Yeah, but be carefull with that 'we' elected Bush, it isn't all inclusive.

I recall British newspapers taking us for task the second go round
Something to the effect of: How can nn million Americans be so stupid?

I get my news from around the world in order to get some
kind of balance.

I'm finding U.S. news sources to be less and less credible all
the time.


I reallly do not believe Palin poses any kind of threat, she'll 
merely drain off enough votes to do a Nader on the Republicans as
he did on us in the 2000 elections.

Now mind you I no longer believethe Democrats, though now registered such,
are to be trusted now either.

There's a lot of enertia in Washington and this Democracy
has largely been 'privitized' by corporate lobbiests.

I figure it'll take near 20 years just to undo the damage done by the last
administration and that only if we get three consecutive good Presidents.

Obama all the more looks like he's pulling a "Goliath Davis" on us to me.

He was a local black man I supported for St. Petersburg police chief.
He said all the right things but once in office the good old boy network
and the existing enertia in the department thwarted him and ultimately he 
bailed.

This Democratic majority Congress hasn't much impressed me so far either.

That said, Obama is doing well on a few issues, just not nearly 
enough IMO. 

For my money, ALL professional politicians should be replaced
by people with something in common with the people, after all they're suppoosed
to represent us.
My first choice, merchants with the proven inborn sense to have successfully 
run a business.

How can they represent us when they have to kowtow to corperate supporters with
the kind of $ to raise a Billion dollars to run an Presidential election
campaign and tens of millions to run for Congress?
Rhetorical question
