Sheet fire, Saws... Why not go back to stuff I wrote in the 60's, man??? I mean, you are graspin' at straws here taking stuff outta the entire contexts of stuff that was written 5 years ago under different circumstances... I was beginning to think that maybe Joe Offer had sent you off to Betty Ford to get over yer addiction to me but...

...guess not... Either that or Betty Ford didn't stick with ya'...

No matter, Saws, you are obsessed and so, hey, I guess I should be flattered... I mean, if you were some nice 50s-ish women folk singer then maybe but having you obsessed with me??? Don't do much for me...

Now for everyone else... You know, the folks who have a life and aren't obseessed with me let me pose this question:

Is the United Sates on it's way down???? And if so, is there really anything that Obama can do to change that???

I mean, lets just take our situation and give it a good shakin' to get the dust off it... We are part of a global economy... We consume way too much of the percentage of it's products and resources... We are bogged down in one war after another... Our working class is going backwards... Our poverty rates are increaing... Our corporations are so invested in off shore tax loopholes and off ashore production that they hardly look like American corporations... We have 5% of our population controlling 80% of the wealth... I mean, the list goes on and on...

So, regardless of Obama, can the US survive itself??? That is the real question... Maybe I'll come around tomorrow night and start a thread on that topic alone... It's not fair to put this all on Obama... He's more like the the guy who runs the last leg in a relay race and the other bozos have so stunk up the joint that no matter what he does it won't be enough...
