As this election draws near I feel a certain dread.  I feel that the pendulum has finally swung.  The pendulum of ignorance and a lack of critical thinking ability.  I do not confess to be a genius by any means, nor will I ever.  However, to see a majority of the people of this great nation making a decision that is quite frankly absurd is making me feel more sad then anything else.  Am I asserting that everyone should agree with me, absolutely not?  This is America and we can disagree, however to make a choice in this election based on something other than the facts is nuts.  So Obama is young, different, and a great talker.  McCain is old, studders on occasion and has been painted as Pres. Bush's evil twin.  On the surface Obama would be the obvious choice.  Unfortunately, more of the electorate in this election will not scratch the surface than ever before.

 

     As I am sure that you know, the stock market is in the process of a bloodletting and no one knows when it will end.  Businesses in this country are streched tight as a drum.  The American people are in an unnerving time.  Is it the end of capitlism, I don't think so.  Is it  time for an absolute beginner for president, Lord no.  The evidence and the message is clear but, no one is listening.  Everyone is consumed with America being liked by the europeans, and looking good having tea with the Saudis.  What people have forgotten is the pain of 9/11 and the fact that we basically funded the operation with payments for oil.  The American people have forgotten that America is the greatest nation on this earth.  They have agreed to make children disposable and homosexuality acceptable.  I don't have anything personal against Sen. Obama.  I just don't trust him, not because he is a different color, but because he is inexperienced.  I have more experience than he does in the private sector.  I can't trust him to protect me from terror, can't trust him to grow an economy.  Even though he is going to get the White House at less than market value I can not feel good in my gut about it. 

 

     I wish that I could say that this was all a bad movie but the only one's who live that dream are the celebrities who love Obama. Their dreamland is not my homeland.  My greatest fear is that Obama is another Jimmy Carter, in way over his head.  This time is too crucial for on the job experience.  I heard someone say that "We get the government we deserve, because we elect it", so when you see those who will celebrate this election, remember that while the working Americans will suffer, we will get the government they deserve.
