I cannot recall a period in my life or in the history I’ve read where the United States has had such low caliber dim-wits in Congress. It starts with the poorly informed leadership of Congress. Pelosi and Reed simply have no idea what they are doing. They are not leaders… they are embarassements. They are not citizen legislators, they are career politicians who represent less than 1% of the population of the United States, but yet they impact each and every American. Our founding fathers never dreamed that politicians would become life-long legislators. My hunch is that they presumed most citizens would do their civic duty and then step down. So if someone like Pelosi came along within a relatively short-period of time, they would leave office. New blood would replace the old blood and in the process the status quo would be challenged. Sadly, we have career politicians who have never held a “real job”, never driven their own car, never even shop for their own groceries. Term limits must become the battle cry of all Americans. Without term limits, the country is going to become more and more polarized… not to mention over-run by illegal immigrants.

Obama for President… what are we thinking!
_______________________________________________________
I have been on this earth almost 50 years. I have lived through the Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II presidencies and for the first time in all those years I have no respect for our process of electing our leaders. In nearly 50 years of my life, I don’t believe there has been a less impressive presidential candidate or president than Obama. He has accomplished very little compared to my past Presidents or presidential candidates, and he has not accomplished significantly more than myself when all things are considered.
“How in the world did we get to this point?” To attempt to understand, I asked a close Liberal friend, who I respect highly, why anyone would seriously consider Obama. She said: “Let’s give some new blood a chance”. Regrettably I think far far too many people are thinking like my friend. That scares me as Obama is not an impressive character except to say… he seems to be growing into the portrait the media has painted for him. So again I ask: “What are we thinking!” Just as a GED is not equivalent in “real terms” to a high school graduation… community organizing, a few years in the Senate and a law degree does not prepare one to be the President. There is no substitute for certain life experiences and the wisdom of age. Obama simply does not have what it takes TODAY… to be President. I really wished he had waited another 4 years… he just is too weak.
My First Blog… who cares ?
Seems everyone is blogging these days, so why should anyone care that another blog has just begun. I suppose individual blogs are largely meaningless. But I also suppose in a strange way ideas, thoughts, or opinions no matter from whom they come, help add to our collective consciousness and in some esoteric way help transform our views of the world… hopefully positively. So with this in mind, I begin my blog and I begin adding to our collective consciouness
