Politics. WHAAAAAT?

As I sit here and drink, I think to myself how lucky I am. I can come home kiss my wife and son goodnight, have a beer, go online and goof off and then go to sleep in my bed. I am lucky! But a lot of people might not be so lucky as me. Especially in the times that we live in. The Economy is bad and probably going to get worse before it gets better. People are still spending but they are spending money they don't have. Credit cards may just be the devil or at least a tool of the devil.

As I sit and take another sip I think about our country and our world. It's going down the crapper economy wise. Those of you who know me no that I don't watch the news, I'm not that political and I don't ever have my finger on the pulse of the country. I never know what is going on. It may be ignorant of me and you might think that I am white trash or a piece of shit. That may be true but at least now I am trying a little bit. I try to take some information in that is not sports related.

I did not vote for our current president. You can all gasp and cringe. I voted for that old guy and the hot chick. I did it, not that I have to justify myself, because I felt that McCain had more experience and I usually vote for the loser in these presidential elections anyways. To tell you the truth I got about halfway through one of the debates and didn't really like either of the two guys but I liked a lot of what McCain had said and what I had been told about him from my peers. I'll be honest most of my political views come from what I here on Sports Radio WEEI sorry for the plug, and Howard Stern I was without my Sirius radio for a bit so I don't know who he was voting for this time around.

President Obama just seemed to charasmatic for my tastes. Too perfect. I was really upset when he won the election, but not because he won but because of a rumor that I heard. I had heard that people wanted to have him have his own holiday just because he won the election. Now, I am all for having more days off from work but for a man who hasn't done anything yet to get a holiday was and is insane.

But as I sit here drinking and typing away at my pc, I sit here impressed by what I have heard that President Obama accomplished on his first day in office. Even after all that fucking dancing he did last night. I'm not sure if you heard what he did but I am going to tell you anyways. President Obama put a salary freeze on all white house staffer's who make $100,000.00 or more. Wow, first day, and the guy doesnt' make friends with the people who take care of him on a daily basis. Impressive. Good start. He also put into place, and i don't know if this is a good thing or not but, he put into place a year plan to shut down gwantanamo(who know's how to spell that?) bay. Now that scares me because it makes meworry about terrorists and stuff but It is another way to lower spending that may not necessarily be necessary. Who knows.

I am definitely NO Obama girl or anything like that but I will support him until he fucks up so bad that I am effected by what he has done. I guess that's the american way right. Can't wait to hear what he does tommorrow.
