I know I’m gonna catch hell for speaking my mind once again, but that’s never stopped me before. I’m just gonna say what I’ve gotta say before my head explodes.
For months now I've been hearing a lot of folks whining & complaining about how Obama has been handling things. People seem to have forgotten that it took the Bush Administration 8 years (6 of them with a Republican-led Congress) to get us into this mess. They got us into the Iraq War based on greed and a bunch of lies and will have cost the taxpayers $687 Billion by the end of September*. This is money that would have been better spent here in the States. They gave the public the McCain/Palin ticket so that they wouldn't have to clean up the mess they knew was coming. (Who the hell is going to vote for an old guy with a bad ticker and a crazy woman?) Therefore the Republican Party couldn’t be blamed when things couldn’t be fixed in a hurry with a new administration.
The Obama administration doesn't have some sort of magic wand that is going to make everything better in a couple of months. It's not humanly possible. Obama has said from the get-go that it would take long hard work on everybody’s part to fix what’s been broken. He's only been in office for 7 months. Give the guy a break. His plate is pretty dang full right now.
The American people as a whole needs to take a step back, get over their narcissistic instant gratification fixation, and start trying to figure out on an individual level what they can do to make life better for themselves and those around them, not just expect it to be done for them.
Looking for a job? You may actually need to leave your house and apply in person, not online. Or go outside of your field of expertise. Or you may have to flip burgers for a while – a job is a job is a job! When you’re in need, no job should be beneath you. If you absolutely can’t find a job in your area, volunteer somewhere. There is always going to be someone out there that is in worse shape than you are. Help them out. Meanwhile, you’ll be meeting new people and you never know where a job opportunity will come from.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Karma can either be a wonderful thing or a total bitch. It all depends on how you play your own cards. And we, as a nation, will pull through this. We just have to stay strong, stay together, and help one another.

*Please note that I didn’t include the war in Afghanistan. I believe that to be a necessary war to find the bastards that hurt our people. Also note that I support and have the utmost respect for our men & women in uniform. Ultimately, they don’t have a choice where they are stationed or deployed. They go where their Commander in Chief tells them to go.
