Sorry to hear about your car wreck drama...you are just one of many...been there too! However I can not blame Obama for that and neither can you...you can however blame that on ALL the preceeding Presidents that have left our borders open to illegal aliens...you do realize the current president elect has done NOTHING is the past 8 years to deter illegal aliens from coming in...Why? Well let's just be honest here...because America is a greedy nation...or shall I say the Corporations that dictate how the country is really ran...needs illegal aliens to do the jobs that slavery ended! So we out source to countries where we can pay people less than our American's! Obama has done a great job...much more than Bush could ever dream of.

At least Obama can read, speak, and has an abundance of intelligence to hopefully get us out of this mess! Bush smiles in your face...lies and is full of deceit! This country is in ruins single-handedly thanks to him and his raggedy administration. It's sad I am a single mother whom had my own successful business (making $10K-$14K a month) until our dollar dropped to the value of .50...and now I find myself having to join the Army Reserves to support my child due to the lack of jobs! I am 4 classes away from a degree...I am educated, intelligent, and somewhat disgusted that this is what I have to do to survive, but hell...it beats the alternate of starving to death or depending on my country to hand me out $! But I know tons of people that were making $70,000 to $350,000 a year getting food stamps now, because our country has gone to hell in a hand basket...but that's what happens when you have an administration that only cares about the "haves" and not the "have nots". We already reside in a damn near socialist society anyways...do you really think Bush won the last election...as Whitney would say "hell to the no"! If Jeb wasn't in office and his sorry cousin didn't head FOX...things would have been quite different.

Power to the people...yeah right! We the people do not control of shit, because we do not stand up and make our voices heard. We are fed things from the media and question nothing...most are not capable of thinking for themselves. I think EVERY single person in Congress, the House of Rep., etc...should be fired and we should start over with "we the people" putting newer qualified people in office that do not have any ties with big corporations.

And one last thing...do you really think the Bush administration cares about your rights? Guess you do not mind invasion of your privacy and civil liberties. I would take a millon obama's over any republican choice out there. I am confident that he cares more about the people than any republican. I would rather take a chance than to put a man in office that is willing to be in war for 100 years...the USA will not be around in 100 years if that happens!
