Obama and ... Where are we?

So we had the elections and President Obama was humbled but that's old news.
It was good news to me.

The flow of events and human history that goes on at a daily basis is a pretty overwhelming experience for anybody to
claim they understand.

I am just another set of eyes on the Planet seeking some sense that we are heading in the right direction and to say we are heading in the right direction as President Obama does just doesn't seem to work for me. It doesn't compute.
'Be patient Change doesn't happen overnight' to paraphrase what I think I heard our President was reiterating as he tried
to muster his troops leading up to the election.

I thought it was good news (the election results) even though... and this will be difficult for many of you to accept that if the Federal Government goes through a meltdown that maybe the best thing for the establishment of a nation founded on the principals of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Yes I am an optimist in the face of Titanic Idiocy and an angry culture of Red Vs. Blue and a cynical younger generation that sees - forget the younger generation just because of a few idiots I/we don't need to make sweeping generalizations.

I thought the insurgent force of revulsion against a President who ran on the repetitive mantra of a new kind of politics
the kinder gentler Obama would set himself up as a man who would seek to end divisiveness in the same old Washington..
that was obviously forgotten the day after his election. Woohoo I won. Bleep you Republicans it's our Turn! What a vacuos ethos for governing a nation. It's our Turn. ...

So I thought this resurgent force call it what you will, might just prevent Obama from doing again what failed to destroy our country the first time. Just blow away a trillion dollars to stimulate the economy. I thought well there goes that plan he will thankfully, not get another stimulus through congress. And now we unveil the $600 Billion buying of Bonds to stimulate the economy. One week after the election in which he was humbled. I thought he got it.. Nope. Frankly I don't understand what is going on with a $600 Billion buying of bonds, but $600 Billion is getting pretty close to a Trillion. Most of the other countries on the PLanet don't get it either apparently, probably they are just jealous. When the Fed acts on this will it need a vote of Congress? Nope.

What does it actually mean? I don't know.. I am in the dark. It seems like US Currency as in like everything else this country is supposed to be about... that being of the People. Our money will purchase what for what purpose? I guess I better read the Wall Street Journal this week. Just last month Obama was full of self congratulation as in .. The recession is over and we the Democrats under my decisive leadership saved our nation from a dreadful depression. To lightly paraphrase our President.

Well if the recession is over why are we printing up another $600 Billion for what purpose?
