Reply #152: At Least We Seem To Agree... I Too Am Looked Upon As A Political Nut! [View All]

I used to always reply to others that WHAT goes on in D.C. affects them directly if they would just pay attention! I tried so hard to get people out to vote many many times and now there's a certain irony going on!

Many I tried working with, actually going to their homes, sitting down and pointing out certain aspects of things, stating my opinion and saying YOU should have one too, many times leaving because they wouldn't get off the dime! Now, I've had people call asking me questions about "where they can get help" because they have been so affected by the economy! I want to laugh in their faces and remind them how much I tried to get them off their asses!

But, I'm not afraid to tell them, I TOLD YOU SO!! It's crazy how many people who don't vote even when you take an absentee ballot to them!

I've seen more and more disdain and apathy than ever before and I too think that sticking your head in the sand is the better way to go.

Regarding Obama, I came late to supporting him but I did, and worked hard to help get him elected. He HAS disappointed me by many of the decisions he's made even IF it's only been a year! I do realize things take time, however too many "pretty speeches" just don't cut it for me! Given all that is going on today, I simply think that there are times he should just do something like slam a shoe on a podium or at least do some serious FIGHTING back! Plus, I'm always "wondering" exactly where he really stands on things. Seems like it's always some sort of "wait & see" thing when I feel he should have much more CLARITY and shout it out loud and clear!

Oh, I've gone on too long... time to hit the kitchen and the pots and pans for dinner!
