Two days

Well , here we are with two days left until we elect the person that we hope will bring America back to where we belong. It has been a long and sometimes nasty campaign, and the division of America has never been larger. Blame: each party has blamed the other for all of the woes that are facing America, and they alone are the only answer. Mistrust and hate: Why do we as one country have to mistrust our fellow man ,in order to try to advance our ideas. The hatered ( according to the blog responses that I read daily) that has been displayed during this election has been mind boggling. It would be refreshing to have either and or both candidates come out and try to rally both sides of the American electorate. Sides : This in my opinion is the main problem that is now facing our once great country. Why do we need to have sides, as it is a sure way to divide any group. One Nation under God. It would be nice if that still means the same thing as when our country was founded. One Nation, implies that as a group we strive for the same goals and face the same problems as a united front. Under God implies that there is a higher power, that bestowed life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us all. Sometimes we forget as a people, as we face our personal problems and endure the challenges of our daily lives. Sometimes we forget that we are all created equal. Moving forward as a group: Unity we have to learn to become united as our countrys name implies. We need to put all of this hatred and division behind us and lift each other up as we lift America back to the place where we belong.

An open letter to Willard "Mitt" Romney and Barrack Hussein Obama. Show us that both of you can act as adults

Willard "Mitt" Romney and Barrack Hussein Obama both of you have gone way too far in your quest to show all American's how childish you can get and to what lengths you will stoop to obtain the prize. It's time to stop all of this unneeded and unwanted waste of our time. We expect more from our elected representives than either one of you have shown as of late. It's past time to roll up your seleves for something more than a photo op and get busy working on the real problems that are dragging down America as you two act like children. Have either one of you asked some outside observers to look at your campaigns and to give you an honest opinion of how you really look. Hint it is not a picture that either one of you would really want to be represented by. Grow up and act like someone worthy of our consideration for the highest office in the land

Romney , made his choice Paul Ryan gets the nod

Paul Ryan has been choosen to be Presidential hopeful Willard "Mitt" Romney's number two. This is all well and good , but isn't it time to work on the problems that grow with each passing day. There are still many days ahead in this term that both the Congress and the President could be using to do the work that they were hired to do. Let's stop the finger pointing and name calling and get down to the business of running this country. Constructive progress, could be if all of the childish bickering were put aside for a while and have these so called professionals work their magic. Each of these people were hired , because they told their respective bosses( that's you and me ), that they have all of the right ideas to move forward as a country, let's hold them to their promisses. Does your vote count? not if you keep casting it for the same old tired broken down members that apparently have their own best intrest in mind. Did your representives bring you all they promissed you in their last campaign, were they close? Lip service, Sure some of these polished people can tell a good story of shinning streets paved with gold and jobs abounding for all , but what's the reality. Let's blame someone else, it's not my fault, I worked for you but I just couldn't couldn't bring enough attention to our plight. Notice how they always will equate themselves with you and your problems. Not really the case. We are on our own as wittnessed by the past accomplishments of both parties.Do nothing Congress. Are you better of now then you were before the last election? remember the mid term when the House replaced many of their menbers with the clear message of brining the jobs back to America. Then we can go back a couple more years to the last Presidential election. Nope and blame...

Wow, reality found it's way home

The fourth of July holiday is just now past,and I hope you all had a nice hoilday with friends and families. The election season is getting dirtier and more childish with the passing of each day. Why can't honor and integrity be a part of the American way of life. Shouldn't there be some sort of penalty for saying something that is clearly a lie , and acting on it as if it were the truth. Both sides of this Presidential election have pushed the envelope , as far as telling tall tales that are detrimental to the country as a whole, not just their opponent. Each day on the news you will hear something that you know is not true ,that one candidate or the other has said and the whole country will be acting on it as if God himself had made a decree, not caring if there is any personal damage inflicted by the careless use of something that we learned to be ashamed of as children. Liar liar pants on ... well you know, at all cost: Whatever it takes to achomplish the desired goal. Lowering yourself, to less than zero should not become a sought after trait in the person running our country.Who can tell the best story and do it without breaking into uncontrolled laughter is declared the new President , by the consitution and is honored with all of the pagentry accorded to the office. Isn't it great....

Nothings changed. United States of America...

Sorry to report , that nothing has changed in the past couple of weeks. The Presidental campaign is still dividing the country. On the the one hand you have a candidate who has never offered any specifics on any issue, choosing instead to just say that on DAY ONE I will do this , or I will do that, never really offering any type of plan other than to say I will do it differently. Regettably, never considering the very fact that in order to do anything both houses of congress and the President have got to work together and put forth some amount of effort and work as a United group striving towards a common goal. No longer: we don't do that here in America any more. Now sadly, we just point fingers and place blame, even if the facts don't bear out the issues. We now stand pat in our opposition at all cost. And this really is the sad point about all of the division that has swept America, all cost. Blind allegiance to an unknown, following blindly not knowing where one is headed but going there just the same. The other hand, has had three and a half years to show us what he is made of and that fact usually would be the tale of the tape under normal circumstances not any longer. This President wasted some time in the beginning of his Presidency that could of been used working on some of the very issues that are now coming back to haunt him. Did he really control both the House and the Senate. In the beginning, sure he had those two branches of our government on paper but he did not hold the allegiance of the parties involved. Sour grapes: there were sore losers among both branches who had their pollitical aspirations dashed by this upitty community organizer and they were not about to allow our President, a black man to gain in any of his attempts at solving any of the problems that are facing us. The President worked through this and did gain their trust and allegiance only to find that nothing was still not going to be achomplished as long as this man was black.. Mid terms: the mid terms brought another set of obstacles with the advent of the tea party and the removal of the majority that this man may have enjoyed. Now he was at the mercy of the G O P and there was no way that they were ever going to allow a black man to solve the very problems , that they themselves had been unable or unwilling to fix for decades. Childish behavior: In grammer school, we expect a certain amount of backstabbing,finger pointing and name calling as this comes with the adolescent mind. We don't however expect to have this kind of behavior coming from our so called professional politicians. These people have earned for the most part at least some sort of degree, having gone through at least some college. These people have sold themselves to us as the be all and end all of all of our problems. If they can't fix it no one can. They all claim that they know how to run a business/ government, yet if they were sitting at the helm of a company that has not achomplished anything in over three years, you would think that they would seriously be thinking about the removal of the over FIVE hundred workers responsible that have done nothing. We hold the upper hand: sorry Mr. President , but you seem to be forgetting that we do hold all of the cards. One term: one term and out has been the battle cry of the GOP for the duration of the Presidency, AT All COST. Did I say childish and it is not going to change anytime soon....

Republican nomination process complete, well almost

This past week Governor Romney wrapped up the Republican nomination, with a win in Texas. Now the gloves have come off and Katie bar the door, as everything is free game. Does it matter if it is true, not anymore just say it enough times and well you know it worked for George. I read the comments on Yahoo News stories from time to time , to gauge where the American people stand on a variety of topics, and I can tell you that we have never had as much hate and mistrust for our fellow countrymen as we have have now. Do yourself a favor and spend a few minutes reading some of the comments, and you will come away with the same feelings of dread and apprehension as I have about the future of our country. We are in the desperate need of someone who can unite Americans from both sides to work together at the problems facing this once great land. Does it bother me to use the term this once great land? you had better believe it. There is no reason why our country cannot still be the shining example to the rest of the world . Have you no honor: I was telling my wife during the Memorial day holiday that as children, America was a great place to live. A place where if you applied yourself, you could obtain whatever your dream was. Patriotism: not anymore. Once upon a time in America, come every holiday most homes would fly the American flag with a proud sense of belonging . Do you own one Did it fly. Looking back : perhaps things were not as rosey as I would like to remember them. We did have the space race , with an ever growing sense of pride that we Americans could come together and apply our knowledge to obtain something greater than the just for me attitude that we now find oursleves embracing. Unemployment fell from just over seven percent in 1-61 to run at just below four percent thru 1-70 It was a great time in America. Then of course there was a war, and a Presidential scandal forever blackening the eye of the collective American populace. Maybe not as great as I would like to have believed, but still better than the prospect that we now hold. It's time...

Immediate action

In the wake of the recent scandals at both the GSA and the FBI, the immediate course of action should be to fire all of the principal players at the ground level , then fire the first level managers, reprimand and possible demotion of the next level managers and a sever reprimand of all top level managers, in both departments. All of these people were asleep at the switch and need to be shown that business as usual is not to be tolerated. For those of you demanding that the President be held accountable, let me tell you this . There are over a million employees in the federal Government and to think that any one person could be responsible for thier actions is foolhardy at best. This is why there are managers at every level, and this is where the disciplinary actions need to start.
