Why Dont They Do What They Say?

I guess we have all heard by now that the first bailout was to help people who were struggling. Well that didn't happen and yes big business and the wealthy gave themselves bonuses and toys and our leaders all said hey, we screwed up. We gave them an open line and they abused it. Trust us, this won't happen again they say, really. Surprise, surprise and now our president calls them "the height of irresponsibility".  I can't believe it. No, I can, but not many others.

"AP Today reported 18 billion in bonus money just one day after he [president Obama] surrounded himself with well paid chief executives [cough, cough, sorry something got stuck in my throat] at the white house. Yes he had them there and "hailed them" for being in the front lines of seeing the enormous problems in our economy right now".

Yes
these same ones who caused it. Rhetorically is Obama really a Republican?

Well we all know what they propose and for who and in my opinion by what is written isn't for no income, low income, out of work, average Americans. Yes and just like I recently stated our new president has all of a sudden found out things don't work the way he said they would once he got elected and guess what? That's right, he is now calling on the Unions to call, call, call Congress to help him out. Why, because you still hope and like everyone we all want to give him a chance.

Now I'm all for that as well. I know some of you have a hard time with me saying that but I sincerely hope for all Americans and yes that I am wrong about our new leader. I have to say he can be very likable at times. However, it is just that I like to look at the facts and what I know about the man. What he stood for, stands for now, what his ideology is and what he has done or failed to do and what I have experienced first hand. Frankly some things may be ok that he gets accomplished, then again will it really help those hurting and soon? I for one think it will be no more then crumbs. Why, as I just stated, by experience.

Well what else have we got? By fact they could change a lot overnight but they won't and you don't believe it anyway. Yes and that is the veil that blinds many. It is New Age and they say it openly just like Hitler did. Yes and the farm was purchased just like Neville Chamberlain did.

Well look why write to it any longer but only to say the answers are there and Why won't they do what they say? In my opinion it just isn't in the agenda, their goals, their ideology and yes their character. They may ask what is the agenda but that is a rhetorical question because they already know the truth, the real answer. It comes forth out of everything they say time after time after time one word in everything you hear WORLD.

Now there is no longer any reason as I said to write to it and I am not. Those who know the story, the play, the book, the movie know the scenes, the chapters, the ending. They know how it is going to happen and why. They believe that while others hold to their own beliefs and rightly so. They follow along looking on eagerly as to what will happen next and in my opinion only never getting it.

No, I don't mean that derogatorily but they just don't see it the way I or many do. Their choice, their end. So to those few who will miss my ranting, sorry, your opportunity. I will turn my writing to the mundane things of life while I sit back and watch the play unfurl. It really is one of the most exciting times in our lives but for different reasons for all of us. It is the greatest Story Ever Told.
