President Obama's speech on Thursday did not offer much new information and plan on anything. The one new thing that he brought forward was a call for Israel to go back to the 67 lines with Palestine. Aside from the fact that the Jewish state would not be able to defend itself, I think that it is absurd for the United States to tell another country how they should handle a situation and calling them to give up the land that they had fought for over many years. After all the US did take the Indians land and have never thought to give it back. Yeah there are reservations but that's not giving their land back that's just telling the Indians where the can live. Then Friday the Israeli Prime Minister is at the White House and makes the Obama look like a complete idiot (as he should have done) on International TV. That meeting was comical to watch. The United States needs to stay out of the Middle East. Who cares if they want to kill each other indefinitely? Let them! We should focus our money on defense instead of offense. THe government should commit more resources to protecting citizens at home by spending the trillions that we have spent on fighting the Mid Easts wars on protecting the border and crime prevention inside the country. We can keep the people out that do not belong here if the resources were made used properly.

Secondly, I have not heard Obama say much on the flooding along the Mississippi. IS this his Katrina? President Bush was critized for showing up a few days late after Hurricane Katrina, but Obama has not been to the flooded areas yet even though he knew this was coming days in advance. It seems like our government has lost track of what they need to be doing. They are worried more about the Middle East and how others view America, instead of how America views America. Americans need their government to preform right now to help pull us out of the slump that we are currently in. It seems as though Obama wants to focus on the Middle East instead of the economy and the American peoples pocketbooks. If we took all the money spent on the Middle East over the past ten years, from troops, to aid, to bullets and bombs, and instead of wasting it on the Arab world, and handed it out to every American citizen then we would be the wealthiest country once again. I have not done the math, but I would say with confidence that every person young and old would be at least $1 million richer than we are today. That would fix the economy. However this will not happen because then how is the government suppose to control the people as they are doing now?

The debt just keeps on growing for the government and isn't going to slow down anytime soon. Who's is getting the bill? Why the American taxpayer of course. It's like a dad giving his baby girl his credit card and her running up a huge bill and then saying its ok, daddy will pay for it. Well it is time that we took the card away from our daughter and punish her. Her being the government. Im calling for the government to be overhauled, but not by those in the government because they are the ones creating this mess. As the American people it is our right and our duty to take back our government. We need to get it under our control again. Im not saying lets take to the streets and start riots. We are civilized enough to do it peacefully. Simple do not vote for the fat cats anymore. Listen to what the people our saying before you just decide I am democrat or republican. THen if they do not do as they promised you on the campaign hold them accountable call for a change, whether its election time or not. We can no longer afford to sit back and let them get away with these crimes. They are stealing our money legally but only because we allow them to. I believe everyone should stop paying and filing for taxes. They already take our money out of our paychecks off the top. That means most of your work is for the government not for your family. If I have to be accountably for my own debt, then I say let the government be accountable and pay for their own as well.

In other news, Iran arrest 30 alleged US spies. Not much has come out on this story just yet, but it will be interesting to see how these men are handled. Now how does the hikers that went into Iran look. The look a little it more guilty, do't they. Im not saying they are but you have to understand Iran's suspicion now. The United States would do the same thing if they found spies to be working in our country and eventually they would be sentenced to either life in prison or death. I hope that this does not happen to the men that were arrested in Iran, but if it does I would understand the actions because we would do the same. Im not saying I want that to happen to Americans but I would have to understand the actions taken by that country. I am curious to see if that will escalate into another war in the Middle East because we can not afford that to happen. I hope that they all escape home safely.

THe doomsday that Camping has said will happen, has not once again happened. Remember '94. I think this is all a big scam. This man made $18 million a few years back using this message, but you can't fault him for making a buck. It is the people that gave him the money that I find to be the biggest jokes out there. Im going to start saying the world will end at the start of the year next year. maybe I'll make $1 million, I would be ok with that and I wouldn't care what anyone said about me, so what if I am wrong. My pockets would be full. Haha! I say all the more power to the man, it was a good business startegy, so what if the man looks like hes already dead he is one rich person living the dream. My question is, Is he as nutty as the people that listen and gave their money to him?

The Republican field has a lot of good candidates in it so far. I'm interested in what Hermain Cain has to say and will be watching him closely, however it is way to early to say who is the favorite, whos is going to win, or who I personally favor because not enough has come out on them quite yet.
