It's Over!!

I'm happy Obama won, not because I think that he will perform miracles, but because McCain showed himself to be less than honorable by approving ads that were not true! So much for character.

Obama said the right things at the right times. He appears to be a centrist and I hope he will choose a bipartisan cabinet and get the Reppies to work with the Demmies for the betterment of the country.

As far as Socialism is concerned, well, it's really too late. Aside from the obvious items like welfare for the poor and bailing out the banks, we have corporate welfare -- the situation where the government GIVES BILLIONS to private companies...without getting any ownership!!! That's Capitalism? A Free-market Economy? Balderdash!

The Boston Globe said:

"The $150 billion for corporate subsidies and tax benefits eclipses the annual budget deficit of $130 billion. It's more than the $145 billion paid out annually for the core programs of the social welfare state: Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), student aid, housing, food and nutrition, and all direct public assistance (excluding Social Security and medical care)."

Read this list of corporate giveaways.

Why haven't the Conservatives demand that the government stop this Socialistic practice? It couldn't be that they own some of these companies...could it?

We’re facing tougher times. I hope people will give Obama a chance to make a difference. I hope that Republicans remember that we're all Americans first and political animals second.
