Obamas' First 100 Days

Well Obama has His first 100 days just about under His belt, and I'd say He's doing a pretty good job. But then all you really have to do to show improvement over Bush is basically have a pulse.

Thank you Barrack for starting to let the world know that we are not going to be the stubborn, arrogant pricks that Bush made us out to be for the last 8 years. The attitude of "We're the best and We don't care what you think" really starts to take it's toll on the world view of us after awhile.

Shame on you Barrack for bailing out every business that doesn't make a buck at taxpayer expense. This world is all about supply and demand, and that goes for cars, banks, and insurance companies. Look back in history and you will see some sad days where major, MAJOR, companies folded up because there was no demand for them anymore. But as one company dies, new ones take over and the cycle of life continues. First of all, it's stupid to revive the life of a company that doesn't have the demand it used to, second of all, it's even MORE stupid to ask the taxpayers to pay for it!

I know there is a lot more things that He's done for the good, and some for the bad, but I really don't keep up on the news that much, so I just pointed out two of them. I'm lucky if I click on a news site once a day, and I don't bother watching TV.

I'd say all in all our new President is doing what the American People want Him to be doing, and that's the important thing. I personally think that anyone who desires to be President of America needs to have their head examined, but that's just My opinion. Who the hell would want the massive headaches of that job, for under 1/2 a million bucks a year? NOT ME!!

----------------

I do have a couple of hinters for Obama to help keep the administration on track in the right direction. They are as follows:

1. A suicide financial help line : If you feeling suicidal about the financial mess you got yourself into, the government should set up a hot line number that you could call. Upon calling, the government would send out a 'loaner' gun for you and yours to solve your problems.

2. Make ALL religions start paying taxes!! Can you imagine how much money would be generated if EVERY huge church out there had to start paying property taxes alone!!!?? Think about it!! Look at your personal property and how much YOU pay .. then drive down to your closest church and look at the size of that property! We would definitely start taking a bite out of the deficit if churches were forced to pay taxes like everyone else!

3. Raise taxes!! I hate to say it, but raise the taxes for awhile! We're in 2 wars and have a deficit bigger than anyone can imagine! How the hell can you pay it off without a little pain?? You can't keep printing money from thin air! Stop giving us stimulus refunds and raise the damn taxes for awhile!

4. Bring the troops home. Nooooo .. not the ones in Iraq .. EVERYWHERE!!! Bring every damn troop home. Let the rest of the world worry about the rest of the world. Stop being the damn world police. Chances are all them crazy middle easterners will wipe themselves out all together. And take Israel with them!!! That's right, I hate to say it but that damn country has been a bigger problem than any other in the world. All because of religion!! If someone takes out Israel .. so be it!! Besides, I guess Jesus will come that day so we can finally see if I'm right or wrong!!

------------

Well I'm getting worked up again and it's getting a little long so I'll stop, but I had to force Myself!! Now if you'll excuse Me, I need to worry about the only thing I'm suppose to be worried about .. and that is a little patch of land called the 'State Of Les'.

Todays RBV: Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

As you know, God killed EVERYONE but Noah and His family because Noah was a 'just man and perfect'. Hmmmmmmmm I recall reading about Noah who got so drunk that He was dancing naked in front of His family one night. Today if you did that, social services would be at your door the next day.

The First 100 Days.

I'm sure you've all seen the headline "The first 100 days", which of course is referring to Obama's presidency. I'm not even going to go into the argument of how well He's doing or not as that's a huge political debate in and of itself.

You may or may not have also realized by my counter to the right of the screen that I have not worked for the 'man' in 100 days. So I would like to observe and critique Myself on what has been accomplished in My "First 100 Days."

- November 29th 2008 - Last day working for the 'man'.

- December 2008 - Both the wife and I did not work and dedicated the whole month to the Holiday season. Gift buying, decorating, baking, snow fort building, holiday music, friends, big festive dinners, hanging with the kids, and on and on. It was awesome ... definitely the best December I've ever had.

- January 2009 - The month of challenge. Cutting down and harvesting a tree by hand in 3 feet of snow. Eating all natural for 30 days straight. Not leaving My property for 30 days. Not shaving, which still continues today. Committing to living UNDER poverty levels for the sake of saying it CAN be done and still live a comfortable life, also it voids Me of paying federal taxes to help out an already bankrupt government. Becoming a stay-at-home Dad.

- February 2009 - This month I've been accused of not accomplishing a lot. I would argue the opposite, saying that not ALL things can be measured in tangible ways. This month I did a MASSIVE amount of studying about the existence of a God, how evolution really works, what we know about the universe and such. I watched a butt load of debates, looked up lots of articles, and researched a lot of opinions on these subjects and I now feel I can make a educated, rational, intelligent guess on the big questions in life. I feel that we, as Americans, are generally pretty stubborn in our ways of thinking, no matter how much the evidence may say it's wrong. Basically I feel I've gained more knowledge in one month than I have My entire life by just digging into the facts and getting educated on them. So it is true that there is no massive project that I erected this month to show what I did, I am very happy to say that I expanded this thing called a brain into understanding some of the big questions in life.

- March 2009 - Enough of the winter crap!!! We still have endless amounts of snow, it's STILL colder than crap, but I KNOW it has to warm up and start melting any day now. And with that, the projects have begun ... see tomorrows blog.

And for all the people I've bumped into and shared my 'master plan' with and you've either said:

1. Ohhhh .. you must be on food stamps, heating assistance, blah blah blah.

NO!!!! I'M NOT ON ANY OF THEM - NOR WILL I EVER BE!!!

2. Yeah, it's just a matter of time before your savings run out and your back to work like the rest of us.

NO!!!! This is NOT about draining the savings to ride the wave for a year. This is about a change of life!! In fact (without going into details) it's been just over 3 months, and My savings balance the day I quit (November 29th 2008), is within $100.00 of what it is today!!! So kiss my big, white, hairy, dimpled butt cheeks!!!

So all in all, I'm thrilled to say that I have NOT worked for 'the man' in 100 days. This has been probably the best 100 days of My pathetic little life. Just to 'buck the system' and go off in My own direction and try something strange and obscure is awesome! To NOT be caught up in the everyday B.S. that the rest of the world has to deal with is priceless. To be with the kids and help shape their lives as they grow up is also something that can't be measured. And if all this were not enough, I have a wife who LOVES Her job!! Not only loves Her job, but also loves the fact that I'm pursuing this 'against the grain' style of living!!! The pursuit of growing our own food, becoming self sufficient, and turning back the hands of time to a simpler, less hectic lifestyle where the everyday stress that most of America has to deal with is simply a thing of the past.

Bottom line is, if My first 100 days is all a dream ... don't pinch Me, cause I don't wanna wake up!

Todays RBV: Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

I believe this verse is talking directly about Me! I'm sorry that the Bible feels this way, but I'm sorry to admit when you open your brain and leave the 'fear tactics' out of your emotions, you do indeed come to a conclusion different than what the Bible has to say.
