Like everything else these politicians throw at us there is always a qualifier. Here is the latest from Mr. Obama.
Associated Press - KABUL, Afghanistan - "Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama pledged steadfast aid to Afghanistan in talks Sunday with its Western-backed leader and vowed to pursue the war on terror with vigor if elected, an Afghan official said".
Any time line Mr. Anti War candidate? Where will he troops come from? Oh, I know the same ones that did three tours in Iraq. Just like everything else it all will come right back to where we were when we started this movement for "CHANGE". Yes, change what?
Let me say that again for those enthralled by this man and that party of CHANGE. The same ones who said they would be out of Iraq two years ago. Oh don't fret that is all Bush's fault, right. Hey Moo, is too complex for many?
Pelosi calling Bush a failure. Is she for real? In my opinion they are all Birds of the Same feather period. They think alike, do alike and perform alike. In my opinion if they were in business they would have been terminated long ago or of course promoted up the line with the rest of the Peters Principal types. God help us what we have turned loose on our nation.
So what do we get today? Even more fluff I call it. It seems Obama is now an international figure with leadership credentials, meeting with heads of state and discussing the complexities of the world, jobs, oil, the war, immigration. Hey how about coming back home and doing your job? You know what you "promised to do" but only NOW.
I find it strange what he says seems to differ each day. At least with McCain he is consistently the same. In fact that is his only message.
An extract from Reuters-
Reuters - "U.S. strategy in Iraq and troop levels are central issues in the November election race between the first-term senator from Illinois and Republican candidate John McCain."
"Obama said in brief remarks that he had a "very constructive discussion with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki." I note the "very constructive". Yes Maliki wants us out of Iraq now and Obama wants to switch us to Afghanistan. Works for me, right? He hot us out of Iraq and back into, oh well it does have a different name. Hey and we are fighting real terror there, right?
Well enough of that horse of a different color. What if we skip to the Foreclosure mess we see the bail out of Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac, two private companies in trouble. What does that 25 Billion bail out mean to Americans? It means We the People own 50% of all the mortgages that are out there and so what if they go belly up. It's your money, you haves, I do not have any.
As reported in the Associated Press - "Paulson said in a New York speech Tuesday that Congress needs to quickly approve a support package for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - which guarantee or own almost half of the home mortgages in the country - to make sure they maintain their critically important role in housing finance. He said their continued operations were "central to the speed with which we emerge from this housing correction".
In other words, in my opinion, if we don't abandon ship . We continue to buy into all this. We accept it. We tolerate it. We condone it. Yes we even encourage it. Why, well does that really matter, really? We are what we are and our works go before us.
Certainly I only reach those who continue to read me and those numbers are few and those who agree even fewer. Yet, very definitively and profoundly each day I pick up a news paper, read Searchwarp or other blog's and there are my sentiments and thoughts almost word for word. To me that is rewarding enough. Yet only in November will we see the fruit of our works. Yes what we as a nation have done, or failed to do.
Will things get better before the election, of course, Moo. Might we get more stimulus, Moo. Hey its only paper. The real issue is after it is all over. That my friends is where the truth lies. So has and will anything really change? Credit Card Usury, Foreclosures, Comprehensive Immigration, Good American Jobs. Hey I already have my answer in the signs and symbols all over America. The handwriting on the wall. The sign on the bankers desk. The letter of rejection of credit. The use of terms such as Credit Worthy. Yes too much tow rite to and too much many could care less about.
Now just opinion but;
Mane, Thecel [God has numbered your kingdom and you have been weighed and found wanting ] and Phares [your kingdom is divided [have and have not] and you have been given to the Persians. Have we?
