I’m not a republican nor am I democrat. I’m just an independent who is wandering what these crazy people who call themselves POLITICIANS are trying to do? I’m surprised that Barack Obama has been able to maintain his sanity this far. First, you have politicians having affairs or either paying for escorts; second you have shady dealings such as trying to sell a senate seat for money and recognition; third you have republicans doing everything in the book besides acting like a child of God so that the new president can start his tenure off on the wrong foot; and lastly you have the president with only a few days left in office leaving the country in this big recession while he goes to his new home he just brought in Texas!
The whole government is just screwed up and my concern for Barack Obama is can he keep his cool with all this drama and this unorganized government? Can the democrats really bring this country back to where it needs to be? And will the good people of this country be able to trust these shady politicians? What really got me about this whole political thing was the bailout gig. It seems like once Wall Street received a bailout then everybody and their mama came out of the woodworks and wanted a bailout. The auto industry wanted money and the transit system wanted money! What are these people thinking?
I’m also getting tired of people complaining about everybody that Obama picks to be apart of his administration. It seems like no matter who Obama appoints, there was something wrong with his pick. They had something to say when he picked Joe Biden, they had something to say when he picked Hillary Clinton, they had something to say when he picked his chief of staff, and now they have something to say about his CIA pick. Personally, I’ll be glad when January 20th, 2009 arrives so he could go ahead and finally get into office. The uhaul truck has not even pulled up to the white house yet and he is already bombarded with all of this drama!
Lastly, let’s not forget about this Blagojevich and Burris scenario. Even though Burris himself is not accused of anything but the whole Blagojevich thing is just downright shady! This is a situation where you can’t even trust your own governor! And a governor who has a potty mouth like he came straight out the projects. This whole senate seat drama started because of him and now Burris is probably somewhere taking a bottle of Advil to ease the headache he has from being turned away from the senate floor! All I have to say is that I don’t know what the political world will be like over the next four years but hopefully these politicians will get their act together. But if things are still the same, we might as well just send Sarah Palin, Rev. Wright, and Jesse Jackson to Washington, DC to run things!

Hi Valerie,
Nothing has changed. It is just politics as usual. All of it.
Let me assure you and put you at ease, Obama is no babe in toy land. He will do very well. He has been a politician all his life. Right there in the middle of politicians delight, Chicago.
The only pick that Obama has made to his cabinet that there has been some talk is his most recent one, Panetta. Many of his own party and political allies are throwing stink bombs. Maybe with good reason. Head of CIA is no place for…on the job training!
Your question:
And will the good people of this country be able to trust these ….shady….politicians?
Will you?
In love and peace,

GOOD EVENING and THANK-YOU for the post!!! There are a number of great other posts on this subject recently and recommend you search them out.
….. indeed, we see the world as we are, not as it actually is? I am a "Ronald Reagan Conservative" by choice and feel as though the Republican Party left me, I did not leave it. I have changed my mind about President Elect Obama and am growing increasingly confident that he gets it, understands it and knows what to do with it. The "it" being, the virtuous values and freedom loving principles the founding fathers envisioned and what has been described as the promise of America which, in my view, is more alive and healthier today than yesterday and since Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan had a love affair with the promise of America and with Nancy Reagan, a story for the ages.
SMALL STEPS, IN PRAISE OF SLOW!!! I too am not a fan of throwing money in an attempt to cure an economy due to the risks of debasing the American Dollar. Less may be more this time, HOPE I AM WRONG!!! The American Economy and American's have always have a remarkable ability to transform and re-invent its economy very quickly, albeit consequentially.
KEEPING THE FAITH!!!
BLESSINGS, LOVE and PEACE!!!
