My President is… Right?

Here comes the justification for all the bailouts! As a citizen, i hope i can trust and believe that these bailouts are somehow going to help me as i try to gain the ever so important credit status in America. We didn’t get into this predicament on accident and the banks are still hoarding money. I’m not sure which philosopher it was, but they said something like this “a country’s success isn’t based on the riches but how well off the lowest of society is.” So, though i can see how giving money to some large corporations can help in the short run, i eventually think the people most affected by the economic crisis will need some assistance, and those people are the people. And a trickle down affect of money giving to the top doesn’t seem like it will reach the people like it should, which needs to be directly!

How awesome would it be to go to a kingdom and see the peasants resemble kings? What would you think the kings look like? And how respected would that kingdom be? i don’t know, maybe i’m just babbling! check out this article on Obama’s words on the $315 billion bailout helping the people. (Goodness, that’s a lot of money)

‘Extraordinary Gathering’

President-elect, Barack Obama, is involved in yet another historic event. As all living former United States presidents meet in the Oval Office for the first time since 1981. For what, i don’t know! But it’s dubbed as an ‘extraordinary gathering’ by MSNBC i’m sort of leery in seeing such ‘men of power’ come together at this historic time. Ah, whatever, i’ll stop being cynical for once and enjoy the moment with the rest of the world! Sike! i’m still a little questionable on the United States government!

check out the video of the historic moment and read the article. i have some very intelligent viewers so i’m going to ask for you feedback on this historic moment! please email me h.wormely@hotmail.com

My President is…

Photographer Callie Shell tells it best: “Two staffers had just passed this site and done two pull-ups. Not to be outdone, Obama did three with ease, dropped, and walked out to make a speech.” Sure, the man’s ties are elegant and the suits fit relatively well, but sometimes style is less about the clothes you’re wearing than what you do while wearing them.
