@ Angelika…what change is that. Please explain what makes you think he changing things. His plans are for more Government, more welfare, and buy our way out of the economic mess with money we do not have. Explain where the change is.

He represents nothing but some charmer that people fell for as the Messiah. He immediately surrounded himself with Washington insiders and has plans to spend more money. Sound familiar?

George Bush pushed through two stimulus packages that put money in our hands while taking it out double in local and state tax increases. Obama is insisting on another one right away and if the Lame Duck Congress can’t get it done, he will in his first days in office.

Let me also remind you that he was on board with the biggest bail out blank check in the history of the United States. It worked, the Stock Market is still dropping.

He now wishes to extend that to bail out the auto industry. Is he knocking on your door to bail you out when you mismanage your household?

Government can not buy their way out of this mess with your child’s future income. It does not work that way.

As far as People participation, there was an overwhelming majority against the bail out (for good reason ) and the Government officials snubbed us all and voted for it. Now you and many like you want a man who wants more Government involvement and control of our lives?

I say hell no, I will not go that way without a fight and kicking and screaming all the way. The Government should be for the people by the people not in control of the people. Let the sheep be herded, I prefer to still be a man!

Barack Obama represents hope for people. Which may make them DO SOMETHING instead of sitting and complaining about what’s wrong in the country.

The vote was about change. We didn’t like the way the country is headed, so we voted for change.

Now we feel like change is coming, that’s all.

In fact, late night comedians are already saying they will not tell jokes about him. They claim because they do not know enough about him. I say they are scared of back lash.

This is sad considering politicians have always been joked about and people have always voiced their opinions one way or the other. I guess his race is a huge part of why he became the media’s anointed one.

As for me, I do not care if he is white, black, or even green. I care about what he does for this great nation. Fail or succeed, I am going to call it like it is, I hope you will continue to also.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks Katy!

@ Bisdak, thanks, I am glad to see there are some who are not hooked in!

@ Sweetiepie, what, you mean actually take care of yourself? What is wrong with you? Maybe you have a case of being a true Patriot and a true American with the heart of a pioneer. This country was built off the back of hard work and an honest days pay. It was not based off passing the money to those who will not work.

I do not believe we should ignore those who really need help. But I do believe we should help those who are too lazy to help themselves.

Thanks for all the comments so far. This is good stuff coming from good people!
