Hi,
Thanks. I thought I started the thread under breaking news but it is in general discussions, I must have screwed up.
Probably should tell you that I am almost 70, former Marine, grew up in Illinois, now live in FL with a summer home in IL.....and have married grandchildren.
I am very active on the Cub website and get tangled up in the political threads in the non-babeball discussions. Arguing with some of those clowns is as frustrating as trying to put toothpaste back into a tube.
In the last two weeks my guess is a dozen of my peers have expressed to me that they are truly afraid.........afraid of our government. This is not the America I grew up in at all.
In a letter to my children and grandchildren on inaguration day I predicted that when it came to domestic issues BO's lack of experience and leadership will show quickly as the inmates will be in charge of the asylum. My guess was the libs in congress will feel like they hit the jackpot. If the republicans do not do their job as a minority party....keep the majority party honest, they may very well have indeed hit the jackpot.
Never did I think that he would violate the public trust so quickly. Hell even Jimmie Carter and Clinton took a few years, BO has established an entirely new record, one that will stand for years to come.
