Obama's 60 days

Thursday, March 26, 2009

All of this dolus dogma and rhetoric spewing from the keyboards of Fox and CNN bloggers just gets so redundant...everyone has an excuse, a reason for the hatred they seem to focus on the new president...for those of you who have bought into the 'disposable' and 'immediate gratification' mentality that permeates our society; check yourselves.
it's only been 60 days.
fixing the economy isn't something you can microwave and it'll be done in 4 minutes.
the frenzy of phirana some call the MEDIA whose agenda it is to whip up emotional opinions on both sides of a story to sell it, has been swallowed like a chocolate coated hook by most of america.and, those who feast on lemmings are fat right now.
this is where critical thinking must come into play, and why Obama said the other day he wants us to pay attention to what goes on in washington.
yeah, he was talking to us, not the media.
reasonable people might understand that it will take more than 60 days to turn this country around. that being said, it is the republicans who have been the party of "no" since 2006.
unfortunately, it's been the minutae that gets the attention, while the big stuff is placed on the back burner. now we have to deal with all the stuff at the back - and some of it's been there for a while.
i do appreciate the president taking everything into consideration with regards to the budget - including the war expenditures. even in my personal life, i cannot budget for something i do not acknowledge. seems pretty insane, actually.
i feel Bush was disengenuous on that front, as well as the state of the economy. we've suffered that fool long enough, and thankfully, Obama stepped up and is willing to do his best to fix it. he's vowed to take 4 years out of his and his family's life to do it.
we owe it to him to listen. we elected him by more than just a slim margin, something i think the republicans are - jealous of. (their narcissism is showing)
and now, like i said before, because it's not happening at microwave speed and it doesn't have a pretty packaging yet, some of us have been critical.regardless of what stream of consciousness you are following, everyone needs to give it some time - our economy has not ceased to exist, we're shoring up the banks, and working on a positive outcome.
the world is watching to see how we deal with this...either as spoiled 4 year olds, or as a leading nation.
i prefer the latter.
