There can't be a change in the system unless it starts from the bottom up. And at this point, it looks like the idiots in this country are more interested in bread and circuses.
Say huh? Last I recall there was going to be 'hope' and 'change'...from the bottom up. We have not seen a darn thing other than spending and ignoring the better part of what Americans want. Really, who wants to listen to an hour of Obummer? Specifically when nothing has been done of any means or measure. We got a guy who won a Nobel for basically hanging out. Perhaps America is already fed up and Lost looks a bit more promising for the evening. Certainly Washington has nothing promising. As far as doing something about it there has been. People march on Washington. Called or written their Congressmen. For what? So we can have closed door healthcare discussion. It is the same old clap trap and the same old state of the union deal. Oh, keep the eye on the ball in Afghanistan..no wait...is it Yemen today? Talk about getting snowed by the Obummer campaign....I mean really snowed.
