a lot of talk, few actions, more spending, less jobs, socialist programs, pay offs to the unions and blatant bribery of elected officials.........

Just more of the same really! G-dub was no different. McCain would've done the same as well. I don't think any of our politicians are thinking differently... We should start some threads on guys that are thinking outside the box like Ron Paul.

I am for voting out all incumbants and having term limits. Senate 1 term and House 2 terms. Lets make public service a service again. No more careers in politics.

Oh Yeah, McCain would have been just as bad as Obama and Bush. They all have the same aim of a large all controlling government. I second Ron Paul. Especially since I just did my taxes.

no job in 1.5 years, except enough stuff from a friend to survive
wife is a full time student and type 2 diabetic
my boats motor is torn apart and needs the head rebuilt
i need some new running rigging ( main halyard )
i really could use a new main sail
my boat needs some minor glass work and a paint job
my car is off the road because of ins reasons, ie the money is needed other places
i am over qualified for over 300 jobs i have applied for, except 2 one did not hire me, i have not heard back on the other yet as i just applied

the good things, i have not died, the wife has been in the hospital twice over the last 1.5 years because of diabetes and she is doing well right now
she is going to school for something she really loves
and thanks very much for family or i would be dead, screwed, homeless, hungry etc
and thanks for sailnet to get my mind off most of the above

scottyt,

The unfortunate thing is a whole lot of hardworking people who were not over extended are in the same mess. BEST WISHES in something coming along for you, and yours.

I disliked Bush, and he did started this mess. I dislike Obama, and I am tired of his plans, and referring to Bush. He asked for the job, so quit whining. Neither of these 2 knuckleheads got my vote.

Sarah turns my stomache. The last thing we need is a winking child talking cheerleader. This past election I voted every emcumbant out. That's the kind of change that is needed. I am tired of the finger pointing at the otherside. They need to know they work for us, and not themselves.

Out of all the knuckleheads in office. It's Pelosi that just makes me want to puke. The thought of Ron Paul makes me smile, or someone like him.........i2f

As long as people keep expecting government to do things it wasn't meant to do, nothing is going to change. Or, to put it another way, as long as politicians think they can buy our votes with entitlements and pork, they'll keep doing it.
