"You're on your own". No words have ever been spoken that held more truth. Then President-Elect Obama made this the core root of the republican answer to his campaign. He promised to "CHANGE" the direction and told us that the republicans only cared about helping the rich and the rest of us were "On our own". Well, based on the fact that, now President Obama, is working to fulfill on his promises the republicans are doing "EXACTLY" what he said they would.
I watched CNN this morning and saw a report on the status of some of the schools in America. Walls falling apart, rooms over-crowded, teachers under pressure, leaking and crumbling buildings, trailers and closets being used as classrooms. As I watched in horror that this is happening in America I could only shake my head. I told people over and over for the last 8 years that Bush and the republics were turning us into a 3rd world country. At the rate they were going it was surely going to happen if McCain was elected. "THANK GOD" for all of you who voted to change the strategy and put the country in the hands of a "real" American. Even though the 'republics' still think he is not a citizen.
How can a person of sound mind and a loving heart, those on the right who say they are Christians, not want to help children learn under better circumstances? I understand the "politics" of every situation, but we are not in a political situation. We are in dire straits and as our President said the other night, "We need every American" to bring something to the table. Unfortunatly the only thing the republics bring is "You're on your own".
They screamed "Drill baby Drill" and now that there is money in the budget for energy they have done a 360. Now that the budget has $100mill for education, they are screaming that we are spending our childrens money. That may be true (not) but if the kids don't know how to read and write or get a job how are they gonna have any money? Now that the budget reflects reality they are screaming about the size. Well where was all the crying when bush was "hiding" the war cost, everybody knew it, and they let it go on?
The election of Obama has done "GREAT" things for this country, but the "dark side" has shown how truly sick and twisted they are. During the campaign we saw many incidents by the racist, sexist and un-American right wing. With the crowd at CPAC trying to find their way it is interesting that neither McCain, Bush or Palin attended. Are these the last of the rats jumping ship? I am waiting for rush L's head to explode because now they are turning on each other. Hopefully the whole lot of them will implode and just disappear, but we won't be that lucky.
We have millions of Americans who are out in the street, have no job, and are literally starving and the republician answer, "You're on your Own"........
