Just noticed Kim leave a new comment about leaving a new post. I have no clue what to talk about??? Do I talk about the universal healthcare? Do I talk about Israel and Hamas and Obama and who's side he appears to be on. Do I talk about Gitmo preparing to be closed and sending detainees to Bermuda. Do I talk about Letterman and his "jokes" about Palin (I don't like Palin but still where was the uproar??). Do I talk about going 4 for 7 tonight in softball while playing with a new swing. what do I talk about??!!
What should we look into? What topic should be discussed?? I think one of the most alarming things I've seen is the change we've taken towards Israel. Are we one the same side as Hamas? Which is the same side as Iran? I can only imagine how excited Jimmy Carter is about all this. What a shame it is to have him be from the state of Georgia. He probably thinks Obama isn't doing enough to get Israel to stop building in these settlements. I can only imagine someone telling us to stop building in areas that we won through war.
Should we talk about who is going to pay the other 600 billion to cover the universal healthcare? 600 billion is coming from the rich. Perhaps some will come from reductions in medicare and medicaid payments but where is the rest coming from???
Should we discuss the whol save a dollar to spend a dollar? I find it so funny to hear them preach this idea? How can they attempt to act like they are fiscally responsible after this huge budget and deficit.
Should we talk about the show "I'm a celebrity get me outta here"? I've been watching it on MTV. I never knew how crazy Spencer and Heidi really are!!
What about Letterman and his apology and the lack of uproar.
I beat on the same stuff too often. Big goverment, too involve with too much! Crazy spending, no transparency (there's something bout Obama blocking the visitors log in the white house). I don't know. I need to read something and then write right afterwards once I'm all worked up. It's hard to do one of these when I'm just sitting around doing nothing.
So what are some ideas????????

What to do??
How many people out there are turned off from politics? How many people avoid listening to it on the radio, watching it on tv, or reading about it on the Internet? So many times I just want to say forget it and not ever look back. I think I would be a much more positive person if I did so. Perhaps that’s why others avoid it? It causes too much stress to get involved or to stay up on what’s going on. There are very few things that I’m certainly convinced of in my life. One of these few things is that those who support the current administration and say all is well with the direction we’re going simply are not paying attention. Perhaps b/c they do not want to pay attention for the above reasons. They were turned off by war and spending towards the war and all the negative media attention the previous administration received that they developed a habit of not reading/listening/watching. They learned they were happier just not listening. SO when the first person came along that claims he will change things all those who didn’t have the heart for war jumped on the bandwagon. So now all Obama needs to rely on is that he is not George W. Bush and he’ll keep a 60% approval rating until people start paying attention again! How long can those that support him say he’s not that bad b/c he’s not George W. Bush? I pray it can’t go on for 4 years! I don’t blame it on people’s level of intelligence. I blame it on what their heart will allow them to endure. The news is negative, politics is negative, everything in life is negative. There was a commercial a few months ago that played on the radio that was going on about how bad everything is and at the end of this little part they said something like, “and everything is worse than we thought”. That pretty much wraps up the media and what’s being reported. No wonder no one pays attention, it’s bad for your health!
I hope that soon we get over this and little by little people begin to see what’s happening. Our current President considers himself as either a king or a celebrity. He might as well hang out with Hollywood folks all day. He has a huge sense of entitlement as demonstrated by a date that cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’m not saying he can’t go on a date, but why can’t he work it in to one of his trips already planned? Does he really feel he has the right as President to go on a 3 hour date that would cost that much money? If he’s going to charge us that much money to go somewhere, have a meaningful purpose or at least stay there a few days to get some value out of the money we spend! I don’t care what anyone says about Bush traveling to Crawford, he never went there to go out to eat, a play, and then come immediately home! This is what the Hollywood rich do. Wasteful spending!!!! Robin Leech could do a show on this date with the intent to show off how great they are at their extravagant spending. How could anyone really listen to him and not call him a hypocrite? They couldn’t! It’s impossible unless they don’t know the meaning of the word hypocrite! He tells us to tighten our belt, stop wasteful spending, no private jets and no corporate retreats to Vegas or retreats on the tax payers dime. I guess in his defense he didn’t say no date nights??
And then going on to all the reckless decisions these guys are trying to make! Why are they involved in the operational decisions of any private company? Do they really think they can manage everything!? Especially when Obama hasn’t managed anything or anyone! What type of market research have they performed that motivates their decision making? Are these ugly GM cars really going to sell? He does realize that they have to sell for the company to make money, right? Or does he think as long as the car gets 39 mpg that he’s succeeded? Screw the fact that the consumer, you or me, must be willing to spend $20k on the stupid car!
I realize I’m not an expert on anything and I could easily be wrong on many facts, but there are some things I understand well enough to know that so many mistakes are being made! If you could point me to one government business that actually makes money then perhaps I would be a little slower to condemn every decision this administration makes! I’m not aware of any. If you can point me to a government business that you or I deal with that is a least a pleasant place to visit then perhaps I would calm down as well. The government is not qualified to do what it’s trying to do! They’re making things up as they go b/c they have no experience in what they’re getting involved in. And it’s a scary thing! They are going too fast without considering the consequences of their decisions. There will come a point where they’re going to say, oh crap, we’ve messed up. And then that’s when the taxes will come! And then Obama is going to go on another date b/c he promised his Jackie O - wannabe wife he would take her somewhere! They are so out of touch!!
If they could simply ask themselves a few questions before they make all their decisions! Is this idea going to have a return, will the car sell, will we chase all the brilliant minds out of this industry b/c they don’t want to be controlled by the gov’t, will the cost be too great, can we afford this, would I spend my own money on this idea, will this increase or decrease the growth of our economy, will this make America more weak or less safe????? I don't blame them for their way of thinking (except for the self entitlement he feels). I think the idea of having no rich and poor among is an excellent idea, as long as the society as a whole gives all they can to making society better. But you cannot forget the fact that we have lazy people out there who will mooch off the system if given the chance and we have greedy people out there that would retire before they have their money taxed and given to those that are not trying.
I have to stop somewhere, Iwas about to get back into Global Warming and cap and trade but I decided I could save it for another day. Hope you made it all the way through. Not really where I thought this post was going but I don't have the time to proof read and revise. I type until I'm done and that's what you get!
