annoyed.

So today there is a new President. sigh. not thrilled with the selection but guess its time to get over it. I just have a hard time understanding why people are so unhappy with the Bush administration. Is life REALLY so bad?? Mine isnt. and I dont have a multimillion dollar home, I dont have 4 cars, I dont have expensive clothes but I also dont scrimp and save money. I have a job, my husband has a job and my kid is happy and healthy. I work and have a job that allows me health insurance. Is this really hard for people to achieve? I completely understand having issues that make it hard for you to find jobs, but then dont live outside your means when you arent working. is that really hard?
I have a hard time understanding or feeling sorry for people that are foreclosing right now due to not being able to afford their homes. has your mortgage changed since you bought the place? Has there been a medical issue that keeps you from being able to afford it? Ok! I get that. But people around here bought homes they couldnt afford and now im supposed to feel bad? hmmmmm I just dont understand this sense of "entitlement' that people seem to live by. What has happened to this generation? YOU ARENT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING! WORK! then maybe you can have nice things. but they shouldnt just be given to you. thats NOT the American Dream. That consists of working your butt off to live nicely.
I just feel that this President was chosen for the wrong reasons. Its not that he is a bad guy. I actually like him as a person. But just cant see WHY people voted for him. Im not posting this for an argument. Just posting my feelings and thoughts. isnt that what a blog is all about.
PS. Im also bitter that my husband is downtown providing security for this thing. Oh and for that matter, in a country that seems to have no money and be in a recession, why are we spending 150 million just for a parade?

i totally agree with you! people think that they are entitled to everything now days. It is really interesting. One lady was asked why she was excited Obama was elected, her answer "because now I dont have to pay my mortgage, or my bills" ..are you serious?
