What do you think about this statement?

"We did not vote to change the Republic,we voted to change Washington. We wanted the lies,corruption and childish "but they started it" games to end. Instead we now see that things have only gotten worse and that the "change" the political elite think we wanted was the transition to a system based on entitlements and handouts. It is insult upon injury and a testament to just how out of touch with the common man our two parties have become."

I will agree with you that the two parties do not represent us. They act like it is a competiion between each other. Also the power is supposed to be in the senate and the congress but they have let the president take the power. I am not talking about the present but this has gone back some time. The senate and the congress is supposed to make and create the laws and the executive branch is supposed to the one that puts the laws into play. In other words the senate and congress are the power but they do not execersize it. A democrat will get elected with maybe 51% of the vote he will try to abide to the will of the ones that elected him and forget the other 49%. And the same thing with a Republican getting elected. I voted for Ross Perot the time he run, I figured if he was elected then he could do no more harm than the ones running against him. Also if he was elected it should send a message to Washington to shape up and represent the people or you might be out of there. I thought the same thing about Obama maybe a little shock value on Washington. My wife went to a meeting that two doctors had set up and were to speak. She said I am hoping that some of our elected officials are there and I get to talk. She wanted to say to the elected officials, I here that the government cannot run anything, we elected you and you are our government, now if you cannot run it then get out of the way and let someone else have the job that can.

On entilements and handouts we all should think when some program comes out that we can get a little money from, such as fencing, water, systems, workings pens better bulls and pasture improvement etc and on these things we should search our souls and think can I provide this for my self. Do I need it or not. Or should we say if I do not get in line and take it they will give it to someone else. We should all think about this at our level in the nation and let these things start at home.

Do you think the US voted for change in how Washington operates but didn't get it. At least not for the better?

I think we need a little more time. I think there were a lot of voters who found their voices that felt they were left out in other elections. I think they felt they were not represented in Washington and were voting for someone that would represent them, did they get what they wanted I think the jury is still out on this. Some things that happened such as the investments in car companies banks will pay off in the long run and may be a lot quicker than envisioned. AIG and Citi two that had to get help from the government have been doing pretty well the last few days as far as the stock going up against a down market. Will it last I can not answer that if I knew the that answer I would sell the farm and invest it all.

How did this change with the tax cheats appointed to high posts. and the president saying "I won I can do what I want"?
