Impressive. Get rid of Pelosi and Reid, and he might just be able to pull it all off.

Next week our Nation turns the corner back to honor and dignity in the White House! It will be wonderful to have someone in office who does not believe that he knows all the right answers, but will sincerely work towards getting the best answer!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream." The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches, Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Every one applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.
Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a land slide. Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and fifty-two percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other forty-eight percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.

Politics have always involved making and keeping the promises you can. It is not up to the president alone to keep the promises he made, the congress have to play a role. Those who voted for Obama know this fact. Those of you who voted for McCain and are sore losers need to realize that campaign time has long passed, and it is time to ask what you can do to help the nation get out of the recession your party plunged us into. Rather than waste valuable time writing about your third grade paradigm and how it relates to an administration that has not even taken office, try writing about what you think should be done to improve the economy of this country. Some of you who voted for McCain seem to be sufferring from traces of megalomania, where you suddenly believe you are smarter, whiter, bigger, more useful, and even more gainfully employed than 66 million people who voted for Obama. No you are not! Actually, you are stupidier, and your voted casted for McCain/ Palin is adequate proof of your stupidity. However, you take it a step further when you dwell on it with stories like the one above.
