Up Up and Away

Here we are only six days to the end of an era. Hopefully it will be the beginning of something new and fulfilling. I have slammed the right only because well, they're a little loony in my opinion, and I think the lesser of the "two evils" is really the better right now. We will see what our new Pres. has to offer in the new path this great country will take.
I will support whom ever wins and pray that the right choices are made.
Barak has been accused of socialist values with his support of the little guy. Um..well, isn't the little guy us, "bailing out" the big guys socialism??? Heck yeah it is.
O.k. so Barak served on a board with that terrorist dude. That makes him a terrorist supporter? That means if you ever meet someone, or talk to a person who has committed a crime, you too will be a criminal? What the hey!!?!?
There is not one way to help our country the pick up is going to be slow and tedious. I just don't think right now that the right will do what is "right". It's my humble opinion that we need to take care of ourselves as a nation and do what we have to. But the bailout? Really? If I or anyone I knew were in financial trouble, would Fannie Mae or any one of those companies help? Not for a second.
So again, think about where we are in our history. What we need to make this country the best it can be. It's not an easy task, but don't sell us (and yourself) short. There is nothing to be afraid of. Most distrust and aggression comes from fear. If it's Obama's name, just say so what. If it's the fact that he is a Muslim. Just say so what? He is a person that instills hope and promise to the back bone of this great country.
When big companies get tax brakes, it isn't jobs that are created. It's big bonuses for CEOs and managers. Exxon doesn't say, "oh well, we've received a billion dollar tax break..let's hire ten thousand new employees and add to the economy..." No, they give it to the top dogs as expense accounts, and vacations, and holiday checks. Do those in a higher position deserve bonuses...not with the tax break...use profits..use the owner's money. Don't bleed me for your unnecessary lush lifestyles.
We were for so long trying to see what was so great about McCain. When Obama speaks, he points out what is so great about me, my wife, my sisters, my parents, my nephews, my neighbors. The middle class, who has been dragged around for so very long finally have someone looking out for us.
So many have told me, or more warned me that I'd better be ready to apologize after Obama gets elected and ruins things. That will not happen. Sen. Barak may be the left side's poster boy, but he is different. He stood out from the rest of the candidates. That's what greatness is. You have the established "machine". Then there is one who walks to the beat of her/ his own drum. That is what makes this country great. The individuals who are just not like the rest. Who can command an audience and inspire the hearts of a country's people. Sheep do not lead the Shepard.
Come on people, let's move toward a better America!
