My VIew of The Inaug .....

So..today is inauguration day in Washington, DC. The town is filled with those who are delighted with the re-election of this president. While many across this great country haven't even bothered to tune in. They care but are disgruntled and totally defeated by this event. It is understandable. As is the case in most elections....this one was bitter. The country seems undeniably divided. There are those who are tired of supporting large numbers of people who have made poor choices and gotten themselves and many little children (who didn't ask for this) into dire straits and cannot provide for their well-being. There are many who have not contributed one penny (or very few) draining the tills of entitlements pushing states and the federal government further into debt trying to keep funds in these programs. We are told many on these rolls are not even citizens of the United States. However, one must acknowledge that this is not the only problem facing this nation.

We seem to lack the great voice that can unite the spirits of politicians to help them see the need of working together to solve problems this nation faces. It is very disturbing especially when we constantly hear that the real reason the parties do not want to work together stems from the knowledge that they will not be re-elected if they vote for more taxes which supply more dollars for that which I have just discussed above.

Our country was thrown into a truly serious recession by ruthless financial practices in many venues. As folks lost their jobs and were sent into a downward spiral financial institutions were failing right and left. Folks could not pay their sizable debts. As business and government fought hard to climb out of this hole disagreements on how to manage this situation have been fiery. The current president inherited the problem. Many have not agreed with his course of correction. Another candidate with considerable financial knowledge and experience was offered by the opposite party. He was, however, rejected by the electorate.

Why was this president re-elected? One can only speculate at this point. My personal beliefs at this point are as follows:

1. Democrats were successful in their efforts to make Romney un-appealing for his
personality, his religion, lack of being a political insider, his personal wealth,
his success with business, and many other issues.
2. Romney's own party was less than supportive for many of the same reasons listed in
# 1.
3. Democrats were terrified that they would lose the entitlements to which they have
become so comfortable and accustomed. Thus, they rallied and drug their supporters
to the polls.

So there you have it folks, my opinion or just some of it on today's big event. You can like it or not ~~~ I don't really care. I think I am correct or at least partially so.
