I'm amazed that your amazed

that the US is in the financial mess it's in.  Look who was in office.  How many jobs has he had that has ended favorably anyone but himself.  At what point did you think he had a change of heart and would put his country before himself.  He didn't freaking show up for his military service!  

I sit here watching my 401(k) and meager stock portfolio tank.  There's not one day in the past 2 months that I've not learned of someone losing their job.   

I'm so very blessed to have found a job.  God has graced me with a wonderful family, a roof over my head, food to eat, and yes an internet connection.  I'm able to pay my bills (on time for the most part), and sometimes help others.  

Yes gas has gone down significantly, but who in the hell can afford to go anywhere? They're weak from not eating the food they can't afford with the jobs they don't have.  Talk about a freaking cure for obesity! 

Our old people are forced to stand up and hand out buggies and stickers at Wal-mart because their retirement plans were turned into dust.  

People are DYING every day in a war that should not be waged.  How on earth did you allow yourself to be hoodwinked into thinking that bombing Iraq was the answer to attack on America, September 11th?  Oh yeah they sound alike right? Afghanistan/Iraq.  Bin Laden/Hussein.   So much our education system. 

New Orleans is still in disarray (Good job Brownie)

Millions of (still) working Americans have no health care.  Parents have to choose between insuring themselves or their children if they do have it.  Medicine is priced out of the reach of many, yet he and his cronies have access to the best health care in the world...provided they don't go to Walter Reed for care.

I remember when he ran  the second time.  There were tasteful black stickers with white writing stuck on car windows.  "W the President" is what they read.  Betcha now you're thinking what I was thinking "W, the Wanker"

So as not to leave you feeling depressed here's two jokes:

Bush, a man for the people

Medicaid/medicare/social security.

hahahahahahahahaha.

Toldja I'd leave you laughing.

My Baby and His Baby

Computer rebate? It's doubtful

I can't believe it! My Fussalicious walked yesterday ... and again today! I'm so proud of my little minx.

Hope you can say the same!

It's been a long time coming

but change has come. President Elect Barack Obama, my heart is so full of hope and my excitement for that change you are bringing is barely contained.



Beyond blessed to be here for this change!

President Barack Obama

We have disregarded the color of a man's skin, and judged him by the content of his character. Dr. King's dream has come to pass.

I'm so full of emotion that I can't find the words to express the hope, and the excitement I feel for and about my country.

We have shown through voting that we can come together as a nation for the betterment of the United States of America.

I pray that God keeps President Obama and his family safe. Please God, shower him with the wisdom, compassion and knowledge he'll need to steer this ship of state.
