OBAMANOMICS

I don't know how log this post will be. In my mind its been going round and round for quite awhile. I was watching MSNBC's Power Lunch today and heard how Obama's rating is creeping up, and Wall Street just loves Obamanomics. Something crossed my mind when I heard it.

WHAT THE FUCK?

OF COURSE WALL STREET LOVES IT! They got billions of dollars to stay afloat! They are living on the people's money; money we didn't want to give. I would have happily painted a bullseye on the streets below the AIG building with the words "LAND HERE" along the top of it. People think Michael Moore is a liberal asshole. Often I agree. However, he is right a lot of the time, stating the things people feel and cannot voice. Wall Street loves Obamanomics. Good LORD....I would too if I was Wall Street. You have not accountability for the shit you have done. Poor decisions and attempting to operate on false profits. Its debauchery, yet its being glorified by the media.

I voted for Obama, mostly because he wasn't McCain. I couldn't vote for an almost dead man and risk putting Palin in the White House. I suppose I just can't stomach Palins voice long enough to really understand what she stands for. However, come mid-term elections, every incumbent is not getting my vote. I am not voting party lines, I am voting for someone who is n ot using Washington as a job. Senators should not be using this as a career. Lifetime politicians scare me. Constituents need to be heard. If they do not respond to phone calls and letters (Washington residents voiced opposition to reforming health care 3:1, yet our senators voted YES to reform), then voting them out seems logical to me.

I am not political by any sense. I do believe, however, this country was built by the people, for the people and escaped the monarchy of a king. Change is good, when it can be agreed to on a bi-partisan basis. However, ramming it down my throat only makes me wonder where the motivation was in the first place. Joe Biden's words ring in my head, as he introduced Obama at a post-bill signing news conference, attempting to whisper, with microphones on "this is fucking historic." Even watching Nancy Pelosi take credit for something that really is not hers drives me nuts.

You know what would be historic? Lowering the unemployment rate. Rebuilding New Orleans and solidifying the levies to avoid this tragedy occuring again. Cure cancer. Improve feul economy on cars, and then make those cars affordable. Since the public purchases gas, give some profits back to the people in the form of fuel credits. Overhaul the welfare system and allow benefits for those that need them rather than those that abuse them. Take care of the people that elected you. Perfect the domestic agenda before foreign policy. Don't be a politician, rahter be the person you were before you got into politics. Remember what it's like to be an average Joe, before the perks. Above all else, FUCKING LISTEN TO THE MESSAGES PEOPLE LEAVE! If the people say no, you say no. Period. If you don't plan on voting for the people, don't be shocked, come November, when you are part of a blood path.

Let the revolution begin!
