Obama and America Will Rebuild and Game On

Do you care about the stock market? Do you ever watch Mr. Yeller, er, I mean Jim Cramer?

I care. I do. And I am not worried. Maybe I am too dumb to be worried. It just makes no sense to me. Obama just (we are on familiar terms) just stepped onto the floor to give an address. The applause is loud and unyielding. He is talking about our messed up economy. His red striped tie matches the red stripes behind him on the USA flag.

He is saying that we will overcome our problems. He is on to inspire us. He is good at that. "Now is the time to act boldly," he says. I don't get it all though. A GE light bulb costs more than a share of GE stock. A worker will get an extra $13 a week in their paycheck. Wow, Woo-hoo.

Companies will be held accountable for tax payer money given to them, O K, oh, right, except if they send it to the Caymans or some other place where money can be hidden tax free.

Now, Obama is talking about banks. Diane loans her money TO banks and what do I get? 3% interest. Woo-hoo

I wonder when hand clapping started...why not stomp our feet or pass gas? Who decided? Three women are wearing red. They stand out. Now, Obama is mentioning actions our nation took during other hard times, like building railroads. Energy, health care, education, these are his priorities he says. "It is time for America to lead again," he says. Hmmm, can we get some cures for many of the diseases and chronic illnesses on my blog? Just asking.

"The nation that invented the automobile can not walk away from it," he says. Now, I thought we were supposed to "leave our cars at home," and walk more. OHHH, now he wants to seek a cure for cancer. I'm listening..."...health care reform must not wait another year."

On to education: He is making a promise to allow a good education to everyone. Hmmm, here in Seattle the news is about cutting school to 4 days a week. Maybe we didn't get the memo.
By 2010 he wants us to have the highest rate of high school grads in the world. Two words: teen pregnancy. We must have sex ed in middle school, bananas included. Ah, he is mentioning Iraq and the money we waste there.

Ha ha ha, no more shipping our jobs overseas and getting a tax break, some guy in audience rolled his eyes.

His hands are so comforting-looking. McCain just stood as Obama said he will end the war in Iraq. The hour is almost up. He gives kudos to our troops as the audience stands and turns their applause to a group of uniformed personnel in the room.

"The United States of America does not torture," he states firmly.

Diane will buy some stocks tomorrow. Our best days are ahead of us. The First Lady is wearing a purple, simple dress, on a very complex body.
