I’d like to intelligently discuss the financial crisis gripping this country but I don’t know enough about all the details. I have probably not spent enough time reading and digesting the facts surrounding the current state of affairs because frankly my days are filled with too many things directly staring me in the face which can’t be ignored. That probably sums up the feelings of many of you.
What I do know is no matter who I speak with, Republicans and Democrats, Men and Women, those with money and those with out, even lefties and righties…there is something they all have in common. They have all lost confidence in the alleged leadership we have and don’t really think there is anyone on the horizon who can change that.
We read, watch and listen to our so-called representatives and come away convinced of one thing and one thing only. They will do what’s best for them from trying to stay in office to making their donors happy. When a congressman or senator says he or she is following the will of their constituents what they really mean is they’re doing what needs to be done for them to be re-elected. You can’t be fooled by their rhetoric because that’s all it is and polls and surveys show that our faith and confidence in elected leaders is at an all-time low…and sinking.
From President Bush down what we have in this country now is an absence of leadership and I’m one person who does not see a change regardless of who is elected in November. Do you really think your life will change if Obama is our next President or McCain? The system set up by our forefathers has failed because times have changed and Washington has become a giant game in which we’re the ball that gets thrown around from one side to the other. Sadly when this game ends we’ll be the losers on the scoreboard and that’s about the only result I can guarantee.
