Frustrated

I think like everybody else I get frustrated once in awhile. Nothing frustrates me now more than this presidential election and how congress does absolutely nothing to help the american people. For years I have heard how the Democrats are the party of the "people" My grandparents both voted Democrat and my parents for a good portion of their life voted Democrat also. When I was about 10 years old there was a president in this country who I really admired. Perhaps you might remember him? He was our 40th president Ronald Reagan. He made me feel like the United States of America was the greatest country on the earth. President Reagan always was optimistic about our country and said its "Morning again in America". As a kid all I heard from Democrats was how lousy our country is and what lousy shape we are in and this is lousy and we should be ashamed of ourselves etc etc. Fast forward to 2008 and while there is no Ronald Reagan running for president we have the same old tired line from the Democrats. We need change and this is bad blah blah blah. Now I can write a whole blog on how lousy the Republicans have been too so before I get the I only bash Democrats comments know that I also hold Republicans up to scrutiny too. I miss the old Democrats of JFK and FDR who praised our country. Remember Ronald Reagen was originally a liberal democrat too! This fascination we have in our country right now for Barack Obama astounds me. What has he done? If you ask some of his supporters you would think he is going to walk on water, cure all illnesses and bring peace to the world with just his smile. At some of his campaign events people were fainting from the sheer joy of being near Obama. How silly can we get already? Some have said that Obama has the charisma and likeness of Ronald Reagan. All I can say to that is I knew Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan was a great leader that inspired us, Barack Obama you are no Ronald Reagan. God Bless All.
