Once again Mr. Jim Crawford is writing about something he wishes were right. However, he again is so wrong I wonder when he will get his head out of the sand.

Again, he isn’t keeping up with the times as we, the people, are tired of the direction that this country is being taken and here’s just a sample.

First, we can no longer drill for oil in the Gulf Of Mexico but our president is willing to loan Mexico money to drill there. Cuba is drilling there now, too.

Oh, it’s too dangerous for us but our illustrious leader knows that they will drill better than we will — with money we loan them.

Yes, the “Tea Party movement” is telling the Republicans who act like Democrats, “no we will no longer elect you if you aren’t going to do what the people tell you they want.”

Mr. Crawford will see the death of these Republcans in November, when the people, “all that want this country to succeed” express their opinion at the ballot box.

Then you can cry and tell us what a mistake we made. That is if there is any country left after the Democrats spend us into oblivion.

Mr. Crawford said there will be poorly qualified people in office.

Well, just what has the present president given us but more debt, more lies, less hope and more unemployment?

Just when will this president start to take credit for his failures?

Yes, he inherited a deficit but, instead of trying to correct it, he has just added more debt. He has spent like a drunken sailor (which I used to be) with no thought for tomorrow.

Remember, money doesn’t grow on trees. So just wait and watch what happens in November.
