Hope?

What happened to all the optimism? It's been one hell of a couple of days. Since the news that we elected Obama as our next President the Dow Jones Industrial average has taken the worst two day loss since 1987. I thought him getting into office and the news of the upcoming demise of the republican party was supposed to make our nation just spew prosperity from the seams. I guess not. In addition to that the President of Russia on the day after the election decided to speak up. Apparently it's not just American liberals who blame "W" for everything, it turns out the war in Georgia (I'm not talking about the state that lies south of South Carolina....just in case any liberals read this) is the current administration's doing as well. And here we thought "W" wasn't doing anything for the last eight years, let's see, he personally orchestrated a hurricane, caused the downward spiral of the housing market, and started a war somewhere that there is no American military involvement what so ever. He has had a pretty full plate no wonder he hasn't weighed in on the important issues like gay marriage. My point with the Russian thing is this we haven't heard a peep out of them in what 20 years now all of a sudden they are calling us out. Coincidence? I don't think so. I think not. It's like when a kid's tough guy older brother goes off to college, the local bullys are going to what they can get away with. We can exspect more of this to come. It's only been two days. He's not even been sworn in yet. Next subject....Illegal immagration. I think Obama's economic and social plans will actually make them a necessity. Most illegals are willing no happy to do work that we as Americans no longer want to do. IE. cut grass, dig ditches, roofing, general labor. Why would they? It's alot easier to walk to the mailbox and go cash the check. This will only become more common under his plans. Especially when he starts handing out free college educations. When I say free I mean that the ones going to school won't be paying for it you and I will. Look I'm sorry not everybody should go to college. There are grants and scholarships out there for exceptional students. There is the GI bill. There are loans. I think it's too easy now to get a degree. It has devalued a four year degree. I think if you get a government funded education it should come with the stipulation that you can never in your life get government assistance, other than disability should you become physicly unable to work. After all if more people had the oportunity to go college it would reduce the need for welfare, right? Anyway if his plans go into play you will have all these folks out there collecting mailbox money or with college educations. Who's going to get a minimum wage job ( even if it's $10 an hour by then) We will need illegals. Then the solution will be to grant them citizenship this will try to be sold to us under the guise of "but then they'll pay taxes" but only if they make $250,000 a year. When in fact the agenda will be to get them eligible to vote. After all who are they going to vote for. I could go on and on. It's a slippery slope and we are standing on the edge.
