If It Was Easy
I have done my best to stay away from politics during the election season. There was too much venom in the air and I knew that I had a poisoned perspective about the election. I did not like either candidate mainly because they both leaned too far left for me to even respect their points of view. It was not until the Vice Presidential pick for the Republicans that I actually found anything to support. Now that the election is over and due to the cyclonic spiral into the abyss of the economy caused by the mix of poor governmental decisions and a generation of living beyond our means, neither party will win and the country is in for another bout of FDR style socialist programs. Can anyone say money pit? At least the rich will keep their houses in the Hamptons and ACORN will be allowed to sign up a few more members of the Dallas Cowboys so they can vote in Montana.
I have talked to a few people about the election. The two responses that I got were, "I didn't vote for him" and "I voted for Obama." I always have to ask the obvious question, "What about Obama made you vote for him?" The response to that question has been universal and very disappointing. "He is a great speaker." They know nothing about his policies or history or the direction he wants to take the country. He speaks well. You've got to be kidding me.
I credit the victory of Obama to George Bush. Not because of the war in Iraq or any of the decisions that he has made. George Bush has proven to be a man of integrity. When he made a decision, he thought it through and stuck to his guns. He did not waver when public opinion (mainly steered by the nightly news and opinion polls) repeatedly told him he was wrong. Time has shown that he was right to stay the course. No, it was the medias depiction of his inability to correctly use the English language that handed the election to the highly polished lawyer. His ability to read a speech in a convincing manner was what people noticed. Once again it is style over substance.
As to what will happen in America, we will find out in January when the mantle of responsibility changes. I know what I think is going to happen. I can only pray that I am completely in error. Somehow, I get the feeling that it is time to be afraid, very afraid.
