I was just reading Obama’s Inaugural address and one of the phrases he used jumped out at me … To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing

Well, the election is over … and, as many will tell you, it’s quite a relief. While, in general, I agree with this sentiment … however, without a doubt, this has been the most interesting & engaging campaign & election in recent memory. The number of people who went out and actually voted is a

Well, it’s been a fairly busy two weeks … Work on the floor is (more or less) progressing. I got the final rank of boards cut and installed. We still need to touch of the paint, install the base molding, quarter round, and carpet threshold. Tuesday we went to village hall and cast our votes

Over the past few months I’ve heard lots of stories on the radio about the election and how people are going to vote. I’ve got to tell you … there are some people that are just so incredibly stupid about how they make their voting decisions it just makes my blood boil. Please, people, vote

Well, it seems that the Iowa Caucuses are over and Obama has won. I, for one, am quite pleased with this result. I have to admit that I was worried about Clinton. I’m not going to get into why I don’t like Clinton … that’s for another post. Aw heck, I will get into it

I don’t get the Obama love affair. For those of us who can read, know he has never done ANYTHING important. He is associating with known racist and people who HATE other people. His wife is very angry at Rich people, but yet she is one. Obama wants to redistribute the wealth in this country and give what we make to people who don’t work. HOW IS THAT A GOOD THING. I already give them 30-40% of my income, what do they need more for? I have health care and I am responsible for me and my family, why can’t we go back to working hard, less taxes, less government and more freedom?
If you like the last bit of the comments you need not vote for Obama….oh let me get down off the soap box.
Lastly the people we need to listen to are not talking and the celebrities are and they are all crazy.
DONT VOTE FOR OBAMA….Clinton and McCain aren’t much better…..So we wait for a real candidate.
