As we've all followed the trail over the last months there are many things to reflect upon, but none more significant than what today will bring. Obama's election has electrified millions of people with the hopes that America will become more embracing and more open to change. Today begins a new day for the people of our great country.
There shall be no easy tasks for this administration with the challenges that lay ahead. More importantly is the need to put down our differences and throw our support behind this President and his administration and pray for new beginnings for a better tomorrow.

I know the blog is slow right now, but this is a topic that is truly hitting home with many.

What are your thoughts on the economy, what if any changes have you made, and are all these bail outs the answer?

I for one am absolutely stunned by an article that I just read regarding the newest bail out funds for the Auto Industry.

"General Motors to Invest $1 Billion in Brazil Operations -- Money to Come from U.S. Rescue Program"

How is Barack Obama doing so far??

In this poll you can select more than one answer and the answers will appear in random order each time you view the page.

Count Down To Election 08

Sound Off - Taxes, Federal Government, Elections - Continued ( III)

With just days until the Presidential election I thought we needed one last post.

The earlier posts combined received almost 500 comments. They have been rather "spirited" at times but everyone has done a great job in staying on topic. I 've learned so much over the past months and hope everyone has done the same by doing their homework before going to the polls. I have truly enjoyed being a part of the previous posts and thank everyone for their participation, especially Prometheus and Daniel.

Regardless of who the winner may be it is important that this country unite as one and support our next President of the United States as this country has a very long and winding road ahead.

Here's your spot to speak your thoughts on these topics, it has been getting rather heated in other areas and felt perhaps this needed it's own space.

I will keep this topic rolling toward the top of the page as long as there are comments being made. Please remember foul language/and personal attacks will not be permitted, now play fair and go for it!.

Democratic Primary

| 29 Comments

I haven't seen any discussion about the ongoing Presidential Primary within the Democratic Party. I don't want to start a war here, but I'm curious to know what others in our town think of this fiasco.

First, is there anyone out there who thinks it would be fair bar the delegates from Michigan and Florida from the National Convention? Personally, I think the DNC should be flogged for allowing such a flawed primary process to exist in the first place. How in the world do you disenfranchise (There's that word again) that many voters, especially in such critical states.
