It's been a while

I haven't posted in a long time because...
I've been lazy
I'd lost hope that Obama was really going to bring change
I was discouraged by some peoples idiocy
& I've been lazy

Well at least I'm not making excuses.

For those who give a dam, Health Care Reform (HRC) passed yesterday late into the afternoon of Sunday. I watched, hoped, and when the vote came up I prayed to God that it would pass while at the same time thinking " I bet there are some idiots praying for this bill not to pass." I watched as the ticker slowly inched it's way up to 216 cursing at how dramatically slow it was going. Then when that magic number was reached waves of relief and happiness washed over me; in fact I haven't been that happy since Obama was elected.

As I said before I had lost hope that Obama was going to deliver on his promise of change but last night restocked the fires of hope in my burning hart. Now that Obama has passed HCR I look forward to the future and see green jobs, green energy, banking & business regulation, and most importantly I see a better future for America.

Unfortunately I also know that the republicans and their elitist puppeteers will fight just as hard if not harder to keep the little man in his place. Propagandists like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck will continue to rile up the uneducated and misinformed to fight against their own best interests. Lastly these poor uneducated and misinformed people will continue to call Obama names like socialist, dictator, lier, and nigger all the while Obama does his best to help them.

What a crazy world we live in, Oh and did I forget to mention the millions of other people out there who don't care enough to even have an opinion, wait I just did.

Anyway Congratulations America and thank you Obama for showing me that the good guys can win every once in a while.
