Something to Think About...

I just read this statistic on Yahoo News: "FORTY PERCENT OF AMERICANS HAVE NEVER LIVED WHEN THERE WASN'T A BUSH OR A CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE."

The article goes on to say: "And now, if Hillary Clinton were to be elected and re-elected, the nation could go 28 years in a row with the same two families governing the country. Add the elder Bush's terms as vice president, and that would be 36 years straight with a Bush or Clinton in the White House. Already, for 116 million Americans, there has never been a time when there wasn't a Bush or Clinton in the White House, either as president or vice president. Does a nation of 303 million people really have only two families qualified to run the show?"

Hmmm..... so what do you think?

As much as I love 'W', I must say that we need some different families to step up. ESPECIALLY to keep Billary from getting in again!!

What a great post and what a great comment!!

YES, we need some change. We many people can be run by more than 2 families.

Thanks for bringing realizations into the blog.

That could be a good campaign strategy for a republican candidate. LOL

There are a lot of people talking about this. We are a nation that has term limits built into our pshycological make-up. Our first President 'self-imposed' his own term limit.

We do the same in almost all areas of our life. Even our Church organization recently thought it was best to set term limits- and I agree!

Anything that sits too long without being stirred up goes bad. That goes for just about everything. My personal motto- stir somethin' up! lol

Change! We need change. If Hillary gets it, I will have to pull my kids from public school. I refuse to let my 5 year old be taught about homosexual lifestyle. She needs to learn to read and write and leave lifestyles to be taught at home.
