Is anyone sick and tired of all the crooked wall street executives and washington politicians .?

You know American taxpayers the the lawmakers of DC are the ones that get the automatic $4,700 raise, while the rest of your money $700 billion is going down tubes on defunct automakers and CEO bonuses on wall street....All the while people are losing their homes and jobs can't figure out how to feed and clothe their children. Well here comes

my "U N C L E"! I've had enough has anyone else had enough?

Update:

Bush's 'war on terror' comes to a sudden end

Obama signals that America's reach in battling enemies will not be limitless

With the stroke of his pen, he effectively declared an end to the "war on terror,"

Yes folks now we must get ready to let security down in the US so that Obama friends the radical Muslims can come back and finish where they left off after 9/11

Update 2:

email I sent

Dear Congress and Represenatives of Missouri,It is apparent that the congressional lawmakers have decided the American taxpayer hasn't cried uncle long enough so now it's up to us to to tell you how we feel about that $4700 pay raise that you have voted to give yourselves and to remind you that WE are the People NOT YOU! We are the government NOT YOU! Please reconsider your raise under the gloomy circumstances that has engulfed our country where people are jobless and becoming homeless all over the country. Most of us feel the country cannot afford this raise and that YOU don't deserve it.

(You're failing your job)

    HELLO THERE GRANNY....AND THANKS FOR CONTACTING ME AND GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. AND THE ANSWER IS: HELL YESSSSS!!!!!!

    AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT HASN'T QUITE COME TO AN END YET, CUZ THERE STILL SAYIN THAT PEOPLE WILL STILL BE LOSING THERE HOUSES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE YEAR--THAT'S PRETTY SAD! AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WERE GONNA SEE PEOPLE STOP LOSING THERE JOBS ANYTIME SOON EITHER. IT'S PRETTY SAD THAT THIS HAS HAD A WORLDWIDE EFFECT ON PEOPLE AND NOW LOOK WHAT THERE SAYING ABOUT US...NOT TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE ANY ENEMIES BUT DO WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE ANYMORE?

    I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYTIME I TURN ON THE NEWS, I HEAR ABOUT THE BAILOUT, OR THIS CROOKED POLITICIAN...I COULD JUST PUKE! I THINK IF WE HAD NO GOVERNMENT, WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF!

    AND IT'S PRETTY DAMN NICE TO HAVE A JOB FOR 2 WEEKS ON WALLSTREET OR WHERE THE HELL EVER...AND THEN RESIGN...AND LEAVE WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS...WOULDN'T WE ALL LIKE TO HAVE A STAB AT THAT?

    DID ANYONE SEE THE WOMAN ON TV THAT WAS HAVING HER HOUSE AUCTIONED OFF AND ANOTHER WOMAN BOUGHT IT AND GAVE IT BACK TO HER? YOU TALK ABOUT LOVE AND KINDNESS...WE ALL NEED TO HAVE A LOT MORE HEART AND STICK TOGETHER AND HELP OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS..THIS IS THE TIME TO BECOME UNITED AND STAND TOGETHER....NOT FIGHT, BICKER ABOUT RACIAL B.S., WE NEED TO GET BEYOND THAT.

    ANOTHER THING...BEFORE I FORGET, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT DON'T WE VOTE THOSE BASTARD* IN THAT WE CALL GOVERNMENT THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO STAND UP FOR WHAT WE WANT AND WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE? INSTEAD OF SITTING IN THERE NICE, CUSHY CHAIR RAKING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR POSITION, I THINK THAT'S WHAT PART OF THE PROBLEM IS...A LOT OF THEM HAVE BEEN THERE FOR SO MANY YEARS AND THERE ALSO MAKING UP LAWS THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT....AND THE LAWS THEY DO MAKE UP, USUALLY ARE FOR THERE GAIN. YES, I AM FED UP!

    I WROTE MY CONGRESSMAN, WHAT DIFFERENCE DID IT REALLY MAKE, SO HE WROTE ME BACK A 4 PAGE LETTER...AND YA KNOW DAMN WELL...HIS SECRETARY DID A LOT OF THE MINDWORK ON THAT. I'VE ALSO BEEN WRITING IN TO CNN, GLENN BECK, AND LOU DOBBS, DOES ANYONE REALLY LISTEN? NO THEY DON'T! DO THEY CARE? NO!

    ONE THING I DO BELIEVE, AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT, I BELIEVE HE WILL BE FAIR AND TRY TO GET US OUT OF THIS RUT THAT BUSH LEFT US IN THE LAST 8 YRS.

    I KNOW WERE ALL SUFFERING RIGHT NOW...AND YOUR NOT ALONE! I'M RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU.

    GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE AUTOMAKERS AND THEY ONLY HAVE..ROUGHLY 3 MONTHS TO GET THEIR ACTS TOGETHER...WHICH TO ME, IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO DO. THEY SURE CAN BE PRETTY STINGY WITH THAT MONEY ON WHO GETS IT...BUT I DID SEE SOME OF THE RIDICULOUS PLACES WHERE THE MONEY WAS GOING...AND THAT'S JUST PURE B.S. I THINK THEY ALL MAY TALK A GOOD TALK AT TIMES, BUT YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM!

    WELL GRANNY, I AM SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG, I'VE BEEN PISSED FOR A LONG TIME MY FRIEND, AND I COULD STILL GO ON ABOUT THIS...MAYBE I SHOULD START A BLOG BESIDES MY OTHERS ON YAHOO 360 AND MAKE SOME MONEY..WHO KNOWS...LOL

    GOD BLESS TO EVERYONE

    I'M SORRY I HAD TO COME BACK AND ADD THIS PIECE THAT I BELIEVE...NOT EVERYONE'S BELIEF...BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU......

    DID ANYONE SEE THE ACTUAL PEOPLE TALKING WHEN SEVERAL, AND I MEAN MORE THAN 1, MORE THAN 2,.....MANYYYYY, IN A PROGRAM THAT YOU VERY RARELY SEEN...ABOUT THEM HEARING SEPERATE EXPLOSIONS? THERE WERE PROFESSIONAL DEMOLITIONISTS THAT CALLED THEM "SQUIBS" BLOWING UP ON THE DIFFERENT FLOORS OF THE TWIN TOWERS (MEANING, THERE WERE BOMBS OR SOME SORT OF EXPLOSIVES PURPOSELY PUT THERE TO IGNITE WHEN THEY PUSHED THE BUTTON..SO TO SAY). THERE WERE MORE THAN JUST THE TWIN TOWERS GOING DOWN THAT DAY...THERE WERE ALSO GOVERNMENT OFFICES OF SOME SORT...WHICH I BELIEVE THEY WERE TRYING TO COVER-UP SOMETHING...OBVIOUSLY NEVER TO BE REVEALED AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT WAS TO CREATE A CHAOTIC MESS AS THEY DID ON 9/11. SO I SAY TO YOU....MY BELIEF IS, OUR OWN GOVERNMENT SET THE BUILDINGS TO GO OFF, NOT IRAQ OR ANY OTHER ENEMIES. DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN, AND BIN LADEN WERE FLOWN HERE TO SEE THE PRESIDENT? A LOT OF STUFF GOT LEAKED OUT THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GET LEAKED OUT AND THAT'S WHY BUSH WAS PISSED!!! IF WE WANTED THEM DEAD SO BAD, WE HAD THEM HERE....WE COULD HAD DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT THEN BUT WE DIDN'T...BUT LEAVE IT UP TO OUR PUSSIFIED PRESIDENT NOT TO DO A DAMN THING BUT TO COVER UP MORE AND MORE STUFF. THERE IS SO MUCH CROOKEDNESS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON...IT WOULD MAKE GEORGE WASHINGTON ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE TO SEE HOW THEY ARE DOING/RUNNING OUR COUNTRY TODAY. AND EVERYONE ALWAYS TRYS TO GET AROUND THE CONSTITUTION....THEY WANT TO MAKE THE LAWS TO FIT THEM AND ONLY THEM! WE KNOW A LOT MORE THAN WHAT THEY TELL US, WE WOULD PROBABLY DROP OVER FROM A CORONARY IF WE REALLY KNEW ALL OF THE CROOKED AND UNDERHANDEDNESS GOING IN WASHINGTON TODAY.

    I DON'T THINK THAT WERE LETTING OUR GUARD DOWN AT ALL...WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE OUR EYES OPEN. BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT WE WILL LISTEN OR ACT ON SOMETHING IF WE DO KNOW ABOUT IT IN ADVANCE. HOPEFULLY, OUR NEW PRESIDENT WILL GET THINGS UNDER CONTROL AND HELP FIX THIS FINE MESS THAT BUSH LEFT US. I HAVE FAITH IN OUR NEW PRESIDENT...I REALLY THINK HE WILL DO A GOOD JOB IN OFFICE.

    I HOPE SOMEONE AT LEAST HAS TIME TO OPEN YOUR LETTER AND READ IT. THE PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION....VERY NICE GRANNY!

    P.S. YES, I BELIEVE THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN AND OSAMA BIN LADEN ARE VERY BAD INDEED....BUT I'M NOT CONVINCED THEY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 LIKE EVERYONE WANTS US TO BELIEVE. WE MAY HAVE HAD THREATS BUT I'M NOT TOTALLY CONVINCED THAT THEY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT THE TWIN TOWERS AND MANY OTHER BUILDINGS WERE TOLD TO SHUT DOWN FOR A WEEK OR TWO....BUT THERE WAS NO REASON GIVEN FOR THAT. SO WHAT DID THEY DO? HMMM, DID THEY GO IN THERE AND PLANT EXPLOSIONS LIKE SO MANY OTHERS BELIEVE....AS I DO? I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE THAT CALL FOR YOURSELF....WE ALL BELIEVE IN SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT TIMES.

    HAVE A GOOD ONE GRANNY...THANKS A BUNCH!!!

    Politicians like to exploit the race issue to attract the votes they're aiming for. The fact is, although minorities are disproportionately poorer as a whole, the sheer number of white Americans who are poor is the largest percentage of poor people in America overall. Many people will support a politician of the same racial or ethnic group even if his views on economic issues are exactly opposite of their own interests. That's how you get a guy like Rick Perry doing really well among blue-collar whites in the South for instance. EDIT: I'm also a middle-class white guy, mostly Italian with some Irish/German, and I support candidates whose views are more in line with my own, regardless of race or ethnicity. For example, I'd vote for Barack Obama or perhaps Ron Paul any day over fellow white Italian-American Rick Santorum, an extremist neo-con type whose views I find far out of touch with my own.

    The ones we know of disgust me, it's ones we don't hear about that scare the bejeezes out of me. When living in Northern Virginia, I did mechanical work for the Pentagon and other military bases around Washington DC area (some with no name or address) in the 70-90's. Until that time I had little idea what the phrase President Washington, Eisenhower to Carter and beyond, meant by the "military and industrial complex". If you get access to the portion of the Pentagon not shown to vacationing tourists you will notice more advisers in three piece suits (worth more than my pick-up) being dropped off and picked in limo's, outnumbering the military uniforms. And what do they advise ? WAR, How to start them, fight them and sustain them to make billions of dollars. NO WAR NO MONEY!!!!

    Heya! Well, i have been wondering how it is that the CEO's of all these Banks, and Car Companies are able to keep their houses, cars, and bank accounts. Most of them are sitting on near billions of dollars. The Government should be smart enough to seize assets and put that towards the Defecit. But, we live in a country where the rich pay less and the poor pay more. They scam us out of money on car loans and housing loans. The government see's it and notices it, and decides to use our tax money to bail out their companies when they have enough in personal accounts to cover ALL the costs and losses. But we have to pay it for them? Fun living in a crooked thieving country eh?

    look where obama came from. the scandals from chicago fill the newspapers daily and you expect him to change when he's elected to office of the president. he got elected because he is a smooth talking used car salesman and was able to whip a single race into a frenzy! god have mercy on us the next 4 years

    We had our chance for "change" but our candidate didn't win.
