What Are We Thinking?

I know I have said this before, but it seems like our great country is going to hell in a hand-basket!  There was a report of a precious little 7-year old girl who was being taunted because of a neighborhood feud.  A feud that was NOTHING important to begin with.  I believe the Mom had passed away and they created a portrait of her with the Grim Reaper and then showed a picture of the little daughter with her head above a set of cross bones.  Seriously???  Why is it that grown adults think they have the right to taunt children that way?  I am just horrified!  My heart goes out to that little one.  At 7 years old, ALL children have the right to be able to be kids, grow up in a normal environment, and not be tormented by neighborhood bully adults!

Have you seen the report on the doctors doing amputations needlessly?  Yep!  It is happening in Greece!  WHY?  I'm so glad you asked!  Because their Government-run health care (remember....that is what is on the horizon for us) allows the physicians to do foot amputations because it is cheaper than special footwear for the Diabetics!  Sounds ridiculous, huh?  Well, Folks...tighten your seat belts because this is going to be  a very bumpy ride if we don't elect politicians who are willing to overturn the current health-care system.

On a lighter note (because it is better to laugh than to cry!)...did you listen to Obama's speach today?  Well, remember how many times he used the term "shovel-ready projects" during his campaigning for all his stimulus bailouts?  Well, he admited today that there is no such thing as "shovel-ready projects"!  Really, Mr. President???  And, it only took him 21 months to learn that!?   Now, his comment that he looked too much like a "tax and spend liberal democrat" is classic, and is just one step above his saying the he should have let the GOP insist on stimulus tax cuts. 

I don't know about you, but my humble opinion is that he is just speaking out of both sides of his mouth....again!  Of course, he has the democrats upset with him now so they are saying (have realized) that he (Obama) is only good for fundraising!!!  Well, they may have just said something with which I agree....for once!
