Let's forget for a moment my universal disdain for every president after JFK, who wasn't all that great but shouldn't have been assassinated. I voted for him because of his words and constant comparisons of how he would be better than Bush because at the time he spoke like he agreed with the congressional, constitutional system. He said he wouldn't hire lobbyists and spoke against Wall St only to turn around and use nothing but Goldman Sachs, Monsanto and other insiders throughout his adm.
I have great respect for what I would term, ekg's 'inside baseball' knowledge and retention of the chapter and verse for events and maneuvering within the beltway. I guess I think that there are those who might have ongoing zeal for him that is misplaced. Panetta, I'm sure you know, told congress a while back that the military takes it's orders from NATO and the UN and that "they may then come to congress..." Not theory, I'll locate the clip if necessary.
My question is this:Is there one thing in your personal life that has gotten better or improved as a result of this adm? I'm talking about real world things, not food stamps(which I use)or any kind of 'hand out'.
If you don't like this or see 'crazy conspiracy theory' in this brief blurb, please just delete it rather than putting it in the section which in effect mocks the millions of people killed by governments and many other truths. I've been asked before to participate and that's what I'm trying to do.
in the summer of 2008, I started out on my own in a new business.. in oct, hubby lost his job. The next year..year 1/2 was the worst I've had in my adult life.. it was unbelievably hard...
today, hubby has been working pretty steadily and my business is literally growing every week.. by pre-2008 standards we're doing pretty fucking awesome.. but by today's standards, we're getting by with a little extra...
Both my work and his rely on the public/private sector working and spending.. he's construction/remodel.. I'm organizing,cleaning,staging.. I am making enough to employ me 20 year old daughter.. True, I could use the money myself.. and she could use more.. but it's sustainable right now with a good chance of increasing every day.
yes.. I have seen a 200% increase in the 'positive' in my life that I accredit to Obama and the choices he's made..Had he not stopped the economic fall.. had he let the auto industry fail at the same time.. we(as a country) would have been destroyed and neither me nor my husband would be working today for more than minimum wage at some fast-food place..if we were lucky enough to get such work.. (and truthfully, I don't think he could..even if he could, he wouldn't have the temperament to last)..
