Perspective

I'm really rather tired of situational ethics, double standards, and lop-sided perspectives, but I live in America and it's an election year, so I'm sure I am going to get much more tired of it, long before it stops!
The latest Pundit commentary on the housing market is just deplorable. All I'm hearing is how good it is that housing prices have gone down. Funny, the six years previous, we heard how good the economy was based upon the value of "the market." Which is it? I'm quite sure the people that have gotten trapped into a mortgage coming due and taking a loss on their home don't share the pundits' enthusiasm for the reduction in real estate prices. Besides, with the government bailing out the lenders and investment banking, mortgages and loans just aren't as easy to come by. It would seem this is going to open a whole new door for rental property, and ultimately the "working class" will not be home owners. This may possibly be the transition in our society to become more Orwellian like provided housing for those working in a service economy.
I really wish Hillary hadn't put her foot in her mouth so many times already. Because I would truly like her to be heard regarding Obama's pastor. I think that man is a hate-monger and he's scary. I've wondered since I did a bit of research about him, just what the deal is. Why did Obama stay in a church in which he fundamentally disagreed with the Pastor? Staying because the guy officiated at his wedding and baptized his kids doesn't really sound like the reasoning of a man about change. Obviously, if Obama is all about change, it's going to be our valued traditions that get shaken, not his.
Obama is really getting transparent, now. He's going to play dirty politics without owning up to it. He's going to put Hillary on the defensive, sidetrack the campaigns, and all as a victim of her having started it. The longer he speaks, the less I want to hear what he has to say. As to Hillary's memory . . . She needs to keep it straight and not use political terms like misspoke. The rest of us call her recent version of the event in Bosnia, a lie.
John McCain staying out of the fray. So far, he seems to be the man with a plan. If nothing else, he's not involved in the mudslinging and he's certainly not chancing being misquoted or misspoken. All things considered, he's looking the sharpest this week!
