Bob Basso

It seems that President Obama has called Bob Basso to the White House. Mr Basso is the guy who dressed up as Thomas Paine and put the video up on YouTube "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeYscnFpEyA" I suspect Obama is upset because the guy makes so much sense. Bet he tries to make him stop.

Rush Limbaugh

I can't believe the stunt they are trying to pull on Rush. I watched his interview with Hannity and heard what he actually said. It was not what the media is trying to portray. I truly believe it's an attempt to take the focus off the economic problems and put the focus on the Republicans. I say don't fall for it, keep your eye on what the Democrats are doing. Obama spent in about 5 weeks more than had been spent since the country was founded to when he was sworn in. I for one believe that the Government should spend the way the rest of us have to.
On another note, I watched Mike Huckabee over the weekend and he suggested term limits for Congress which I agree with. His statement was 8 years then they could go home and stand in the lines they created for the rest of us.

Economy

I have been watching and what I've noticed is so far every time President Obama talks about the Stimulus or the BailOuts the stock market drops. That tells me that maybe it isn't a real good idea to be spending all this money.
The idea should be job creation and that is done by making it viable for companies to do business. Lower taxes would be a good start. As far as the Auto companies go: Limit the Union involvement unless and until they have as much invested and stand to lose or survive the same as the workers. That way they will work for the good of everyone.

So called stimulus package

Seems that the people didn't have much say in the so called stimulus package. I only know first hand about my state. I called my Senators and Congressman for my district and the numbers were over 85% against it. I can only assume that was the result in most states.
I'm afraid of what the end result of that bill might be. For that reason I want to encourage everyone to keep after their Representatives, let them know how you want them to vote and hold them accountable. The problem with the Folks in Washington is they seem to lose interest in what the people want once they get elected and the only weapon we have is our vote so I say use it. It will take some time but I realize now that if we don't take a stand and vote for people who will do the will of the people we will keep getting sold down the river. I hope enough people are as tired of politics as usual as I am. We do hold their fate in our hands, it's time the people used it.

Government

I was watching The Huckabee show on Fox tonight and he was reading off the whitehouse website. The items he was reading concerned me so I went and read it. If you want to check it for yourself go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/civil_rights/ you have to read it carefully because the way it's worded it sounds good but the way I read it we will lose some of our rights. I prefer to keep what rights I have left.
I intend to email my representative and let them know my thoughts on anything that is coming up for a vote nand if they aren't voting the way the majority of the people direct them to I say don't vote for them when their term is up. Take for an example the Sec. Treasury, a tax problem should be enought to keep him from getting confirmed, there are other problems but the one should be enough.

Random thoughts

I haven't posted in a little while but sometimes I hear things on the news that set me off.
Today I heard that a lady in California pulled her friend out of a car after an accident. Now the Supreme court in CA says the woman can sue her for it. Makes me wonder if anyone will be able to help another without getting sued for doing it. Lawyers are making it impossible to be a good person.
So what we are getting is a society where you can't help people. The Government wants to take what you earn and give it to people who did not earn it. There is a small group who seem to have enough influence to get God taken out of everything, I can't understand how a minority can dictate to the majority. Then there is all the stuff about prop 8. I have no problem with an individuals personal preferences but I do have a problem with being called some of the names if I chose another view. Agree or disagree, fine, I believe I have a right to my opinion just like the other side does. I have seen so much on the news, Gay protests, they call us hate mongers as well as things that are even worse, I've seen them attack an elderly woman, knocking the cross out of her hand. Seems to me they are more like hate mongers.
