Making It In America

I don’t pretend to be a political pundit and I truly never hope to be one, but I do have a few opinions.  As I listen to the news, read the papers and watch political programs I really wonder what is going on in this world!

• Why is Nancy Pelosi insisting that she deserves everything any man in her position had?  It isn’t about gender; it’s about the economy.  The planes she has been using-or not using due to cancellations-is costing a tremendous amount of money our government doesn’t have.  She doesn’t seem to care.
• Why does Barack Obama say he is going to get rid of pork spending before he signs a huge bill full of pork spending?
• Why is the common American being told that we must cut back and tighten our belt while Congress gives billions of dollars to those who have demonstrated their inability to handle money?
• Why are we closing Gitmo and considering freeing the prisoners as yet another man released from there is leading troops and killing Americans?
• Why is the ACLU worried about foreign prisoners who are often terrorists but not about the American citizens these prisoners would kill if they could?
• Why do people rant about Democrats or Republicans when the problems we are facing are bigger than any political party?

Questions, questions, questions……but seemingly, no solid answers.  How confusing!  How sad!
