RE: New President
He sure has a pile of garbage left behind by Bush. I don't envy him. At least he's jumped right
in to work. Bush would be vacationing on his ranch right now.
That whole conspiracy thing about Obama not being a U.S. citizen is rubbish. That's been
going around for ages now. Thing is that he is half black and there are still a lot of racists in
the U.S. which boggles my mind but they're looking to spread anything they can think up about
him.
Then there's Rush Limbaugh who proclaimed on the airwaves "I hope Obama fails" which is
really great because in that he's telling us he hopes the country fails.
Then there's Cheney ranting about how America needs to be feared in the world. The thing is
we are feared in the world. He and Bush were voted in for 2 terms. People around the world
saw that happen and thought "now that's scary". Then he rants about Gitmo, his argument
being that closing Gitmo and releasing any of the prisoners would be dangerous because
they'd go back to being terrorists. Funny thing is that he hammers home his point by telling
everyone he knows that would happen because the Bush administration let handfuls of them
out and that's what they did. That's like someone saying if he tries robbing that bank someone
is going to get hurt and he knows because he robbed it yesterday and people got hurt. If
Cheney's argument was true, he indicted himself.
Honestly the only reason I have any hope the U.S. is going to climb out of this economic hole
is that the country has climbed out of holes in the past. I have my fingers crossed but Wall
Street really did a number on everyone. The Wall Street mavens called themselves Masters of
the Universe? Try Disasters of the Universe.
And a bird told me this joke. Why is snow like a man? You never know just when it's going to
come and you're not sure how many inches you're going to get.
