I have been wondering about all of those jobs that President-Elect Obama says that he and his team are gonna create. Who is gonna get those jobs? I don't know about your town, but everywhere I turn I see construction. A building going up or a new mall or store opening. If the economy is in such dire straights, why am I seeing such things. So if we are gonna create 2.5 million infastruction jobs, are they "all" gonna be in construction type projects? Repairs to old buildings and bridges, new structures, and so on. If that is the case, Americans will not prosper from these infastructure changes. Mexico will.

I am writng this to get a feel for what to expect on January 20,2009 if I am in Washington DC. I have train reservations already for myself, my wife, sister, brother, a friend and his wife and two teen chiildren. But the more I hear about the crowd size that is being expcted, well it makes me take a little pause. Don't get me wrong, I want to be there as bad as anyone. But the number I keep hearing is 4 to 5 million people. After a little thought, I am not sure I want to put myseld in that kinda situation and not now with what is going on..

What do George Bush, Terrell Owens, and Gov. Rod Blagojevich have in common? Paranoid Schizophrenia.... I told a fiend of mine we need to put on mask to keep from contacting whatever germ that is going around. Crazy gas must have been dropped on America because folks have sure enough lost their ever loving minds. I told a friend of mine this morning after hearing about TO that it seems we have a had some sort of gas introduced into the air and people are being affected by it...

"Hello ladies and gentlemen. First of all let me be clear, I will answer your questions today concerning the Governor of Illinois. But after today, as you know, I have a job to prepare for and I think the American people deserve a President that is focused on their problems and not the issues of a corruption that I have nothing to do with. If there are issues or connections that include me, then I will speak to them. Otherwise I am going to go forward and work on the issues I was elected to deal with. So, to clearly state my position again. After today there will be no more questions answered concerning the issues that the Federal Prosecutors are handling. If they need my help they know how to contact me and I will work with them. Now, for your questions".

I wrote a little while back that I thought the government ought to just give the $700 billion to us taxpayers and let us prime the market. Todays decision by Bank of America just makes me that much more sure I am right. Look at what had to happen in order for the bank to let loose of some cash that we gave them. Sad, sad, sad, that the government didn't put the same oversight on the damn banks that they are putting on the auto industry.

Now that the old "bait and switch" has been done AGAIN by the Bush administration does anyone get the feeling that we are getting screwed yet once more? I for one am sick and tired of having so-called "leaders" in Washington, that Bush has appointed or given jobs to, who don't know what the hell they are doing. Remember the "Brownie you're doing as great job" fiasco? Something needs to be done before he and his cronies burn the White House down, " It was an accident", before Obama can move in. This man and his friends are "RAPING" this country and the rest of us, and there is nothing we can do about it except wait for Jan 20, 2009.

With all the back-stabbing that is going on in the Republican Party, aren't we all very lucky that McCain didn't win? Being a good loser, as McCain showed with his words of concession on Tuesday, restores a little of the honor that he almost completly lost in his quest for the Presidency. But being a bad loser only shows what kind of charater you really have.

With so much emotion going thru me over the last 14 hrs all I have done is wipe the tears away. I ernt to bed in tears and I woke up this morning in tears. Tears of joy for this country, Obama's family and for the World. Watching history being made right in front of your eyes is some truly heavy stuff. But now that we have exhaled we can again start breathing. As Obama has said many time, "No where in the world could this happen". Last night is why this country is so GREAT. American has again proven that here, and no where else, could you have such a dream and achieve it. Now all of our childre can really dream. The first step has been taken to get us out of the ditch. We have a driver. Now it is time for all of us to pick up a shovel and start digging.

To be a part of this historical moment? A lot of times we can only watch as history takes place somewhere else in the country or the world. But once in a very blue moon is there an opportunity for the entire country to participate together. This is surely one of those times. So take a deep breath and begin the wait for the most historical moment that any of us have ever seen.

I just read an article on Huffington post about the "Christian" rights fear if Obama is elected. What is the difference between the far right and an Islamic fundamentalist? At this point I am not sure. Does the hate that flows thru these people come from the same river? Islamic fundamentalist are know as terrorist, what are the right-wing hard asses know as? They are the same people that would draw a B on their face, hang signs of aborted fetuses in public, and keep the game of fear alive. I don't care what color the lipstick is, this is the same pig. And they say Obama "palls around with terrorist". They have terrorist in their own party and don't say anything about them. Terrorist practice fear and so does the far right.

What a wonderful day. The market is crazy, it's cold outside, and I just got a call from a McCain campaign volunteer that tried to convice me that I was voting for the wrong person. Boy was this a bad conversation for her. But I gotta give her credit, she tried her best.

I wrote a diary the other day stating that I didn't think that the Republicans actually read the contitution. Low and behold the same day a story broke about Palin describing what "she" beleives is the VP's job description. Sad. The VP has only 2 constitutional jobs and she couldn't even get that right. What really scares me is she is one step away from the President's job and this country will become some sort of third-world country if something happens to McCain.
