Is this really what people were after when they elected Obama?

“In only two months, since the last CBO budget review in January, Democrats have passed laws that increase spending by $134 billion in the last six months of this fiscal year alone”

So let me get this right. The U.S. economy is struggling to survive because corporate executives got their companies debut to equity ratio to high, and the U.S. governments response is to do the same thing and run up a huge deficit even higher?!?!?!

Forget about learning from history! WE CANNOT EVEN LEARN FROM THE PRESENT!!!!!!!

“'Fairness' is one of the great mantras of the left. Since everyone has his own definition of fairness, that word is a blank check for the expansion of government power. What "fairness" means in practice is that third parties -- busybodies -- can prevent mutual accommodations by others.”  Thomas Sowell

I recently went to my daughters school to see her class presentation about American symbols. It was wonderful to see her and her friends sing songs and talk about different American symbols (The White House, the Flag, Washington, etc). They sang “I am proud to be an American” which is one of my favorite songs. The feeling of hope and inspiration I got from watching my daughter in the morning was muted by what I saw on TV and read about the rest of the day.

You see today in the media it was all about government bailouts and AIG executive bonuses. The rest of the day was focused on what our government and large corporations have been doing the past year, and it reeked of selfishness, greed and denial. Republicans, Democrats and Executives spewing hate a blame at each other, none really interesting in service to their country or doing what is best for their country. Each solely focused on protecting their interests and their pile of green paper.

Reflecting back on the events of the morning in my daughters class room, which where full of hope, selfless and patriotic feelings of service towards our great country, something that today seems like an anachronism. I pray for my daughters future this is not the case. May these children not reflect these values of those that came before them.
