		<description>Hi Bobby! Ouch a spanking and I am still smiling. Only you and Euro can get away with that.

I hope you have a great week Bobby and please keep on keeping on.

Thanks for stopping by and adding a little cheer to my day yesterday.

I am glad I got out of the political blogging and decided to take up photography.:-)</description>

		<description>Hi Jackie! Unfortunately, Obama is a socialist and this is America, not Russia. He&#039;s definitely not going to help the people, he will only help the government and special interest groups. I cannot vote for a man who knows less about economics than I do - and that goes for McCain too. You should consider voting for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitutional party.

That&#039;s enough of that!

It&#039;s really great to see you and I hope all is well! I&#039;ll come visit your blog today :smile:</description>

		<description>As always Bobby a very informative article. I wish I had more to offer in response.

But, I too am becoming more and more numb to all of it. I have to shut it out because it literally scares me to death. And my anxiety and depression can&#039;t deal with it.

But I like you agree about where many things stand. I do support O&#039;bama. I do believe that he is the only viable candidate for election that might help the rest of the world see that we are trying to change over here.

But in the end I think it will take nothing less than another revolution for all of us common folk to get our government back.

But, unfortunately I don&#039;t see that happening either. Simply because so many just don&#039;t care. As long as all is well with them they continue forward doing their daily do.

It breaks my heart.

I also wanted to make sure you were one of the first I popped in to say hello to after my 5 month absence.

I know you understand a lot of the same personal issues that I deal with too. And, I am feeling quite, over whelmed, lost, and truly don&#039;t know how to get back into the swing of things.

So I&#039;m just winging it-Tee...Hee:-)))))</description>

		<description>Hi Ana! I watch a lot of C-SPAN, which has a lot of the senate/house hearings and agree, it&#039;s ridiculous. There are some members who actually care but are lost in a sea of special interest puppets.

They should just let these banks and failed businessmen die, and of course, put many of them in prison. The government expects us to believe the same people who screwed things up are smart enough to fix it...now that&#039;s funny.

Whoever gets elected president, they will not represent me, they will represent the corporations, and that&#039;s the bottom line. I do not respect McCain or Obama as presidential material.

Yeah, I don&#039;t get stressed over it anymore - I&#039;m numb over the whole thing too.</description>

		<description>Hello Dave! And so, that&#039;s the root of the problem. Here&#039;s a great article from Ron Paul&#039;s personal blog, everyone should read it:
http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog/?p=616

It&#039;s his letter to the president. One thing I admire about him is he pulls no punches and isn&#039;t in it for the money. He&#039;s the only member of congress that opted out of all extra pay, such as a lucrative retirement check and so forth.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s easy to be a little down with everything unfolding. I get to the point where I&#039;m numb about it, then I&#039;ll switch on the TV (not the news) and find some program that&#039;s more positive. Today I came across the stalled discussion (about the 700 billion bail out), and it reminded me of my workplace and all the bureaucratic wrangling that takes place (and it made me laugh, that silly macabre or sardonic laugh).

I kind of doubt the bail out as well. There are a million questions as to how it will be implemented. Tonight, on Aust television, there was a government announcement to the media saying that the Australian government was going to use a few billion (less than ten billion) to support banks, and it&#039;s a small amount compared to 700 billion, but the BS is the same. First they say &#039;hey it&#039;s not a big deal, there is no recession,&#039; or &#039;we&#039;re capable of handling it&#039; (which is what the Australian federal government has been saying all week in parliament - I&#039;ve been watching the House of Representatives all week on TV and they act like morons most of the time, arguing like children in a playground), and then they come out with the big announcement. In Australia 6 or 7 billion to support banks is a lot because we have a 20 million population, which isn&#039;t much compared to the United States, but taxpayer money is taxpayer money. If we had close to 300 million people here, it would most likely be 700 billion as well. What worries me more, well not stress out worry, but what makes me shake my head is when I see politicians acting like immature kids, arguing back and forth, about petty things, during an economically sensitive time. It makes me ask myself if those that are voted (a portion that act out like kids on some occasions) are capable to run a country. Of course, I relate that to Australian politicians, because we see more of them here, as the Prime Minster/Deputy tends to be televised in parliament arguing, presenting policies and so on. This week, in Australian politics has been like an episode of Seinfeld with all the heckling, name calling and infantile giggling. I don&#039;t know if US politics is televised (House of Reps/Senate), but watching politics unfold has become part of my daytime viewing. It may not beat Oprah in the ratings, but it provides another - more disturbing - side to politicians.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t agree more Bobby. You can&#039;t take failure out of the equation. Nor can you take the repercussions for the mistakes that leads to failure out either. The more I read the more it appears to me that&#039;s what&#039;s trying to be done. The more I read, the more I find that reinforces my belief that companies and their executives did not believe they were going to be allowed to fail and acted according to that belief. 

Water always finds its own level. Seems they may have forgot that.</description>

		<description>Thanks Dave, I had a chance to read both. Businesses and corporations do have the right to fail, just like everyone else. I&#039;ve failed several times in life. I&#039;ve lost everything I owned twice - and I mean EVERYTHING. Nobody bailed me out. I&#039;m still repairing my credit which was as bad as it gets (at one point, you couldn&#039;t have worse credit than me).

With failure being a reality, it keeps the system honest...doesn&#039;t it? It seems logical to me. With the super rich living worry free and above the law, the system is rotted from the inside out.</description>
