1.9 million crowded in and around the national mall in DC. today to get a glimpse of the new president. Our 44th. I stopped what I was doing and watched the swearing in with a nice lady I just met (a customer) on her new 42" hi def plasma tv. I noticed many folks in the crowd had tears of joy in their eyes and big smiles. The tears tell me they actually believe the world is about to change and all will good TOMORROW! Mere sheep. A large herd waiting for the sheep dog to move them to the barn to get fed. Very sad.
Tomorrow the new president will close GITMO and cancel out all open business that Bush had on the docket. Then after breakfast he will start printing checks for the SSI recipients. Hey why not! Those folks don't work, pay taxes, pay for their rent or their fuel. Just collect their checks and work on raising the population. These folks actually belive Obama is the chosen one.
As the government moves closer to owning the banks as they tried in 1929, ruining the health care system and takeing away our freedom, I will stand by your side, bitching and fighting for what we believe in. We may not see eye to eye on every issue, but I think we are looking into the same reflection. I had to embarass a friend in front of his co-workers yesterday, defending my beliefs. It was not pretty, but I could not keep my mouth shut. I am proud that my son has my passion. I think he has more passion than I, a good thing I suppose.
Obama's economic plan will no doubt empty our future piggy banks. As I posted before, It is not our job to finish this work, but we do not have the privilege to stop trying.

Keep up the good work! / dad
