How true. If citizens would spend a fraction of the time they spend watching sporting events or sitcoms, watching their representatives in Washington, things would change.

If more people would scribble a note on the back of a grocery bag standing in line at the check out counter, things would change.

However, the kind of change Obama wants to bring about is scary. As Ronald Reagan said, “Government is the problem, not the solution.”

It is hard to find anything you’ve written or said to be off the mark. But what bothers me is the very people who should be reading your commentaries are off doing their thing, while the castle in Washington is drowning in pork barrel spending, elitism, arrogance, and down-right ignorance of the common people’s struggles to stay ahead of the curve, and retain their middle class status. I’m seeing signs that tell me we could be headed toward a two class society, of the haves and have nots. Having said that, I don’t think Barack Obama is the man to make the neccesary changes to turn things around. Why? Because his idea of CHANGE is spending more of our tax dollars on new social programs. That sort of change we don’t need at this juncture in time…
