Life is always the 20/80 rule. Why do only 20 percent of the people see the possibilities? Why do only 20% of the people find opportunity in crisis. Everyone else gives up. The 20% will always rise to the top, adversity is an opportunity. I just don't understand why so many people want to role over & wet on themselves. Yes, times are tough, thanks to the likes of Nancy Polosi, Harry Reid, Franklin Raines and others. Americans are the most resilient people in the world, this is not the time to give up, to turn our government over to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid & Barack Obama with their socialist/marxist/communist agenda. This is the time to stand up, tighten our belts & believe in ourselves. No one has all of the answers but giving up our Freedom to be whom we want to be, to do what we want to do, is not an option. There is a lot of corruption in our government, they have a retirement, and health care system that would break the bank if we all had it. Why are they more deserving than "we the people". They continue to vote for pay raises they don't deserve. Where are we going? I for one don't want government making decisions about who I am, what I do or what medical treatment I can have. No, I don't want Barack Obama, a man who denies his white heritage, who claims to be African American, it is possible, based on his heritage that his family were slave traders. I don't know, however history would point that way. He knows nothing about economics 101, yet people want to believe he will make their life better. He will only make it worse. He doesn't relate to my poverty, my financial challenges. To him I am holding on to my religion (I don't have one), my guns, he is wrong again, my hate, who do I hate, my grandchildren are a rainbow of colors/race. I can't relate to a multi million dollar home, I can't relate to $4 million per year, I just can't relate to Senator Obama, HOW CAN HE RELATE TO ME? I want a President I can trust, not one who governs by hindsight, not one who can't articulate a single independent thought, not one who multitasks and doesn't think one crisis might deserve more of his time. I want a President who will focus & be counted more than present. More government is not the solution, it is slavery. I had hoped we had moved beyond that. Unfortunately, under Obama, we will all be slaves to our government. Like a good Master, (maybe if we are good) they will feed us, give us medical attention & rape our dreams as they choose. Are you and your family special enough to overcome? To be one of the elite?
