Optomism waning
I'm trying to stay optomistic about our next President. It's still very difficult to see where he is different from Bush. He plans to stay in Iraq, expand Afghanistan, continue the No Child Left Behind act, continue bailing out big business (with lip service to 'main street' - ha!). He talks about raises for 'some teachers' (ones who raise those phony test scores - a monkey can do that - a teacher helps kids actually learn how to be a life-long learner, not a bubble filler). It's difficult to remain optimistic, but I'm trying.

I believe the new president has a lot of work ahead of him...and it will be hard to un-do a lot tht has happened, like job loss..He might be giving some people raises but these people are daily losing their invested money for retirement..i know a nurse who just lost 20,000 the other day..and the Hospital invested {and lost} her money..why a company would invest peoples money right now is beyond me..but more is being lost than gained forsome who will get the raises.
I like the no child left behind thing. thought when i had kids, it was a good thing for poor people..
I'm against farmers being paid not to plant crops. and would like to see that stoped. And the War, I didn't want that war even when Bush had the right area...You'd think, now that were admitting we are stuck in the wrong place that it would end.
hopefully people will not freeze to death sleeping in cars, or starve before things get better..
I think Obama will truly TRY to fix a lot of things Bush messed up..he has a lot of pressure on him. and people will never feel he did enough no matter what..
but this is all just my opinion.
I'm waiting for the Bible lesson blog to get going....we need it.
