It's a bird! It's a plane! No...it's Super-Obama to the rescue!

Hallelujah! Our economy is saved. We are on the road to recovery according to our illustrious and all-powerful president. The story released today by completely unbiased (cough, cough) msnbc.com quotes the president that our nation is well on its way to economic recovery. The president says, "that the economy had stabilized and was beginning a slow recovery, telling NBC News in an exclusive interview that it was now his job to 'make sure that ordinary people have some relief.'"

I am so thankful to have been told that we're all okay by the president. From everything I have seen we were still in a deep rut of recession, and by all normal logic spending more money that the nation doesn't have or plan to make anytime soon sends us directly into a depression. But, the president has spoken, and as it has been spoken so shall it be done. (Insert your own magical noise here - suggestions include the tinkling when Samantha twitches her nose, or the Alacazam! by the Genie.)

I'm just saddened that my children don't have any voice in the matter and their futures are being flushed down the drain by the "leadership" of this country. We have talked for so many years about individuals starting out in a disadvantaged situation, and now every child is equal...that is to say that every single American will start out disadvantaged and have to fight their way up just to get to even footing. That just makes my job a little harder, to set up a good enough life for them before the country changes too much and it's no longer possible, and to fight all along the way for myself and for them to prevent those changes from happening. I'm just thankful that we can all do this together.
