Not Surprising

So I was reading the newspaper this morning (on-line because it is the new green way) and it was being reported was that President Obama has gone back to bashing Bush again.
Not surprising when you see his polls numbers are beginning to show the direction of the voter’s discontent with his policies. It was obvious that the fickleness of the Democratic voter has been well documented as the easiest to sway but the hardest to please.
One report on the stimulus is that it created jobs in Oregon, yes it did, and the jobs only lasted ONE WEEK. Now, that’s what I call stimulating.
Listen, I want America to succeed through the financial mess we are in but we need thinkers that are outside the box and not trying the same old same old way to solve problems.
I do feel sorry for the President because I think anything John McCain would have done would have garnered the same results, the economy is sick with a bad cold and the flu (who knows, it could be swine flu) and it will take time to recover but only if the home market recovers without continuing foreclosures. Another onset of foreclosures is scheduled later this year.
President Obama’s problem is that he raised expectations just like John Kennedy and now he cannot meet them and the people are discouraged.
So what to do…
Simple, treat the disease and wait it out but do not spend us into bankruptcy with extravagant medicines that we cannot afford and will be paying for years to come.
In the old days the flu and colds were treated with home remedies and maybe that is what is needed here. Let’s acknowledge the problem and treat it by pulling back some and stop acting like we can will it away. It is a disease we created and we need to live with it for a sufficient amount of time to really feel it. That is the only way we can learn from it and possibly not recreate it again in the future.
And President Obama, stop bashing Bush; this is your problem and your deficit so live with it because we are and it is an uncomfortable fit, believe me.
