A photo from Times Square I shot this last weekend.
I am so sick and tired of our elected representatives screwing us in Washington DC. We elect them to represent us and all they do is cover their asses so they can come back to their districts and tell their people what a good job they are doing for us little people back here in NW Ohio - Bull$#!%. The old Isley Brothers song, Smiling Faces (Hear the song here) & (Read the Lyrics here).
Don't get me wrong, there have been a few politicians through the history of the U.S. who have been good for their voters. I, as a journalist in the past have photographed every President since Reagan, I have photographed local and national races, sometime they are civil and sometimes bloody. One day the candidate can be nice, and the next they can be a bastard. Who knows which candidate will show up after election day.
I listen to the debates and just want to spit at the screen when I listen to the venom spewed from the mouths of the Democrats and the Republicans alike, it just makes me sick. What has happened to society? I have several friends who are heavily into politics, and are politicians themselves. The only thing I ask is that they do their best for me, my wife Mary and son Noah.
I have an idea, lets take this $750 TRILLON dollars that is proposed in this bailout, soon to be $850 TRILLION, after everyone in Washington gets their fingers in the pie, it will grow and grow. OK, so lets take this $850 TRILLION dollars and split it between the lets say 200 million adults in the U.S. and GIVE IT TO US. Not to the fat cats on Wall Street; they have already showed how they can handle money! Give it to us. If the government did that the flood of money into our economy would be so swift and sudden, Wall Street would not know what to do with all the cash. Please lets get this over with one way or the other. Washington, I watch my retirement fund go down daily and don't want to see it swirling around the drain to disappear totally. Act like adults in your hallowed halls and reach across the aisle and get something done. Get something done like we hired you to do with our sacred votes - NOW GET TO WORK FOR US - NOT FOR YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!
