Regrets

"Regrets I've had a few/but then again too few to mention I did what I had to do" – Frank Sinatra

  I think one of the keys to happiness (other than catching three waves a day) is to live life without regret. If you believe in fate, that there is a master plan, as I do, I guess this makes it easier. This is the only explanation I have for how an inexperienced Senator from Chicago came to be leader of the free world. Likewise this would provide an answer as to how a collection of greedy, incompetent, brain dead individuals was somehow elected to Congress. Since most of these mental midgets are personally mortgaged to the hilt, I guess they don't care if the United States follows suit and defaults on its obligations.  Obligations not just to its creditors but to each and everyone of us who will again be left holding the bag.   As the deadline nears I grow increasingly confident that this President and Congress are uniquely qualified (or unqualified) to F this up big time.

  Of course even with our destinies predetermined we still have free will. This is how President O so bad for me and my mama pissed away the opportunity of a lifetime. When elected the entire country was behind him.  However, his continued bail out of Wall Street, his failure to end two meaningless wars and his kowtowing to the wealthy not only broke every promise he made; it also cost him the support of an electorate who naively believed he was somehow different.

  A Marine General put it best, "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" But Obama doesn't have the stones to put the squeeze on anyone.  The end result will be higher taxes, fees, insurance premiums, interest rates and gas prices for you and I and bigger profits and more money for the wealthy.

Personally, I share Ryan Bingham's philosophy, "If I ever get home I'm never gonna worry about things I could have done, Cause I've done a lot of things I could have done better, but now it don't matter none."

That being said I do have one regret, believing that the Senator from Chicago would even try to make a difference.
