But that gets into the larger scope of what I see in the society as a

lady on election night who said since Obama was elected she'd never have
to pay her mortgage or buy gas for her car again.  Ridiculous, yes..  But
I bet she wasn't the only one who felt since Obama won he/she was going
to get a bonanza of freebies.  And since  politicians know promising
stuff like that gets them rel-elected so they can keep their power
they'll continue to do it.
The 'Entitlement Syndrome' as I would say. But it's not just Obama-I'd
like you to find me any major politician in the last 40 years who's
encouraged self sufficiency.
If I really worked at it and was lucky I -might- be able to find a
handful...maybe.  And since we can't stop the flow of politicians
promising entitlements maybe if we start threatening their jobs they
might get the message.  I think that's the point of the health care
protests.  A variation of Howard Beale/Peter Finch in "Network"

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!!"

right.. and it's just a pure coincidence that it started on Obama's
term and most of the complainers voted for Bush and McCain?

ha ha ha... nice try fella.. but you know you're wrong.. admit it.

Wrong.  Go back.  You'll find I complained about Bush's spending, too..

Nice try fella, but you lose again.  Admit it.

I don't recall this.. in fact.. I remember you defending Bush's
policies, no?
