I like Barack Obama and his outstanding family personally but I am beginning to see the pattern from Election 2008 rearing its head as we get past the pomp and circumstance and get down to business. First of all, this administration jackrabited into a scandal which is the last thing both Obama who is evidently not involved and a harmed country needed at this point. The first bailout showed many of the features that created it as the pork and the corporate largess refluxed back. Now the American people are being hit with big time numbers that are challenged by both parties and it's like throwing dimes into a wishing well. The war on terrorism is changing in a way that we do not quite understand. When our government puts out their solutions to our citizens in what they feel is expediency and purport to address our probability of being thrown into the street, I think the public would like our feedback registered because it's our tax dollars that will ultimately support any grandiose or ill conceived economic fix all. For now, this is a momentary conclusion, there is nothing to stop gas prices from going up again. If we are at layoffs, high unemployment, stagflation and a plummeting stock prices when and if we go back to high prices at the pump at the same time, I was a Boy Scout, I know how to pitch a tent. As I mentioned, as an individual I like and admire Barack Obama however I hope as I would with any Presidency in these troubled times that his plans are fruitful.
