Oh updates and the like

Even though I’m not traveling,  and I don’t have followers I thought I’d still keep writing.  Why? It sorta keeps me thinking about things.  And by things, I mean the random stuff that clutters my mind that really can’t go other places.

  I know the huge debate is Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize.  I don’t dislike Obama.  I don’t care much for him either.  For me, I prefered him to run over Clinton and well, after McCain picked Palin. . . I don’t buy the ‘lack of experience’ (see Bush II, Clinton, Regan, Carter, Kennedy).  I just don’t care for him. :shrug: but I don’t care for our system that doesn’t really count votes except for in a handful of states.  I’ve never missed a presidential election and my vote has never mattered.

Part of the anti-Obama sentiment I think has to come from the fact he has been less secretive than Bush II about the true state of the union.  Also, I feel that the electorate thought, in part, he could walk on water.  Um….negative.  I also think Obama underestimated the idiocy at the end of the street.  Hi, let’s argue over the amount of fingers most people have for 394394348381 days.  Let’s fund the idea to launch a rocket to blow up part of the moon while facing 10% unemployment (I’d like my $300 for that dumb idea).  I’m not sure how extending unemployment benefits can be a bad idea: handout, perhaps.  But Washington is wasting money on very idiotic ideas (see the moon idea).  Are people supposed to lose homes? Choose between heat and food?  This one seems like a no-brainer.  Living on unemployment isn’t exactly filet mignon living.  It’s mac and cheese.  But then again, what do I know.
