1-20-09 What goes round......


History does indeed repeat itself.

Several years ago when Nixon lied to us, his achievements went unnoticed because of Watergate. The country wanted someone WE could trust so WE elected Carter. He was a fine Christian man who wore sweaters and talked softly. The economy tanked and Iran held Americans as captives. Inflation was about 18%. We had made a mistake. It did not make sense though, because the Senate and the House were controlled by Democrats (same as Carter)! As a result of that experience WE took a chance and elected Reagan who had no world experience but gave great speeches. He was a great president.

A few years ago when Clinton lied to us, his achievements went unnoticed because of Monica. The Country wanted someone WE could trust so we elected George W Bush. he was a fine Christian man who wore jeans and talked like us. The economy tanked and Iraq has held us hostage. Recession has set in. We made a mistake. It did not make sense though because the Senate and the House were controlled by Republicans (same as Bush)! As a result of that experience WE took a chance and elected Obama who had no world experience but gave great speeches.

Here is hoping that he is a great president.
