And just when you thought that it was all about “Hope” and “Change”, ha! If we don’t stimulate the economy we are doomed! Don’t forget, stimulus equals spending more money than we have, on everything that can be imagined, and it won’t create many jobs. But hey, the democrats are in charge and Obama is bringing “Hope” and “Change”. Now you might be asking yourself, what kind of  “Change”, and “Hope” in what exactly? Well, we don’t know but it sure sounds good when Obama says it. There are even those who might experience a tingle up their legs at such rhetoric, right? 

 

Now let’s understand this completely by examining it closely. The democrats are in charge, Pelosi wrote the most massive, pork laden so called stimulus bill in history which will do little to actually create jobs and most of the money won’t be spent until several years down the road, and most of it is just pet projects and pay back for democrats and their supporters but if we don’t pass it we are going to be doomed, right? Ok, so how exactly does that work? If we applied that thinking to our own situations it might sound something like this. Ok honey, we are going to just go buy anything and everything that we have ever wanted or could have dreamed of having, we can’t afford it and don’t have nearly enough money to cover it, and by doing so we will be helping ourselves out of financial difficulty. Ok, does that sound completely nuts and crazy to anyone else or is it just me? Essentially though, that is exactly what we are being told right now. 

 

How in the world is the dismal picture of doom, gloom, misery, and despair that we are being told is coming going to resemble the “Hope” and “Change” that we were promised? Oh yeah, I forgot, it is all Bush’s fault and he caused it. I thought everything was going to be just wonderful and everything was changing and all was well in the world, isn’t that what we were told during the whole campaign? And weren’t the democrats in charge of both houses of Congress during the last six years too? So how exactly is it Bush’s fault if Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Nancy Pelosi were in charge?  

 

The biggest threat and worst nightmare that I can imagine is if this new administration is successful in forcing massive socialism down our throats and taking this country down a path to European style Socialism. Obviously we are already witnessing it with the government take over of any and all businesses stupid enough to accept so called “Bailout or Stimulus” money. If they take the money they shouldn’t be surprised that the government would then be able to dictate pay rates, how the money is spent, or any other dictatorial practice. This blatant attack and attempt to destroy anything and everything that could possibly be considered “free market” or capitalist will only further damage and harm the economy. My prayer is that there are enough people who will put sufficient pressure on their representatives to block as much of this legislation as possible. God bless America.

Isn’t is just amazing how quickly the rules change? You go from a republican to a democrat administration and all of a sudden all the rules change. We are told by Obama that he is not going to allow lobbyists to serve in his administration as he is putting several of them in positions. Geithner doesn’t pay his taxes for four years, something you and I would go to prison for, but he is confirmed as Treasury Secretary. And now, Tom Daschle who has tax problems will be forgiven and confirmed as HHS Secretary without a doubt. If this were a republican administration the howls of outrage would be heard non stop and coverage of this mockery of justice would be proclaimed by the mainstream media 24/7. But no, this is Barack Hussein Obama so he should be allowed to do anything he wants to do, right? This is the epitome of “Hope” and “Change We Can Believe In”, right?  I have never before witnessed anything like this before in my fifty plus years on this planet. Just as Nancy Pelosi promised us the most ethical Congress in history when they took power six years ago and we are still waiting for that one to happen. Is it just me or is there scandal after scandal with democrat after democrat having tax problems, being impeached, or just being indicted? Where’s the outrage in the media, where are the cries for justice by those impartial, non biased, journalists? Are we supposed to simply look the other way, shrug our shoulders, and just accept that this is standard procedure for the liberal democrats? Say one thing and do the exact opposite, lies no longer matter as long as you sound good doing it.  And remember, if you or I thumbed our noses at the tax laws or the IRS we would be thrown under the prison but not these guys. A simple act of contrition or a remorseful apology is more than enough to appease the anointed ones. Now more than ever before it certainly goes to show you that we must watch what they do, not listen to what they say. This administration has certainly illustrated why the political profession can so easily be confused with the world’s oldest profession.  But hey, maybe this is their idea of “Change” and “Hope We Can Believe In” in their liberal Utopian fantasy world.  Pray for the survival of our country, God bless America.
