This is number 3 and 4 in my top ten:
3. The US is drowning in debt
This is frightening.. and I don't want to use this space to spew numbers but just 'Google' the 'Congressional Budget Office'. The CBO projects that the US debt could rise to 87% of GDP by 2020. Do you know what that means... Imagine that your household makes $60,000 a year, and you are in debt for $52,000. Sounds scary to me. Or just check out this link http://www.usdebtclock.org/ I'm not a 'finance' or 'economics' person, but I do know that this country is in serious trouble, and there has been no attempt by either Republicans or Democrats to slow down the spending. This is like the 'crazy Aunt' in the basement.. everyone knows she's there.. but no one wants to talk about her.
4. Obama now fails to inspire
This was his 'calling card' during the campaign. He talked about hope and change and transparency in government. His actions so far have been anything but.. now he reads endlessly from a teleprompter, and if he doesn't, he puts his foot in his mouth. For example, when he stated on Friday that the US Constitution gives all people freedom of religion, and the right to own private property. Ok... hello? I think we would all agree with that, but just because you are free to do something, doesn't mean that it is a responsible or respectable thing to do.
Enough for now, time for bed.
