A Lot to Think About ...

We live in weird and troubling times ...

Yes we do. I really can't explain it. But if you just see, you will now what I mean.

I'm not talking just about politics and Obama's European overnight trip. I'm just not talking about the village idiot, Glenn Beck. I am talking about the world in general.

Even though Chicago did not get the privilege to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, you must give Obama credit to try to pitch his HOMETOWN to get the games. Now Obama is getting flack from the right for going in the first place. Since when has the politically right think it's cool to be un-patriotic to support a Olympic city plan? What ever happened to COUNTRY FIRST?? Humm??

I do think just a tad that President Obama is taking a little much on his plate than he should. But, let's remember three very important points ... 1) The former President, G.W. Bush left this country in such a mess that Obama has to clean it up, immediately. 2) Historically, it takes about a good year to year and a half before the current Presidents ideals and plans come to play. So, that makes me think that all of this arguing that Obama is turning this country into a Socialist nation is just rubbish. The political right are acting like a bratty teenager and they just need to grow up. And 3) Let's remember that if the stimulus package DID NOT go through, that the job losses would have been over 2 times worse than what happened.

Now, as for Glenn Beck ... the village idiot. I am glad that the mainstream political pundits are starting to describe him as a crazy person. Because, in reality that is what Beck is. It really scares me to think that even though he lost over 50 advertisers, he still gets big ratings on FOX News. It boggles my mind. I have no idea what to think.

It also troubles me that Comcast is actively looking into buying NBC/Universal from GE. I have written on here before that I don't trust Comcast. I always believed that they were too big as a corporation and if they get control of NBC/Universal, my fears will become ever more true. How big is to big? When Comcast looks at that question, they don't think anything. It's scary.

Again, a lot troubles me. I hope you feel the same way.
