Where are you guys????? Barack Obama for Christ's sake...and nothing substantial outta PJ. Why??????
After 8 years of Bush and the Republican Party-President Obama was really a no brainer.I'm for the best man and sorry the Republicans screwed it up so badly that even a second JFK wouldn't have made it. Henry K
HEYYYYYY:) Really, where are you guys? I mean as far as the U.S. tour is concerned. You see these times are getting tougher. With my numerous attempts of decreasing my credit card debt, Stock pileing food for my family of four. Running my own business while extending the majority of any extra jobs out to my family and friends who have lost there jobs in recent months. Fears of a socialist nation under GOD which thankfully the faith is still growing. It's the music of PEARL JAM that's going to give us the strength and inspiraton to reach out beyond our family and friends to make a difference in numbers through the light of there music. IN 2009 WE CAN PUT BUSH BEHIND. DEVOTED FAN....
It's true that bush screwed up when he dropped the traditional conservative values of the republican party and started spending like a drunken sailor......But if people like to blame him for the Bush resession, then it's time to admit to the Obama depression that's coming. Sorry, but if Bush spent too much, how does everyone seem to ignor the fact that Obama is spending tripple!!! If you're in debt already, you can't get out by firing up the credit cards. It's time we all face the truth...we were sold on bumper sticker taglines, and there is no real substance to anything Obama says...Lies, Lies, Lies....Obama is a slug and he's trying to take down the whole country.
I'm going to join my local "teaparty group" and support the heritage and ideas of our founding fathers (all of which were conservative). I'm done with Mr. 'one term socialist' Obama!!!
I love the way the so called conservatives (another name for tight fisted old money folk - if your quoting your founding fathers!) blame Obama for triple spending.... He didn't get us into this mess. Your good ol' boy's did. Now it looks like some of of the people who were hiding their money will finally have to pay some taxes. Oh whoa is me!!!!! Welcome to the real world!!!!!
Oh, and if you were sold on a bumper sticker then you were really wacky. Who votes for someone without doing real research. If you would have gone online and checked your salary on Obama's website you would have found out exactly what your tax situation would have been "teapartier" !
Also, why would Obama want to take down the whole country? Did he make a deal with the Bush family?
Oh my gosh so many things to say...
You are correct. A unified Republican Congress and White House certainly did not do the country any favors. But a unified Democratic White House and Congress seems to be working out the same. Believe me, whomever says they are going to 'tax the rich' will certainly end up taxing whomever they can. It is easy to get the populace to rile against the rich b/c they think they aren't included. Then when they are part of the nuveo-riche they complain about the taxes they pay.
We're seeing that now with 'health care reform' and how Congress want to make a law for 100% of US citizens for an issue which effects 5% of the population. Yet there is no mention of how to decrease health care spending like community health care clinics, nurse practioners, posted prices per procedures, etc, which would all reduce health care by making it more transparent.
But why are certain interested parties now trying to cram this reform down the populace's throat even though the pols now show more ppl are against this health care reform than are for it? And more ppl think the country is headed in the wrong direction than those who think it is headed in the right path?
Everyone has an agenda. As soon as the common person realizes this and votes with their conscience rather than a hopeful tagline and a nifty poster by a former graffiti artist we'll all be better off for it. I mean if Japan- of all places- can do it why can't we?
