Certainly, we all want this man to succeed and we all are willing to give him a chance, but frankly how long must we who are dying wait? If your in cardiac arrest help is relative. I'm sorry and once again I apologize the sum is a total of all its parts and while the head may be functioning the body [Congress] is that same old tired, true, worn and lousy group. In my opinion they have been dead for quite sometime now body and soul, by deed and fact.
According to the media Americans are willing to give this new president a wide birth. Waiting two years or longer for "help to arrive", things to turn around. Well for me and many like me, please send over the priest because the last rites are required. That says to me clearly and precisely that for the most part most Americans have and are full of that magic word that starts with a C and ends with a P. With that statement by the media CBS and NBC and others of their kind that says it all. Now I suspect poor blanks and Hispanics and yes even poor whites to say that. They have nothing else to lose, only gain. Yet average Americans, give me a break. Yes that says a lot about them. Ok I'll say it in as easy a term as possible, ____ off.
When a person is in cardiac arrest we do not need a brain surgeon we need a heart doctor. It seems we have none. I'm sorry chance yes, action now, big difference. The comments in the St. Pete times speaks to it all. Wasted ink, wasted thoughts yes evidently I have been wrong about Americans.
Now we must understand this. America is an aging nation, fact. Through abortion and birth control the old are significant in number and growing. Our president elect stated "we must do everything to not pass huge debt onto the backs of our children". Ok, do YOU really believe we don't have that already? Do you really? Social programs such as Medicare and Social Security will bust out soon if new sources of revenue are not immediately addressed. A new form of government will need to care for all these people, millions who will lose those benefits, fact. Who will pay? I'll ask you again. Who will pay? You got it your children and theirs and through new taxes on those that have and buy.
So in the first 100 days in office when that report card comes out our president elect will get an . Why, because it is what it evidently is. We, that is people do not like reality even if truth, we hide and say it makes us more negative. Really, in my opinion it should make us stronger and more determined but then again evidently not in this day and age.
Like immigrants of old who had a large number of children chiefly for economic reasons, these new illegal immigrants are in that same situation as they were. Not all because as they climb the latter they decrease family size, another fact. It is the same all over the world in poverty stricken area's, fact. Children are assets to the family, they produce income.That is reinforced by religious beliefs, something on the wain here in America. Notice I said beliefs not mere professing, ouch. So that does two things. One it fills the pew at church and you will find large denominations in favor of illegal immigration and subsequent citizenship. Secondly it creates a low wage worker force. Both necessary in a hollow industrial environment which we are like it or not. Yes and as we provide education to their children they will become the new backbone of this nation. Much like the Tampa Bay Bucs getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. Yet and this yet is significant, there is a hard transition and it will take time and sadly many will "fall by the wayside". Hey that's life right? That says it all and Aemricans that have or don;t will wait. The rest breath dep and hold on.
The associated press today published an amazing article by a young black man Deep Hajela. The Title MLK's dream also included economic justice. In that article the writer spoke [excerpt]
"The crisis could widen the already large financial gaps between whites and blacks and make it more difficult to attain King's dream of economic equality in America" Get that at all? A great sentence. ["more difficult to attain"]. Blacks and the poor and the average whites already cannot meet minimum standards for buying or owning a home. Yet that isn't evidently even an issue? Here are some more excerpts.
"I believe that Dr. King would caution us not to rest on the election of a black president and say our work here is done," said Kendra King, associate professor of politics at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta.
Although King is best known for his civil rights work, he was a staunch advocate for economic justice. In the months before he was killed, he had been working on the Poor People's Campaign and calling for an economic bill of rights. When he was assassinated in 1968, he was in Memphis supporting a sanitation workers' strike.
While the election of Barack Obama is a huge step toward King's dream of a time when people are judged on the content of their character and not their skin color, economic data shows racial disparities are still pervasive when it comes to financial equality."
In my opinion never in history was this proven more then in this election. There just was nothing, by fact of deeds to elect this man on his record or otherwise. Sadly truth and sadly people will be offended. Once again we must speak politically correct, truth does not matter.
So I end with hope because in reality there is nothing, nada, zilch to hang onto but that. Hope like the rest of you. Yes and I will hope my friendly banker will not foreclose. I will hope they grant unemployment compensation and soon. I hope they will continue elder services for sick older homebound people. I hope our kids will not have to walk across town to go to school and they have a teacher. I hope jobs will come back, good jobs not just low end short hour jobs. I hope manufacturing will come back. I hope there is no Comprehensive legalization of crime. I hope they put an end to usury. I hope for peace in the world. I hope for better days. I hope America survives.
No not negative just that when your dying you need hope now, not later. Only later when you have "time". How many have time? When someone else is on the death bed there is plenty of time, that is for you.
All I have to say is Mr. Obama, go get em because in your 4 years prior, sadly, in my opinion by your own record, you were part of the problem. Now lets see you fix it. Just reality and fact. So although many want to give you time, the time needed for the bailouts was pretty quick, please hurry. You see my oxygen has run out, my life support collapsed and I have no time left. Only for Americans who know what I am saying! The rest well what can one say? It just doesn't evidently matter.
