Left, right, or middle;

I would like the Real Mr. Obama to please stand up?

As Alice fell down the "rabbit hole," I feel I am in the

hole and accidentally peaked out to see the world.

Yikes, what a nightmare. Like having one of those

commercial songs, repeating all night and unable

to sleep, I was tortured by a host of questions.

Everyday, our President appears on National television

to speak. As a "grown up," now, I can remember

many past years when our Presidents, may have

been seen on television, a couple times a year. I don't know,

maybe it is me, but I would like to think my President is too

busy to speak to the world, everyday. If he has staff to

handle such for him, then why is it he is in front of

us daily? Other Presidents also, appeared to be religious.

Mr. Obama, each and every speech is ended;

"and God Bless The United States of American." Yet,

he never attends church. Does he take Sunday's to

sleep in? Family breakfast day? I can not remember,

any past President that did not attend some formal

spirtual service weekly. Does this mean, he may not

believe in God? Perhaps, he feels God has no place in

our policy making. Then why, I ask does he bother

ending his speech with God Bless us one and all?

My mindless, useless thoughts rambling on late into

the morning asking this question; if no one has read

the healthcare bill, I can't help but ask, who wrote it?

Funny, I was actually taught Political Science by one

of our ex-representatives and he might have gone over

that, but for the life of me, I can not seem to answer the

question. When American's were asked to dig deep down

and give to help those in Haiti after the earthquake, the

Obama's announced, they had donated to the cause,

a big $15,000. If you make in excess of 5 million, does

that mean he's spreading others wealth, keeping

all of his for himself? Again, $15,000 seems to be

relatively small compared to his overall income! Maybe,

it's just me, again, in the past when tragic events have

happened, with most Presidents, probability the

donation would have been $150,000. With so

much pain and poverty in our nation, why are we

okay giving so much of our wealth to other countries?

Other countries don't seem to give us money as donations,

if I understand it correctly, we borrow and pay high

interest rates. This oil spill that is currently distroying

our coastlines is sickening. We have master minds,

smartest people in the world, however, it is blowing and

going. Story sounds alot like using a toothpick to

dig a ditch. I do not understand this, either. Mr. Obama

again, seems to show up a few minutes late to the party.

I can't help but wonder, if Hawaii and the whole

island was about to drown in oil, would he act different?

I went to the local Home Depot the other day and asked

the nursery area employee where I could find an

Obama Tree? He responded, they were all gone. To

bad, I remarked, without planting one now, my money

will not be ready to harvest, by summer.
