The State of the Union


Nope, didn’t see it yet but did see the posts on Facebook. So here is what I have to say about that.
I wish we could reason with Americans who blame Obama for the world coming to an end while they seem to forget any part about how their candidates helped to put us in this situation, though on the other hand blame Obama for not doing enough. They easily can forgive Newt's not so perfect marriages as he touts Family Values and call anyone who doesn’t agree with them “un American or un Christian”. We all want to hear what makes us feel good, but it is time to stop the fighting in circles because we are all on this sinking ship like it or not. The problem ought to be the Corporations/Banks buying elections as they are seen as “People”; couldn’t both sides at least agree on this?
Stop blaming the poor for being poor. Imagine what it would be like living in a country with really poor people who have no help, imagine if you could understand that it is for this reason ALL Americans can Dream & have Hope (if they choose). It would almost be impossible for someone living in a poor state (not neighborhood) in Brasil to become a lawyer. America is the greatest experiment in Democracy and it is our job to protect it together, it was a gift! The ideas that built this country are still alive though no doubt being abused. When did you stop believing in a helping hand? This is the SPIRIT that makes us unique. I learned this living in a foreign Country.

I would love to see you be thankful for what makes us ALL Americans, be it artists, scientists, Construction workers, Govt/State employees, the top 1%, the welfare recipients, Actors/Musicians/Athletes, immigrants and most of all (in a nutshell) YOU…The MIDDLE CLASS.
