My concern is not only the sanity of what our government is doing with our money, but I question the possibility of criminality.

In a matter of weeks, Obama has thought of things to do with the money that other people have made, in a magnificent, glorious manner. Never before has anyone dreamed of spending so much of other people's money as Obama has. This is a change indeed, and in fact, the joke is, change is all we will have left. In what way does burdening our children and grandchildren with paying for Obama pipe-dreams, show compassion for our young people? What if they don't want to buy out the mortgages of those who don't pay their own bills?

Is the ceiling for corporate executives the same $500,000 annual salary the same number of the salary that Michelle Obama earned last year? Is telling us that we are on our way to desolation, helpful, and am I alone in wondering why if "we" are being scolded about discipline in spending and waste not, want not, while Obama has parties every night, and Pelosi spends $60,000 every week to fly her jet to and from San Francisco and back to Washington D.C.

I'm paying for abortions that I believe are immoral, not just in my own country, but I get the honor of paying for them all over the world. Gee, thanks! I deeply resent the disdain for the faithful, the assumption that only government can save us, and that people of faith have narrow minds. May I introduce a new word created by a friend of mine,..."Hippie-crit"..and you all know what it means. It is a term for the intolerant who insist I buy those curly light-bulbs that will require thousands of dollars in clean up if I drop it, and it breaks, the mercury is highly toxic. Do I want a battery car? Studies have shown that the batteries will cause greater damage than regular cars, when they have become too old to be driven.

God forbid if we have another attack. If we are in decreasing our defense budget by 10%, if we are telling our terrorist enemies that we will have given up and left Iraq in 2010, if we are having open boundary war with Mexico,...I do not want dreams, call it hope or not, I do not want further debt, I am cleaning up my debt-load, and I do not want bureaucrats messing with the private sector, since they have no sense about how to make the economy work.

There are open calls for Tea Parties, meaning that there is taxation without representation. I am not represented by the Democrats, certainly not by Obama, and I bear him no ill will, but in my opinion, he is not a leader. A leader is a person of bravery, independent, has a sense of the possible, not the impossible, and patience. I do not comprehend why he is thinking of spending billions of our dollars, and in such a hurry. I should be elected for President if all I need to do is be charming and think of how to spend other people's money, what a gig! Again, I'm just not so sure some of this is even legal, perhaps criminal.
