It is what it is, Hotrod.

The electorate that put this man in office bears absolutely no resemblance to the one I grew up with. I was 8 years old when we were attacked at Pearl. Of course, to an 8 year old ( who's not getting bombed ) war is exciting and romantic, but during the next 4 years, as I saw more and more "gold stars" appear in the windows of my neighborhood, it became more sobering. By the time I was 12 and it was over, the headlines and accounts of the battles were no longer childhood fantasies. I remember what the people were like then...hard working, tough and independent.

Before the war, FDR established a lot of "make work" projects...some of them good...some not so good. The overriding aspect was the philosophy of doing something for the money the government gave you. Today there's a sense of entitlement that pervades the country.....the sense that a person has an inherent right to be taken care of by the government.....the idea that life, liberty and happiness are guaranteed by the Constitution. No...no...no, Charley, the framers didn't mean that. They said you had a right to the pursuit of happiness. That means work.. not hand outs...and by the way, you'd better work hard to preserve the other two rights so that people like Pelosi, Reid and Obama won't take them away through their own grand design of " O Paridiso", (that reference was for the scores of opera fans on this board) :>):>):>) But alas, there are too many people who subscribe to that system......some dummies don't even realize it.:>)

These are the people who elected this man, together with the limousine liberals and guilt ridden whites. When you ask them if they subscribe to Socialism, they recoil in horror and deny it, vociferously. Of course there are those who are flat out lying and the rest who are too stupid to see it happening. A few have experienced buyers remorse already but most will follow this guy into an inevitable social and economic hell. These are the same idiots who call government spending "investments". I don't know about anyone else, but when I see my tax dollars wasted by those nimrods in Congress, that's the last word I'd use to describe it.

The Leftist media, has made Obama a star and will do it's best to filter the news in his favor. Obama's lemmings will lap up this swill and remain loyal regardless of the consequences of his leadership. This guy's egotism and narcissism has no bounds and that's the scary part. He actually thinks he can't make a mistake.

Do I want him to fail? You bet I do.

Teach your kids and grandkids to question everything their teachers tell them. Be aware of their curriculums. This movement towards Socialism is insidious and infects every segment of our society.
