DO YOU KNOW?A year ago I was anxiously watching the campaigns of both presidential candidates. Wary of both I went from side to side, listening intently to the pundits, the speeches and all the politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Today, I don’t believe John McCain would be a better president than President Obama but then I don’t think he would be worse either.

I’ve learned listening solely to the media will give you a very one-sided view regardless of what they claim. Partisanship is rampa… Continue

WHAT DESCRIBES YOU?

Listen to Obama speak. He denies all stats that point toward his programs not working and insists, no matter what the cost, that we must overhaul Healthcare and Energy! He sounds like the Iranian president who has blinders on to what the world is saying about him. Making it up as he goes along! There is nothing short of a revolution to get this man's attention. Him and his cronies, particularly Pelosi, are desperately trying to control our country. Just look what has happened to California...oh,… Continue
