Disgusting
There is much to be said by a lot of people regarding the current state of the Union; and more than ever that lot of people is taking advantage of the digital podium. I’m not going to get too carried away here though. This dollar bill was ripped a long time ago for a reason not remotely politically related, but when I stumbled across it in a book I had I thought it might make a great symbolic photo. It could represent the current weakening state of the dollar and the economy. But I’d like to go a little past that.
“Before a crowd of several hundred union members in Reno, Nevada, Obama said the American economy was a disaster and blamed “John McCain’s president, George W. Bush.†Article Link
I’ll try not to get too accusatory and just stick with my general observation of this comment. I think it’s sick, I think it’s divisive, I think it’s as unpatriotic as a citizen can get. Thankfully, I don’t think Obama is going to win, but I’m afraid of what he’ll do when he loses. I fear he’ll carry this divisive rhetoric past the election and continue to propagate his hate. He speaks of Hope, and Unity, and Change but all the while he subtly, hypocritically works in exactly the opposite. He is uniting people for sure, but not for the cause they’re expecting. What will he do with all his supporters when he doesn’t gain the Presidency; I don’t think he’ll stop. That scares me. History has a tendency to repeat itself, and a situation like this has happened before. Just a thought, nothing more.
