Obama Blames

Not saying that OBAMA hasnt done his fair share in mistakes,but dont anyone else see that he inherited some screw ups? We the people are just as bad as the ones that are in Washington,blaming one party more then the other.There is enough blame to share.

Yeap Obama inherited a lot but we got the sh*t end of the deal we now have him for President and he now has added a few screw ups of his own to the mess.

When George Bush Jr. was in office, I certainly joined alot of people in taking pot shots at him. Was embarrassed to call him a fellow baby boomer and a representative of my generation. Still feel that way about the man. I think he's a silver spoon failure. Obama has his issues too. The man has alot wrong with his thinking just like Bush. Not so sure it would have been any better if McCain and Palin were in there either. Didn't see anything dynamic coming from them either. Just think "we the people" don't have anyone, in either party, that can deliver on what all of us really need for this country. Don't think either party wants to provide "we the people" with decent honest representation. And, I don't think a third party would survive the beast that is Washington. Too corrupt, too many lobbyists and politicians with special agendas designed to screw the American people and too engrained in boys club backslapping for too many years to bust up. We keep putting garbage in place to do the country's business because there is no other choices. Where do we start to break up the crap that goes on in our city, state and federal governments? Can't do it by electing decent people.(if we can find decent people to run for office) They soon become as bad as the ones we just got rid of. Whatta we do and how do we maintain it if we do find a solution?

VietVet,

Perhaps I can humbly offer one suggestion.

I realize that you do not live in Ward One, but certainly you know people that do live in Ward One.  You and I have met, and spoken at length.  You know me and you know where I stand.  I have made over 2,200 posts here on MiddletownUSA and several hundred more on the now defunct Middletown Journal blogs prior to their demise, all using my real name.  I have spoken before City Council, and at various public meetings many times.  Therefore, I have a record of where I stand and what I have said.  People can look it up if they care to do so.

The only times that I have “changed” have been when I have discovered new information on the subject under discussion, or someone has made a compelling argument that has swayed my stance.  But isn't "change" like that a GOOD thing???

Perhaps the answer to the dilemma you posed above is as simple as talking to everyone that you know in the First Ward who is 18 or over (or will be by election day) and convincing them to VOTE FOR MIKE PRESTA FOR CITY COUNCIL in the First Ward!  This won't solve everything, but it would be a step in the right direction.  Granted, a small step, but a step nonetheless.

If they are not registered to vote, encourage them to register!!!

Remember in November:  THEY’LL LIKE MIKE!

Bocephus,

Thank you!!!  Your votes will be appreciated.  I will do my very best to justify your confidence, both during the campaign and, if elected, during my two-year term.

I hope that you will find the time, the opportunity, and the motivation to urge your neighbors and your friends in the First Ward all to:

Remember in November:  THEY’LL LIKE MIKE!
