Jun 2012

have a longer time looking in the "rear view mirror" and we aren't happy with what's been going on. Which I tried to tell you...

There isn't ANYONE out there now that I would trust. Neither Obama nor Romney nor others.

We aren't at the point where someone who really "gets it" about the American People and what they've (We've) been dragged through with this Globilized Monetary, Globilized War and Globilized Jobs Situtation can be elected. If such a bold person who has vision...even exists at this point.

I was just saying...we need to keep looking. Whoever we vote for in 2012...will be mostly the same. And, we will lose ground with either of the candidates. Whether it's faster with Romney and slower with Obama... What's the difference when it comes down to their campaign rhetoric and their track record. That's why I'm trying to say.
