Bailing out WHO?

My solution to the "bailout" that "they" are saying we need is to yeah, go ahead, get $700 billion, but don't buy the bad debt from the BANKS, who created the situation in the first place. Buy the bad debt from the DEBTORS. Save them from the bankers that gave them mortgages that they knew these people couldn't afford. They led them down a rosy path that the consumer soon found was full of thorns.

And then let the banks fall where they may. It is down here in the trenches that keeps this country moving. Not the fat cats with all the money.

Tell the FAT CATS that they have to go on a diet. Just like we, the people, have to do.

I am tired of their talk. I am tired of politics blaming the other guy. What a bunch of buffoons.

Today's Rant

I just don't get it. If they can make hybrid cars, why isn't that the only cars they make? Why bother with the gasoline only cars? Only make hybrids and everyone who buys a new car HAS to buy a hybrid. And DUH! sooner or later, everyone will be driving a HYBRID car!!!!

And if Clorox is making all these GREEN products, why not only make the GREEN products? Again, DUH.......if that is all you make, then that is all there is to buy. How hard is that?

That just makes me want to rant all day long.

Why...In My Room

The reason the blog is named "In My Room" is that it seems I have always been in my room. As a teenager, I spent so much time just being in my room. I love being alone in my room. And I am still in my room. And now it is even better. I have all the "things" I want around me in my room. And I love my room. Just as I did when I was a teenager. Only back then, I could put posters up on the wall or paint the wall whatever way I wanted. But my teenage room was my favorite color....lilac. Now it is a sort of white blue silver rag/sponge color. My paints, my sewing machine, some of my books and lots of my artwork are everywhere.

And it isn't messy......I know where everything is. It is a CREATIVE space.

Debates

I watched, with great interest, the first Presidential Debate. I am biased, I will admit. I love Obama. I think he is articulate, professional, and LOOKS like a President. I am not fond of John McCain at all. I respect what he has given for his country in a war that we didn't win. But to me, he represents the Old Guard in Washington.

As evidenced by the conditions in this country, the most serious conditions, we need new blood. We desperately need a new vision. We need a new direction. McCain will only give us more of the same. I can see that in what he says.

I was also put off by his refusal to look at Senator Obama. And for his condesending grins at inappropriate times. He isn't funny and he shouldn't try to be. It comes off bad and childish. He created no confidence in me whatsoever in anything he said. He, frankly, scares me. And what was with all the I, I, I he kept dwelling on. No, this isn't the man to lead this country.

Obama is. He is so well spoken and is totally grasping the pain down here in the middle and lower class. Although it does trouble me that neither speaks to the lower classes. The ones that are suffering the very most. McCain wants to freeze spending on EVERYTHING while giving out $700 billion that we have to BORROW to bail out the bad guys. Since when do we reward bad behavior? OH I forgot.....that is the Old Guard in Washington. This country needs Obama. We need Obama.

I clearly think Senator Obama made the best showing last night.

On the other hand, I think both candidates should have picked better running mates. Senator Biden, although I believe he has a right to say what he feels, is sometimes putting the foot in the mouth. Sarah Palin, however, talks to interviewers like she is talking to the PTA. Not the "maverick" I want as second in command. I am extremely anxious to see her debate Senator Biden.

We don't need "mavericks" in the White House. We need sensible leadership. And for that, we need to choose Obama.
