The Words of Recovery.

Lets try to negotiate the words our leaders and businesses use to define recovery. Of course the first word that comes to mind is "Responsible." Now who the heck is that? That certainly isn't the "irresponsible" and "non credit worthy" they labeled, is it?

Ok, jump down to some car dealer advertising or lenders and lets see some of their other words or slogans. The ever popular "with approved credit", or if you have "a 720 beacon score or better" most normally in the very fine print. Yes, of course you have to read the fine print multiple times to get past the baloney about lenders. Yes if you "qualify" another one of dubious fame. Then of course the media and politicians favorites these days , moderate" and "centrist." the days of liberal or conservative long dead. We don't want to be associated with the old Washington crowd now do we? Someone just might realize this is the same old Washington crowd. Hey what can one say to that but really. Yes you shall know them by their works, well only for believers as for the rest please give us all a break.

Now of course you have the ever present slogans like help is on the way." Ok for who might I ask? Do we not know who our President was referring to? The again how about this one "We will get through this." Ok who Mr. President just who are you referring to because frankly many of are getting scared you either don't know who you are referring to or have just a specific group on your mind that many don't evidently fit into. Can it be the Law of Selective Application at work?

Now once again one can go on but why bother? This group of readers content in what they have and who their leader refers to. Yes their leader because, well frankly and sincerely and in my opinion based on works they voted for him and works was never an issue with them. They could care less about works and capability just race. Yes and some may call me racist for speaking that fact.

This president uses the words, his not anyone else's, our recovery, just who is our? Is that applied to Americans or the world or just those that have? Yes his words not mine, our recovery while referring to other countries. Yes and that AIG money went offshore to help poor foreign investors while I and millions of Americans hope not to lose their home, be thrown on the street. Please profess all you may, it is in my opinion no more then a sham. Sorry to be so abrupt but sin is sin in my opinion and you cannot hide it . You see good and evil just does not mix and works point them out regardless of what is said, how they try to hide it.

So to ut this to rest why not speak specifically to us working family types, ordinary folk, little guys and regular Joe's sucking wind with this so called help. We can accept that rather then continue to get mislead.

Sure you can buy it but you cannot hide it, no, just ignore it for your own reasons. So, when they toss the words out, listen, think. When you read that add check out the very fine print, ever so small, ever so concealed, there as they say before you, but so easily missed if you are not careful. Yes learn to hear what is not said, what is implied just as critical and important as what is said.

Hey but this is America and why should they or even me expect Americans to understand, Moo seems real appropriate in my opinion with an occasional He Haw. hey that is from their lips not mine, I just use it. Yes bovine, hoofed beasts of burden who can't think for themselves.

I'm starting to see what they mean.

I like the "I inherited this mess" line the best. Chicago politics had nothing to do with it?

Yes Ken right on target. I seem to recall he pushed the first bailoput as needed, need we go back further?  Thanks much, Robert.

I am beginning to think everyone wants to be an ostrich.

Thanks, for reading, yes, heads somewhere but you said it more kinder then I would have. One has to examine the total picture to get a grasp on it all. I have talked enough on this site to why and have my conffirmations each day. I can say in truth the majority on this site do not hold my views. Yet that is expected in light of what I write to.  Best Wishes,
