Say What?!?

When President Barack Obama was elected, everyone was expecting a miracle. Exactly the next day, the stock market went down a few hundred points.

But I do think that people have doubts in President Obama. Don't bother sitting down because you will stand up (in shock) when you hear this: President Barack Obama will be sending seventeen thousand more troops into Afghanistan. I can understand that. But the War in Iraq was so unnecessary on President Bush's part. It turns out Iraq did NOT have WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction). But I feel bad for President Obama. He received this whole big truckload of dog poo. He has to deal with two wars, a crashing stock market and idiots that think this whole "Non-white" president idea is the worst thing ever. Besides, if you really think about it, this whole present is a gift from none other than George W. Bush ("Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness." Actual President Bush quote.)

Here's another surprise: when Barack Obama was elected, everyone thought the FIRST day he got into office that he would shut down Guantanamo Bay. But he is almost there. He'd be done by now if it weren't for the Republicans. Now some Republicans saying that Guantanamo Bay isn't as bad as they thought. NOT AS BAD AS THEY THOUGHT?!? Seems like something's going on, but I've never in my life met someone that says, "Oh, I love torture!"

All I'm trying to say is don't expect people to do everything they say they're going to do, because sometimes poeple lie to get what they want (not like Barack Obama did, because he didn't. But you know who did? Three words: George W. Bush.

America

This post is a short one, folks.

As Stephen Colbert once said, "There was once a child who was pushed around by his father.  That child's name was America."  

All At Once

For those who have been living under a rock for the past three years, we obviously been in a recession.  Stocks have gone down, and so have home values.  And people have been downsizing the heck out of everything.

Everything is going wrong, everyone ends up alone, and every time President Barack Obama mentions his stimulus package, the stock market seems to go down another three hundred points.  

I've been thinking about it, and it seems to me like the C.E.O's of big companies are just taking as much money as they can carry in their deep pockets and running for the hills.  They really don't care what happens to everybody else below them as they party on the 100th penthouse floor, while those beneath them on the 2nd floor are simply trying to keep food on the table, let alone their job, and more importantly, their future.

  This is happening all at once.  And as The Fray said in the song All At Once from their first album, How to Save A Life, all at once the crowd begins to say sometimes that hardest thing and the right thing are the same.
