This all started with Reagan...and Predident Clinton went too far in appeasing the right with too much deregulation - despite his brilliance as a politician. But this isnt the roaring 90s anymore when people had way too much to spend, Wall Street was beginning to run rogue and there were 2 cars in every garage. And before the dot.com debacle. And then we have the famous (or infamous) Bush/Cheney/Rove White House that had their very own "special" agenda. Bush was a puppet anyway Anyone that took office after that crime (and I do mean crime. Like should go to jail) was in for sorting through a major disaster. And we did stave off a DEPRESSION. what we are experiencing the last 4 years and now is the product of digging ourselves out of excess, gridlock and too much compromise.

Many of us are better off than 4 years ago. This election was the tipping point in more ways than one. The past is behind us now. Thank God.

I choose to look forward and be positive. Things will either be the same misery due to the House or things will continue to improve. That is the bottom line. As far as the past, we are still digging out of that hole. But again, it is about moving forward. As far as Homeland Security and protecting the People of this country, I am far more confident now with Obama forward- thinking. Again, either the House gets their act together (and esp Cantor et al) or we will continue to move at a snails pace. The American people .... the 98% know this. And I do not believe in a fiscal cliff. Nothing the Administration is proposing will hurt anyone. Not even the 2%. They are busy hiding all of their money while we wait until Tues anyway.

And America is not the same as it was 30 years ago anyway. We are living in a new time. Yep other countries took advantage of America's greediness, conceit and selfishness.

Obama Administration is focusing on chess right now with multiple boards in action. While the others obstructionists are playing a simple game of checkers...with only our lives hanging in the balance. They dont give a c*** about the 48%....or the 98% for that matter. That is not how I wish for America to move forward.
