Calamity 2, the Sequel

Wall Street had the biggest down-turn, a Tsunami, not seen since 1987, over 504 points today, and it is being compared by most as not being this bad or more nicely said this is considered the biggest reshaping of the market since the Great Depression!
The horror of all this is not just the fact that Lehman Brothers a nearly 150 year old company went belly up due to 613B in debt, and that Merrill Lynch, circa 1914 needed the buyout of 50B from Bank of America to survive, but that AIG, one of the biggest in the global market is struggling, all attributed from the housing crisis, but our President went on the tube today to tell us all again that we are OK, that all this is just a minor adjustment occurring or words of a similar nature. Has he moved to Pluto, I take it he has?
Because he sure isn't living here on earth in the US of A like the rest of us Americans or maybe he is just living in that state we euphemistically …call …the state of DENIAL!!!!
Yep that's it; it’s got to be it.
Heaven help him and all of us, but just 127 more days of this baloney and incompetence, thankfully, January 20, 2009 Inauguration day.
Or... four more years, please almighty or whoever NO, NO, NO I pray to thee to not allow this travesty to occur!!!! NOT FOUR MORE YEARS!
We Americans have the power to make that final beneficial changes that we know will make the biggest difference! Just mark that right location on your ballot on November 4th. Please no hanging chads or other nasty mistakes this is a very close election again, no repeats of the 2000 fiasco!
All I can beg of my co-Americans is to weigh your judgment and read everything you can get your hands on to make that educated decision on Election Day.
We need to be running this country from our voting machines with intellect and deep interest; not with just assuming the big boys and girls know what they are doing…we must guide them and vote accordingly!
If we have nothing else, and many do have nothing left financially… some haven’t even their home… we have our freedom and the capability to vote.

Texas and Louisiana have found more dead from those who did not leave.
Katrina, I thought had taught us all better than anything else why we must evacuate if told to do so.
So sad, this devastation of property is unavoidable and just things, but lives being taken could have been prevented if people just would listen to the authorities.
Another horrible frustration for all of the rest of us to hear that this is what has happened again!

I'm speechless, today was confounding and amazing to me. Mostly in part the way our President has handled these distressing news bites.

Good night to all, and try to find some mindless entertainment on the TV or play a game with the family to divert your attention from these problems and to gain some temporary sanity.
