I don’t want to hear another Prop 8 whine or another "I’m sooo disappointed in Obama for [ fill in the blank ].

Listen – if you think you can do better, then where in hell were you when the rest of us needed real help? I’m a retired male whose retirement benefits disappeared along with a bunch of financial institutions. I’m back to work at a time when work is hard to find (duh!) and thank God every day for what I have. I may not be happy with the hand life dealt me, but I’m damned thankful for my wife and kids and grandkids.

I’ve been a Democrat all my life, worked for years in the county party, and supported a number of people who either turned out to be either dependable friends or total rat bastards who tried to use their position to line their pockets. I’ve seen good people destroyed and bad people lauded in the political process. I’ve seen liars succeed and honest men fail for no other reason than failure of the voters to see the truth. Benjamin Disraeli once said, 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." It seems in politics, the last two are predominant. Don’t trust polls.

It might just be possible that the Bush administration has bankrupted the United States and is keeping its collective head down to avoid a public explosion of anger and, perhaps, violence as the American people realize that everything they’ve worked for, everything they believed was theirs has been systematically looted by the most successful thieves in the history of the United States.

Worse yet, the Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) – a private corporation – collaborated with the US Treasury to secretly loan at least $2,000,000,000,000 (2 trillion) USD to US financial institutions over and above the $700,000,000,000 (700 billion) USD publicly handed over to the same institutions with the promise of "full transparency," a promise which has yet to be delivered to the US public.
