Economy!

I'm listening to Mr President. I'm happy he is taking a stand against the economy issues. But it goes to show the lack of concern by the former administration. I see him trying and for me that is somewhat comforting, but the problem is the rest of the government. I have seen 8 presidents and very conscious of 6 of them. I was too young for the Nixon and Ford administrations. I watched American presidents that put the people 1st and some that seem to not care a bit about us. I was raised a Democrat, but have always wanted to vote for the better candidate. The past 3 elections have been a choice of the best of what's left. I was not an Obama supporter during the primaries, but I came aboard once he received the democratic nomination. I understand that we NEEDED a change. This really was not an option. To make my point, I see that we lived 8 years with a leader that only thought of himself. I'm looking at a land that is just fighting for survival. I see a country that does not realize that the economical crisis is more deadly than they think. You look at the crime rates rising, and it is rising due to the economy. Look at the more home invasions, muggings, and killings since the Hurricanes in La. We were headed down prior to the storms, but they were the straws that broke the proverbial camel's back. 911 has turned into the longest terrorist attack in history. This could not have planned this perfectly 9 years, or could it? We have spent trillions of dollars (that don't even sound right) on the wars we are currently involved in. We can not wonder why we are suffering. We are spread all over the world. I really try to understand what is really going on. We lost 3000+ in the 911 attack. We have lost 4000+ American soldiers. And we lost 640 Americans in Afghanistan. Over 7600 Americans killed from one terrorist attack. We lost 2 symbols of America. We were thrown in to a recession. We have suffered the lost of job to the extent that everyone in the nation feels the strain except The New York Yankees. But nevertheless we have watched Americans lose faith and hope. One attack sent us into a toilet. We were spiraling down since September 11 2oo1. This is better than fiction. In the midst of turmoil and problems this is when the super hero swoops in saves the day. But when we were at our lowest point we turned to a Black man from a single parent home. Wow.. could not have made this up. Boy can I rant and ramble or what?
