No sleep again last night. Our Labs have decided to have a Bark Fest 2009 now....of course only when it's dark outside. I took the banana bread to work and had WAY too much coffee with it this morning. I mean after clicking my pen over and over, walking the hallways chronically and typing a mile a minute, I figured....wow, I need to drink more DECAF! LOL

I'm waiting for the Obama speech tonight. I just simply don't agree with his ideas. I don't agree that America has gotten into the economy fix we are in because of banks or mortgages. I think our society is just plain greedy now-a-days. No, not everybody is that way but alot of folks are just plain greedy. I mean, if you can't afford a 350, 000 dollar home, don't borrow money for that. Find something that fits your means. I"m trying not to get on a sermon here but from what I have observed and experienced the new generation X or so to speak has no concept of that principle. Remember the days of "lay-a-way"? I remember the days when you progressively obtained things as you earned them not the other way around. The principle theme now is "Oh, I will just borrow thousands of dollars, oh no, hundreds of thousands, and then I will figure out how to pay for it later..." Well, think that way if you want to but guess what? It's painful to pay back. Even if we have better ethics, we are all paying for this attitude.
I read on the Internet as one of the headlines today that the average out of pocket medical expense per American next year will be $8,000 per person per year. Oh, but if we follow Obamas plan we will all be encouraged to just get unemployment and Medicaid will pay better. I heard today his new reformed mortgage solution is that if people don't pay x 3 months on their mortages then the banks will have to make a plan for repayment and then after the 3 months will give 1000 dollars a month towards the new mortgage. Excuse me but I think we will all be just foreclosing if this happens because it is enabling Americans to just keep not acknowledging that you have to live within your means. More money for unemployment and Welfare is again rewarding negative. Now, don't get me wrong, federal programs are good if used appropriately for a short time to assist but not a lifetime career for Goodness sakes. I see it all the time. Folks don't know what their means are. Now, you have to fit a certain model to fit in, to have friends, to be American. Oh this really is so not American anymore.
Ok, I see the President has arrived and now we must listen to an hour of........"where's the bottom line??" and one more thought on this............Michelle Obama, PUULLEAZE get some lipstick!!!! LOL
