Shout it from the rooftops for God's sake!  If you don’t agree with the President’s $825 billion dollar “stimulus” proposal then say so loud and clear.  Buy some time on the major networks and plead your case.  If you think the 30 seconds of sound bite you’re being granted on the evening news is compelling, forget it.

I’m going to start this post off with a really tough question, and I want you to answer it to yourself honestly.  “Would you submit to torture, if you knew the lives of 3000 of your fellow citizens depended upon it”?  Now, I only picked 3000 because we all have some experience with that figure.  We know what it feels like to watch 3000 innocent Americans perish before our eyes on a clear, cold September morning. 

Congratulations President Obama.  I did not vote for you, but enough Americans did to award you the election.  Tonight you party, but tomorrow the hard work begins.  It would be easy to blame the past administration for all that is wrong with this Country, but that is no longer relevant.  All that matters now is the future and how we are going to approach and attempt to resolve our issues.

It’s finally over.  The eight year nightmare of George W. Bush’s administration is riding into the sunset.  Please don’t be confused by that comment however.  I do not, nor have I ever hated President Bush.  I know many people who’s irrational hatred of the man, clouded their judgment to the point of insanity. But, I also cannot hold him in the high regard espoused by many conservative pundits in this Country.  Now in the waning hours of the Bush administration, it is time to make a carefully considered evaluation of the last eight years.
