Your blog was silent for quite a while. <br /><br />I remember you had an infestation of horrible racist trolls.

Are you back to blogging?<br /><br /><br />RN, <br /><br />I know you don't mean to be a scold, but some bloggers like to vary the subjects of their posts. The post below the Nugent one is about creation, and I even posted a poem I wrote about it. Is that being frivolous? No, of course not. <br /><br />If all I posted about was the difficult problems this nations faces, I'd probably collapse with depression.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-75135165036197774742012-04-22T01:03:59.894-04:002012-04-22T01:03:59.894-04:00How it's going Shaw, long time no see.

I've b...Dave, you express my feelings exactly. I've been disappointed as well with what I thought would happen in Mr. Obama's administration. [BTW, I know you mean Gitmo, not Abu Ghrahib]. To be fair, <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100716062730AAc5Pfb" rel="nofollow">I remember it was members of his own party as well as the GOP who blocked his plans to close it down because they wouldn't fund the transfer of prisons elsewhere.</a><br /><br />The health care bill is a mess, and again, blue dog Democrats were not helpful to him, and he got no cooperation from the GOP whatsoever. Could he have cajoled and manipulated certain members to get a better bill? Perhaps. But that's second-guessing.<br /><br />I understand the economic situation because members of my family are hurting in this economy and live from pay check to pay check. One relative I spoke with today was contemplating dropping insurance coverage for a child because of the expense each month!<br /><br />The most depressing part in all of this is that our problems can be solved because they were caused by us.<br /><br />I'm watching a once great country destroy itself with partisan bickering and intransigence, and for what purpose?<br /><br />Do sane people actually believe that the Republcan Party will be able to make this country prosperous again? <br /><br />Do people really, really believe that once a GOP president gets in office that by some miracle everyone will start cooperating?<br /><br />If coming together in cooperation and compromise would bring about solutions to our serious problems, why didn't we begin that process on January 21, 2009?<br /><br />Instead, we were served up, thanks to the conservative noise machine, a hope for failure.<br /><br />With the exception of Lincoln, I can't think of any other president who was faced with such rancor and contempt.<br /><br />No wonder we're in such a slow and painful recovery. <br /><br />But I'm with you on my determination to work hard for Mr. Obama.<br /><br />As I've said before, there is no US president who has had a perfect record in office.<br /><br />I'm well aware of the fact that they are all flawed human beings.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-24260144246859865012012-04-20T15:55:15.959-04:002012-04-20T15:55:15.959-04:00Shaw, I can understand that people are mad and ang...Shaw, I can understand that people are mad and angry. Let's face it, the economy is still in the tank, many are still without jobs, and here in Las Vegas, only about 6 people have a mortgage that is worth anywhere near the value of their home.<br /><br />If my experience is typical, a lot of us have been wiped out financially in the last few years. My home was my retirement, now I've got nothing and at 54, I am starting over, making very little.<br /><br />I am not happy with President Obama. <br /><br />I know he was dealt a crappy hand, but he forgot about us main street folks. He did seem to have a plan for us... he did save the bankers and the brokers, but not us.<br /><br />He promised openness in his administration and has reversed that. He argued against taking private money for campaigns, and reversed that. He said he would close Abu Grahib, and that is still open. Even his signature legislative accomplishment, the Health Care Act, is weak and will not solve anything.<br /><br />It turns out that health care reform is really nothing more than a bill to regulate the health care industry. It is not about care. No single payer, no real help for the middle class, and almost indefensible for the Dems that have to run for office with it on their record.<br /><br />How many of them will we see doing a Santorum, saying they took one for the team? If we take out the pre-existing condition clause and the extension of age for single kids, the bill sucks.<br /><br />But I still support President Obama, because the vision of the current group of GOP leaders is more of what got us into this mess in the first place.<br /><br />I still support President Obama because he has stood at the brink and made some great decisions. The bailout of GM and the OBL event come to mind.<br /><br />I still support President Obama because I will not support a party that refuses, or is unable to speak up when elected officials calls 80 Democrats Communists and then when pressed to offer up those names, waffles. And he did not just waffle, he Belgium Waffled, big time.<br /><br />I still support President Obama because while we have a lot of nuts in our party, when they go off the rails like Nugent did, he kicks them to the curb.<br /><br />Is President Obama perfect? No way. But unless and until the GOP Leadership starts to respond to misogyny, intimidating comments, baseless accusations like the ones made by Congressman West, and sees feckless name calling for what it is, I'll never vote for a GOP candidate.Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777087329254991970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-186160173120637772012-04-20T15:49:09.730-04:002012-04-20T15:49:09.730-04:00Ted Nugent a coward's man.
