Despair You Can Believe In...

Though I did not vote for President Obama, I was eager to see what this fresh, young, charismatic person could do for our Country...thought it was maybe time for fresh tactics and a wunderkind to show up to inspire and lead our nation back to solid ground after the difficult time Bush had in inspiring anything but an unwarranted hatred.

I want a 'do-over'.

President Obama appears to be in way over his head and continues to make blunder after blunder. If his intent was to destroy this country, then he is succeeding. He has been disrespectful of our greatest allies and continues to believe he can become chums with the Taliban. Hillary even gave Russia a giant red button and I have a difficult time believing that even SHE couldn't see the un-American symbolism in this very inappropriate gesture.

Every word out of the president's mouth causes the economy to tank further, Geithner is left on his own to figure the whole mess out while he couldn't even master Turbo Tax. The president needs to spend less time stomping carbon footprints all over the world on Airforce One long enough to watch the news and be brought up to speed on the havoc he is wreaking, how weak we as a country are being perceived.

North Korea, Iran, Russia are all very busy flexing their nuclear muscles, kicking sand in the face of our 97 pound weakling of a president and laughing at us as we self destruct and make ripe opportunities for them to call all the shots, if not launch a full scale invasion. President Obama is not talking nuclear anything, not even for energy when it is the most viable source. But, Iran has the bomb. Illegal aliens are crowding our jails and courts, usurping jobs, health care and dwindling funds from actual Americans. Mexico's drug war is now infiltrating the US and border towns are becoming more and more like Afghanistan.

And Obama's course remains unwavering.....kiss up to Cuba, kiss up to abortionists, eradicate wealth and remind us he is/was a pot head. His tax raises will further cripple the country and will give the poor next to nothing except a belief that the government is their sole source of EVERYTHING.

I am thoroughly disgusted, as are many people. Obama's approval rating will tank like the Dow, and only then will he realize his gaffs, just like a good politician should.

You Showed Some Spine Hanks - Thanks!

Last week Tom Hanks issued an apology for his poorly chosen slam against Mormons. He admitted his words were divisive and not at all helpful to unifying a society made of so many wildly different factions.Kudos Tom. I may not agree with you on much, but am happy to see you are able to stand up and admit you were wrong.

World at War

I currently have been viewing the epic documentary WORLD AT WAR. What a massive undertaking this was, and how valuable it is to be reminded of the horrific nature of issues left unresolved. This program should be mandatory viewing to every liberal who thinks our unfortunate involvement in a now Democratic Iraq rises to the level of the massive, world wide devastation of WWII. Since the documentary was made in the 70's, many of the 'players' from WWII were still alive and interviewed. It is a fascinating series that is graphic and horrifying, and as accurate and unbiased as possible.

The current state of mind in this country is more than worrisome, when silly groups like 'code pink' are given audience and who wield signs saying that they 'support the killing of troops in Iraq'. Such groups are turning our minds to Jello, and the very great possibility of a huge war as a result of this country's new found Neville Chamberlain politics looms just slightly over the horizon.

I want to support our new president, I want him to earn my trust. So far, I am unimpressed by much, other than that most of what Chicago politics has spat out has been people of poor character. I hope Obama can buck that trend....it is one hurdle he really doesn't need to jump at this point in our fractured country. But him going soft on Hamas, leaving Israel in the lurch, setting up TALKS with a loon like Ahmenidajad is giving credibility to terrorists. Jimmy Carter's latest blooper reel on the matter of Hamas would be laughable if so many lives were not on the line.

We should ALL watch World at War, to get some perspective...it appears our enemies have learned much from it. This country, however, seems too preoccupied with Brangelina and Brittney Spears to learn anything of value from a series that is admittedly very long, grueling and gruesome to watch.

But that is the nature of war.
