Shaking Hands

It shouldn't be a bad thing, shaking hands. But when you are shaking hands with a man that has done nothing but downgrade our society, our beliefs, and our way of life, it causes a little stirring. And once again, our illustrious leader is making us look like the bad guy.

Hugo Chavez was a very hated man in this country. He called our President the devil. I've called George W. a few names myself, but I never called him the devil. He called Obama an ignoramus. Chavez has also managed to be photographed, twice, shaking hands with Obama. If you look at the footage of the second handshake, you will see him looking for and at the camera. He knew what he was doing. He was doing it deliberately. That's just more bad press for Obama and more fodder for the rumor mills.

There have been comments made by the president regarding the role of Americans in the downfall of several countries. He has made two speeches in which he seems to apologize for our behavior. I think maybe he is leading us, but in a direction we don't want to go.

During the election, the Democrats, including Obama, were all for the government opening up. It was our right and privilege to protest and demand answers from the government. Where is that attitude now? The TEA Parties that were just held were said to be organized by people that didn't understand the dynamics of economics and were misinformed. Some media stations referred to protesters as rednecks. They were not rednecks. I'm married to a redneck. They all had shirts and shoes on, and none of them were parked on the sidewalk or in the grass.

The next step supposedly is the Amero. It's like the Euro, only for the Americas and Canada. I'm not real sure that I want to share currency with other countries. I'm pretty sure that's a dumb idea. Why on earth would we want to tie our unstable economy with the shaky economies of the rest of the world? They are all intertwined, but I like having something for us, the good ol' USA.

I don't have answers and I don't even have a lot of good arguments. I just know that so far, I am not impressed by the lack of leadership, caring, and respect coming from the White House. I feel like Obama has surrounded himself with some very self serving people that do not have the best interest of the country in mind. I feel like our legislators feel like they can do whatever they want and we will roll over and take it. We have for so very long, and many are still oblivious to what's going on beyond the end of their noses.

Start informing yourselves about what is being said about our country. Pay attention to where and who those things are coming from. Beware of who is shaking hands with our leaders. And keep looking for the knife in your back.
