Massachusetts / USA, Fragile Mess Going ... Where?

  Basically trying to think about politics without getting upset has been difficult lately.. and I have been seeing red. I am not a bona-fide red stater and am not interested in becoming one. I had never heard the name Scott Brown's name until yesterday.

  That I could state that I would have voted for him knowing that he supports waterboarding

'enhanced interrogation techniques' is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that anyone is still left in America who can come out and defend that crap and yet this is the man who won in Massachusetts. I could have voted for the independent candidate that got two percentage points in the election but that still would have been a vote for this gentleman who ever he is who thinks torture is OK and may or maynot have anymore intelligent ideas about anything than he does about the US being a torture friendly nation. To me that should be grounds for abrupt disqualification. Yet I believed Obama needed to be defeated.

  I believed the best course for this country would be to have the people, the 60 senators... now 59, who are Democrats to ponder deeply the course they have set us on and really it is all about the great leader the man I voted for his course that he has set us on. Eight years of George Bush

and Dick Cheney and we celebrated the Presidential elections and Hope runs high yet I can't drop my guard. I've been around too long. Too many years of watching it all unfold. Obama ran a brilliant race. Tell people nothing as eloquently as imaginable, make sure you know that you are not 'them', and you represent Change. So allright, I swallowed my disbelief.. Have faith many said, 'you can't win if you tell people what you are going to do' you have to keep the cards real close to your chest.

   He still keeps the cards close to his chest but it's all painfully apparent. His feet are on another plane, another planet, a dream planet (I've been a dreamer too I know.. it's human) where Governments drive economic recovery. It's all a state of mind and if you can convince the American People that everything is well then it's OK to have a bon-fire with assets of The People's Trust it will warm our hearts, and be just like coming out of WWII. We'll just get back to those fabulous projections that tickled our fancies just like Enron, the DotCom boom, the real estate market... woohoo we are just going back to Good old American

Economic growth. We are bullish on America. Obama's model for recovery is Enron, the Dot Com World, The Great Real Estate Boom. The arrows pointed up so it will always be up. We are America all we do is grow, grow big grow rich, of course grow compassionate, grow green, grow all the things of Progressive greatness. But when it comes to Money here's how the Government will grow your Economy while we wait to that great American Engine to finally....

  I ran out of time last night and now here comes 4 nights of cab driving in a row. I'll get back to the post as soon as possible try top lay out my 'issues' with Obama over his first year.. 

  Try to lay out some positive vision for California and the US because just being upset about things is not enough. In fact being upset about things maybe just flat out unhealthy for me... no upset please .  Breathe ... Peace in, Stress out.

  Just because someone follows you on a Blog doesn't mean they agree with everything someone says in the blog.  Thanks to my first 'follower' if I was lucky enough to get a flock of people who were brave enough to join me here in my verbal adventures, I think I am trying to voice a view of the non-Red non-Blue, we are Independents who need a fresh sense of Identity.
