Kiribati. Far away, in the South Pacific. Poor. Out of the way. No natural resources. Of course, as I have read, the island will be underwater if 40 years because of global warming.

Sure. You will be o.k....until the pendulum swings back, and a mean-old heartless Republican is once again voted into office.

I am going to do my best to approach the future of this country with optimism and hope. Obama and the Democrat Congress will have to earn my distrust and pessimism. Who knows? Maybe, the future is bright.

I think change is good for the most part. But, what I'm afraid of is thats all I'm going to have in my pockets after he gets done raising all the taxes.........*Coming to a bread line near you.

I'll give you a grand if your income taxes go up before things turn around.
(Now how am I going to earn that thousand....)

I agree with your picture. I'm trying to be optimistic. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Think of it this way. Many people are engaged in their government in a way they never were before. If just a small percentage of those people turn that energy into something productive that will help the nation, things are bound to get better. Right??
