I want to believe in Obama...but I don't; I can't. It's just the same politics as usual. As I heard someone say, "Rome is burning, and the government is handing out fiddles." Forget Republican and Democrat. I've lived 47 years and have never seen this country so bad. And when I hear that it's the government who's going to bail us all out, I'm more scared than I already am. Furthermore, spending billions in tax dollars on earmarks--be it Democrats or Republicans--is insanity to me. I don't have the answers. But I know the "Messiah" hasn't a clue either...and it scares the hell outta' me.
