“The most disturbing issue of the election was how President Obama managed to win re-election in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania and Michigan by talking about the highly unpopular bailout of General Motors. By taking billions of dollars in hard-earned money from taxpayers during a deep recession and giving it to a couple of huge companies, Obama managed to buy the votes he needed to eke out re-election. Taxpayers remain on the hook to the tune of $25 billion.”
More proof that elections have simply become “popularity contests.”
I can’t believe people are so excited about this election, when most of them are further away from achieving “The American Dream” than ever.
Regardless of whom anyone voted for, one of the worst things about the direction we’re headed is, that, most people in this country–especially going forward–will never know what it’s like to live the “American Dream,” to the level my generation did–and that’s sad.
Blame whomever you want for that–but you either achieve your dreams or you don’t–and, IMO, no politician will be able to change that now, so “dream on.”
