As Senator John McCain sashshays to the left to distance himself from Bush and Obama sidles up to the religious right to emphasis that he has the right moral values it is getting more and more difficult to tell the cat from the raccoons. Or this election from any other.Wasn't this one suppose to be about change? Didn't us Democrats vote for Obama over Hillary because he was for change and she seemed a bit like the old guard? Wasn't this year the Democratic party was at last going to give us some hope?
Well, I'm not feeling it. In fact I have not blogged here for several days because I was just too stunned at what I was watching happen to all that hope for change. Now McCain is talking about change. But then he was so wonderfully positioned in Columbia when at last the hostages were rescued. Not unlike Bush reading to a kindergarten group during 9/11?
OK, I am a cynic. Seems like I have seen this same song and dance before. But now it seems this may well be our last dance. Because if something does not change one of two things may well happen: 1) we get taken over by another country after we crumble or 2) we finally wake up and riot in the streets.
Any opinions out there on that? Or are we all suddenly silent because we cannot believe what is happening yet again. Well, if it gets down to only a choice between age and beauty I am going for beauty. Got to feel good about something.
I'm puzzled myself. What Obama's staff and advisers need to understand is that his original stance is THE reason voters flocked to him in the first place. Movement to the right just to gain a voter here or there will see more become dis-illusioned with him.

Our country definately needs to wake up and take action.
ReplyDeletestop sending all of our business to other countries, the younger generation needs to throw away all their extra electronics gadgets they don't have to have are start working, we need to get really serious about making a change to an energy we produce here at home-not sending all of our money out of country and being at their mercy-and it goes on and on-I am glad I live in the woods and can become more and more self independent as the need arises-
