Reports flood the news organizations telling Americans about the bad economy–housing in the toilet, stocks dropping like rocks, gas prices skyrocketing, people losing their jobs.  And the list of woes grows longer everyday.

But, really.  What did we expect?

When a country’s government rewards companies for exporting their jobs, what do we expect?  When a country’s government sends it to the brink of bankruptcy fighting wars of personal vengeance, what do we expect?  When a country’s leaders exhibit more concern for the wealthy than for any other group, what do we expect?

One problem with the idiots running our country today is that they know nothing of the past.  Our President is certainly no student.  He seems to operate in the world of make-believe and thinking that whatever he believes is right.  We probably find no stronger indicator of outright stupidity.  Top-down, wealthy governing the poor, few in control vs. shared governance seldom works as long-term ways to build a strong organization or country.  Bush and his henchmen believe that the wealth of the few will result in strength, so what did we expect?

Good, honest people bought in to the Bush promises and fairy tales during his first run for President, and those same people bought into the Bush fear-mongering during his second run.  Bush tricked those good, honest people, and it’s time that they realize that, stand up, and vote for the change that others can bring over the next several years.

We need to purge both the White House and the Congress of the disease that’s rotted us to the core.  We need people who will talk to those who consider us their enemies  We need people who exhibit real compassion for the poor.  We need people who will strengthen our economy by creating good working environments that cause companies to keep the jobs at home.  We need people who will restore true compassion–whether it be liberal or conservative–to America.

Voting is an important part of our American lives, but the talk that precedes the vote is even more important.  Talk to your friends and families about the importance of our choices in the upcoming elections, and when the time for voting arrives, let’s change America.
