As a dad, I am very aware about how my attitude is reflected in my children. It seems like they quickly pick up on my attitude and reflect it back causing a downward spiral. So it am trying to be happy and make the most of everyday.
One of the hardest things is listening to is the news about scum-organizations like AIG who will take bailout money from tax payers and spend it on executive bonuses. This boils my blood. 180 million dollars in bonuses for some of the worlds worst executive. This type of behavior from our government and our business sector makes me think they should let them eat their own desert. Let AIG go down and have the government organize a buyout where all the executive get the ax and the government get a bargain company. Force the buyout at a dollar a share so the executives loss all their stock options too. That is a closer to a free economy than just throwing money at the executives of a failing business. These guys should be walking the street looking for a job. They are total failures. What does the rest of the world think when they hear about the blatant corruption in Washington and in our financial sector. I have been studying history lately and there has always been a lot of it in our government but I was hoping to see Obama actually make some changes.
Anyways, I digressed. I have stopped listening to the news because it it too sad. When I am sad, my kids are sad so I need to turn it off for while. I hope there is still some government officials out there that will fight to clean up current mess. I will focus on raising balanced children who, hopefully. will make a difference in the future. We will see if writing about it on this blog will help me be a happier person or will I just spend more time thinking about scum like AIG.
As an Obama supporter, I am rapidly losing HOPE that Obama is going to establish a high level of ethics in our government. Every day I hear more about the horrible PORK and unnecessary spending that our current administration is loading on the taxpayers. Already, the main word I associate with Obama is PORK. The Original Obama HOPE poster was illegally copied from an AP artist so I am not sure who will hate my version more, the original artist or the artist who stole the work. Here is my interpretation of the Obama HOPE poster based on the recent bailout package with over 8000 PORK attachments. It is an embarrassment to me as a democrat.
