Did I go to sleep with my toes just barely touching middle class, getting ready to celebrate a major wedding anniversary, feeling blessed with a good life to see my husband and I through, than I woke up to this nightmare?
At first I was proud our Country could possibly elect a man of color to the highest office in the land. Than I thought he was a wondrous Pied Piper, his words were his melodious tune that was leading us down a path and I prayed it was the correct path. Than all the money being thrown about for the enormous bling-bling parties and so much, tacky, undignified gushing.
Was anyone thinking about what the rest of the World thought of us through that seemingly endless time? Mrs and President George W. Bush were exceptionally gracious, did anyone notice? No, what I did notice was at every chance, the people around our Pied Piper were twisting the knife at every chance. I sensed an agenda had all ready been put in place. A lot of Chicago people. Many did not expect to be caught. They thought the Bush and Cheney sins would still be blocking the American vision. Rahm Emanuel was quickly picked and had his work cut (no pun meant) out for him.
The remaining Republicans still had some fight left in them. The people of color could be counted on, but only to a point where it did not effect their life style they had worked so hard for. It is March 3, 2009 and President Barack Obama has caused this Country and it's people Trillions of dollars which we, as tax payers will have to pay for as well as our children, our grandchildren and even beyond. Can't blame that all on Bush. No sir, you can't.
President Obama tells us it is going to get worst before it gets better. How many of us, will even see "better?"
Is our President a Pied Piper or a Puppet?
Wake me when the Obama presidency is over or when someone figures out what the heck he is doing as President of the United States of America. He may be America's first President of color, but he is not going to be an inspiration to those who had so much faith in him.
