Depressed Americans View the 60 Day Wonder

Traditional Americans who love their country as it is are aghast at the socialization program that is under way, the unimaginable debt being piled up, and the ineptness and the incompetence of Obama, his staff and his appointees. Perhaps many of us, like me, came from poverty in childhood, and have achieved a standard of living beyond our wildest dreams. What we want most is for our children and our grandchildren (and for legal immigrants) to have the same opportunities and freedoms to succeed (and sometimes to fail) that we had.

Almost all of the people I talk to are dumbfounded at what is going on – and are deeply depressed that there seems to be no way to stop or slow down the vicious program that is under way nor to slow the destruction of our free market system.

“Almost all of the people I talk to are dumbfounded at what is going on”

I can count on one hand the people I talk to that are aware of what is going on. Too many people are more interested in other mindless pursuits and have absolutely no knowledge of how are government is supposed to work and what the criminals in D.C. are doing to us. The government schools have fulfilled their goals.

The truth is that more Americans who are conservative are keeping their views to themselves, talking in whispers. They are fearful of those who are brainwashed.

Depressed is right.

I am a retired person who winters in Florida with other people just like me. Believe me, they know just what is going on.

“I am a retired person who winters in Florida with other people just like me. Believe me, they know just what is going on.”

I am glad to hear that. I made an observation a week or so ago on another thread about seniors buying into Obama’s rhetoric. I was roundly criticized by most Freepers. My observation was only about seniors that I knew.
