital for three days and my husband said she wouldn't eat and leave my side of the bed the whole time. He had to put the leash on her to take her outside, and one night when my husband and I went to his aunts funeral. I knew that I would be there for her, it was the least I could do for her.

I have heard a lot of people say that they couldn't ever do that, it would hurt to much. Yes, it nearly killed me...but how could I not be there with my baby. She wanted her mama to make her better, to take away the pain. I did that, for her. So, Madison I love you and I will miss you until we meet again, bye baby, love your mama.

Home for animals!!!!

Well, I am going to go for it again. What I mean is that I am going to work on my proposal again to find money to open a home for animals. The Haven of Hope Animal Rescue. That is the name of my home for lost and abandoned animals. There are so many out there and now with so many people losing their homes some people are just walking away and leaving their pets in the home.

I don't think they should just walk away and leave them in the homes, but a lot of people are doing just that. If you have to leave then please just find a no kill shelter and leave them. Even most of these shelters are full and can't take them in. I think all living and breathing beings either four legged or two deserve to live out their lives in a warm loving home. I know a fantasy. I'm hoping though, that people will change and come to believe that animals do hurt and cry like people. Don't you want to have a place to go to that will take care of you and to feed you and to just love you. Well, that's what I want for these animals that are being put to death because of overcrowding.

That is what happened here at the Virginia Beach animal control, some dogs got sick(Provo) (I hope I spelled it right), so they put those to sleep and then put even more to death because of not having room. The state has been on them for a few years now because of poor conditions and yet they ( the Virginia Beach City Council) can not or more likely will not find the money for a new shelter. I think the city should take the shelter out of the police depts. hands.

So, if anyone out there knows where I can get some money to get the shelter started let me know. I want to get money to buy a lot of land so they can live and feel safe. I want to save as many as I can, so if anyone has any ideas just let me know.

No Faith In People Anymore!!!

I have no faith in my fellow man anymore. Most people are selfish with the me mentally. My husband stopped yesterday morning at a Hardee's to get a biscuit and when he got ready to leave his truck wouldn't start. It was the battery. He told me no one would help him and if it wasn't for a guy that works on the same job site as he, he said he would have had to call me just to give him a jump.

Today I went to Cape Henry Hardware in Virginia Beach where I live to mail a letter. They have a contract post office inside. Well, there was one lady at the counter being waited on and two women at the table, each with a pile of stuff to be mailed and they were still working on it. One lady said ''we are in line''. And the clerk just nodded his head. I didn't move, but I told her to go ahead, she rolled her eyes and said we will go our turn. I said screw this and I told her that when people are in line that means they are in line and not working on their stuff to be mailed. I said I'll go to the real post office, I told her I can't stand idiotic people and left. What gets me is that I had one envelope to get one stamp for while these women had piles of stuff to go out. I mean, they would have to wait a whole minute while I got a stamp.

If I had my way I would move off somewhere by myself with my animals and just deal with people over the net. Get my groceries ordered, anything that I need just order it from the net.I have always let people in front of me if I see that they have one item and I have a bunch of stuff, whether in the post office or grocery store. I try to be nice to my fellow man. But I just give up, we have all these animals in the animal shelter ran by the city of Virginia Beach dying because they put them to sleep because they don't have room in the place they're at but they have money to build a rec center that you can't use on holidays because they are closed. Hell, that's when a lot of people want to use it, when they are off of work.

I know that furthering your education is really important, but it just kills me to see someone leave a large amount of money to a school while you could take some of that money and open a huge no kill shelter. I love art just like the next person but it's the same as the schools, I believe that keeping something alive and healthy is more important. I know that most people don't agree with me but that's what's wrong with the world today. They don't consider animals as important, they are just animals. That's why some people don't see anything wrong with dog fighting or cock fighting. These animals bleed and hurt just like we do, they just don't have the voice to speak out. Who will stand up for them?

So, am I being petty, was I wrong to think that when you are in a line it means you are actually standing there ahead of me or behind me? I won't even waste my time anymore on going back to Cape Henry Hardware post office because if the postal clerk doesn't have the nuts to tell someone that you're not in line if you're still working on your packages why bother giving them your money. They are a contract station so they make money on their sales. So, I'll just drive the extra mile or two and stand in a real line. At least at the real post office if you don't have your package done you are not considered in line unless you have a problem or question.

I stand with the President on this issue!!!!!

Well....I have to say that I do like President Obama on taking a stand on tax loopholes used overseas by some of our U.S. firms. Someone needs to crack down on companies ''that ship jobs overseas''. He has a uphill battle though, the Democrats have been fighting to close loopholes for years now. The Republicans will fight tooth & nails on this issue.

I bet the lobbyists will be chomping at the bit to make sure the President doesn't get his way. It's a shame that when someone finally wants to take a stand and do something about the way our companies close shop up here then have everything overseas so they can save money...get their tax breaks. They don't care that the effect of them doing this is a major slam on our countries economy. I wish the President all the luck in the world... he will need it.

Signs of life in our economy, man I hope that is true. In our area home sales was up slightly. In the South Hampton Roads area it was reported that 799 homes were sold in March, that's up 38% from February...but still 10% below sales in March of 2008. I feel like things are slowly but surely turning for the better, people are spending a little money....putting it in the economy to get things going again. I told my husband that things would get better this summer, so maybe it is heading there now, a couple months earlier. Things are getting to get better, we just need to hang in there a little longer.

I am going to say I hope that things are turning around for everyone, I also hope that the Democrats & Republicans stand behind the President and his plans on fixing the tax loopholes oversea. Let's keep our fingers crossed on this one because I believe it will benefit everyone!!!!

Rate the first 100 days!

The first 100 days. How is he doing so far? Do you think the President is wrong to meet with our enemies like he has done? I do want him to do his job, but I'm wondering if it's to much for him. He hasn't finished one thing that he has started yet. He did get a dog, but not from the shelter he said it would. He is starting to look wishy washy to me. Bush was a bulldog, he did it his way and only his way. I didn't agree with a lot of his doings but he didn't back down when he thought he was right(in his mind he was always right).

We needed a President with backbone, to stand up to Congress to get things do but so far I think he has fallen down on the job. He said he wanted to do away with the pork projects, but when they passed the latest BAILOUT, yes, that was a bailout, there was a lot of pork projects attached. He hasn't stick to anything so far from his campaign. I am still hoping that I'm wrong because we (the country)need help now. We have Iran and North Korea and every country that hates us breathing down our necks. We need to show the world that we stand together, we can't show them a country that can't stand our elected officials. So, let's get rid of the dead weight. Throw them out of office now. Agree with me or not you must know deep down that we are better at running this country than the morons that are in there now. People are tired of getting taxed to death, losing their jobs, their homes, paying countries billions of dollars while we are slowly but surely twirling down the drain.

Wishes!!!!

I wish people weren't so greedy!
I wish we could smile at each other and actually mean it!
I wish people didn't judge one another by looks!
I wish my land lady of 19 yrs would walk thru the door with the deed!
I wish I had the money to open my animal rescue haven!
I wish I could live in the mountains of Big Stone Gap!
I wish Ford would give me a new F150 truck!
I wish people didn't feel the need to take each others life!
I wish people would learn to take care of their pets!

Wishes, everyone has them. These are a few of mine! If I had to choose a few of my wishes they would be these. These are my top three.

Wish for my son to be home!
Wish to talk with my daddy one more time!
Wish to have money to open my animal rescue haven!

I wish for peace and happiness to everyone, but we all know that it won't happen. People just don't like to see other people happy, we are envious of what others have. It is in our nature to do one another in. We can't put a hand out to help each other without thinking how it would help us.

Over The Weekend Rant!!!

Well, another weekend gone and a new week here. So, what happened in the news over the weekend. Poor Madonna, she had to leave the country without another child from this poor country. I'm sadden that she couldn't have the rules broken for her again. She's going to appeal, my advice is..yep...here it is... GET OVER IT!!!! There are plenty of children here in the United States that need a loving home. Where are the celebrities? Rosie has adopted children from the U.S. , she didn't feel like she had to rush out of the country to save a kid from a life of misery. Wake up people, it's not a bed of roses living in this country. You have families dying because the grown ups decide they can't live like they are doing, losing their jobs, their homes. Not to long ago in the paper there was a couple who worked at a hospital and they both lost their jobs. Well, they decided to take their own life, but, they decided to take their three kids with them. They left a note saying they didn't want the kids to be put in the system and not being taken care of. Were they selfish by killing their kids, or did they do the kids a favor by saving them all the heartache and misery they knew was going to come?

Okay, moving on. The Associated Press recently reported that legislatures in at least eight states have considered proposals that would subject recipients of welfare,food stamps and unemployment benefits to random drug tests. What the hell???? You have Craig Blair, a West Virginia lawmaker, saying'' Nobody's being forced into these assistance programs''. What the hell???? Where has he been hiding? Yes, CRAIG, people are being forced into these programs everyday. Blair goes on by saying''If so many jobs require random drug tests these days, why not these benefits?'' The difference to me, at least, CRAIG, is that the benefits are there to help people when they fall on hard times and lose their jobs. Sure, there are people that abuse the system that was created to help out the down and out when needed, but what about the people that actually need those benefits. You are going to make them pee in a cup before they can get their unemployment check? Now, get this one. You have a state senator from Florida that wants the unemployed to pay for the test they'll be forced to take. What the hell???? With the way things are now you are going to force people to pee in a cup to get their benefits. The number of Americans drawing unemployment benefits surpasses 5.7 million. Yes people, that's 5.7 million. You have more than 32 million, or one in every 10 Americans receiving food stamps. These so called lawmakers need to get off their asses and figure out how to help and not to try to cause people more harm. I would love to see an over haul of the way the government is run. It needs to be torn down and rebuild for the people. These lawmakers get in office and spent 20-40 yrs or longer in office and it makes them feel some much more superior than us. They don't care about you and me, they have their cushy job where they get away with anything. Stand up people, we need to stand up together and get these good ole boys and gals out of office. They don't work for us, just their own selfish needs. Power destroys a lot of people, get rid of their power and they are just like you and me, a nobody in a group of nobodies.

Wake Up !!!!

I am so sick of these so call celebrities in the news, who cares what they ate, where they went shopping. I don't, I mean damn, give me a break. Get a life people. Guy was just charged with stalking a young girl off ''Dancing with the stars''. What's wrong with these people? You know what else pisses me off. These car companies giving these celebs cars to drive. Do they honestly think someone is going see this person driving this automobile and rush out to buy one?

Not me,if I see someone driving a car/truck I like I ask them a little about it. If these car manufactures want advertising why not pick some regular folk like you and me to have a free car to drive a tell people about it. I don't rush out to buy some jeans just because someone is wearing them in a photo op....please who could afford the things anyway. I go see a movie if it looks good and if I love it I'll tell other people to go see it, the same with any thing I buy...it's because I like it not because I saw it on some celebrity that couldn't care less about you or me.

So Ford Company please send me a F150, or a Ford Mustang...I'll shout from the highest rooftop how you are here for all people not just the celebs. .Yep, you too Gm,Chevrolet, Cadillac, send me a car, hell I'll take a hummer 3, I'll give you all the free advertising you'll need. Give cars to people that will actually enjoy and need them......

So Much Bad News In The News

What's going on with all the shootings and all the killings in the news lately? When you have a problem with someone, whether it's your family or a stranger why kill someone that is a innocent bystander. I know things are bad but if you choose to kill yourself why take someone with you.

If your life sucks that much do something about it, don't take other people down with you. Eight people dead at a nursing home in North Carolina. We hear about shootings in Norfolk (near where I live) alot lately. Is it because of things being so bad in the country today? Or is it just another excuse to blame others for your troubles?

Madonna out to adopt another poor kid from another country. Why are these celebrities going out of the country to adopt kids when we have so many here in the U.S. that needs a home? I think it's just to up one another, one couple adopts some kids and wham, everybody wants to hop on the band wagon. Stop going out of the country and stay here and adopt these kids here that needs a home and loving parents.

Why do we want to help other countries and other people faster than we help our own people? Is it because we want to look politically correct? We want to be seen like heroes in others eyes., is that it. I'm sorry, but we need to start looking out for our country, our kids, our older people. When will the politicians get the nuts to do something about it and put a stop to all this sending money over seas to countries that could care less about the U.S., about what happens to us but will gladly take our money. So, my message to this administration is grow some nuts and put a stop to all this foreign aid and do it now.

Sound Off

I haven't been blogging in a while. Just been busy. Well, what do you think about all this bailout crap? Should we keep putting money in all these companies or just let them fail and start all over? What about AIG's bonuses? $165 million to give to these traders that helped mess up our country. They were talking about this money is given to employees that are key to the company and then we hear they these people are traders on Wall Street that helped us right into this mess that we are in now. AIG said these people were guaranteed this money, what a mess.

Now...What about Ruth Madoff? Should HER money be taken from HER? HELL YES!!!!!! How can Bernie and Ruth say with a straight face that she didn't know anything about how the money was being made and that $ 62 million is all hers. Okay people....raise your hands if you believe this bull crap. Why should they be entitled to have anything when they took so much from people. You have a 90 year old man greeting people as they come in the store, he was left with nothing. You have a couple stuck in Arizona in their RV, they lost their homes, their savings. These people worked hard, saved their money like they were told to do, retirement, then bam, lose everything. I say take everything...yes, even the $36,000. dollar piano.

Say It Isn't True!!!

Well,it didn't take long before he (the President) showed how he's going to deal with some of our problems. He sent a letter to the President of Russia trying to make a deal???? There are a lot of people that believe we need that missile defense system in Eastern Europe. You stand with use against Iran and I'll back off on the missile issue. Now what kind of crap is that.

Why the secret letter, contact? After all his big speeches about being open with the American people and talking crap about Bush and his administration begin so sneaky. Well, it looks like you are off to the same start Mr. Obama. If the missile defense system is want we need to protect us and our allies, why tuck you tail between your legs without even trying to deal with Iran on your own. It seems like you can't make a decision on your own, you need an easy out, an easy avenue to take. Quit taking smack about the old President and his sneaky doings and don't start doing what you said wasn't going to happen in your term. Hell, it's only been a month before you started your crap. Change, yeah right, the same old crap to me.

Give Him His Chance!!!!!

There is just so much going on right now. With so many people still losing their jobs, their homes. So many people are pinning their hopes on the President right now to be their knight in shining armour. It's not just President Obama that's going to make something work, it's all the people in Washington that we put in office that's got to pull together and make it work.

I will give the Prez kudos for coming out of the gate running and swinging. I heard someone on tv the other saying that's he's not done enough to get things going. I mean..hell, you have to at least let him try to get things working before you kick him in the teeth. I didn't vote for him but I really hope he proves me wrong and turns out to be one of the greatest Presidents we ever had. People in Washington need to get their heads out of their butt and start working together because we the people are tired of the same old crap they are pulling and we are not scared to tell them we will put someone in their seat to get the job done. So here goes......People ,we need to work together, stop waiting for the President to fail because that also means, we, the country also fails. Let's join together now for the America that we once were and for what we can be again....GREAT!!!!!

So Far, Same Ole, Same Ole

So, how is our President doing so far? Is he getting kudos from everyone that voted for him? How about the ones that didn't vote for him? From my point of view...he is trying. I'll give him that.

I would like to see some results though. Some of his appointees aren't what they seem are they. So far two of them owed taxes and with him preaching change, change how the government works and it's the same ole same ole. They are expected to get accepted anyway, shows you things haven't changed at all...now have they.

$160 Million Dollars, Not Worth It????

It's nearly time. Will this finally be the year that things get back on track for the U.S.? I can't believe how much money is being spent on Tuesday. $160 million dollars. That's a lot of money for someone to be sworn in for President, especially after he said that a lot of money shouldn't be spent because of the way things are with people losing their jobs,homes. My, my, how things have changed.

Out of the $160 million spent on this thing only $35 million dollars have been raised to go to paying for this inauguration. I already see him (Obama) going back on his word, I hope this is the only thing that he does. I hope that for our country he will do what he said he would do while he was running. He will be tested right from the get go. I believe he will have to be on his toes from the very beginning of his president ency. The sharks are already circling him and his cage door is going to come off the hinges early on. We just have to see how he reacts.Will he punch them in the nose, swim to the top and do his job or will he shut the door and stay in the cage, nice and safe?

New Year

Happy New Year! I hope this one is better than 2008. We get a new Prez in 15 days, so, new year and a new administration. Gas prices were coming down, but I noticed that they went up 6 cent since yesterday, because of the fighting in Israel. I wish that for just one year we can start the new year without someone fighting somewhere. A nice dream uh. Things have been hectic so I haven't really keep up with the news so I had better start paying attention so I can put my 2 cent in.Later
