There seems to be very little doubt that the president is moving to the right politically, especially regarding economic policy, because if he doesn't, he's finished and he knows it. It's also not very surprising. Because politicians as a rule have no hard and fast beliefs, they'll say and do anything they think will get them elected and keep them in office. But what's most surprising to me is how the hard core left objects to his changing horses in midstream.

I really don't know much about politics itself, nor really care about the subject either, but since so much of what politicians do affects us all so greatly, I do try to stay tuned in. And that's why the folks on the left really confuse me. Because for the last four years, and especially the last two, they've watched their beliefs turn the strongest nation ever built into a fast-deteriorating failure economically, and still want more to be done to insure it sinks even further.

So, what is is about those on the left, and socialists in general that makes them abhor success? Why do they feel its tantamount to crime to earn and keep the rewards of hard labor? Why do they want everyone to suffer equally, with no chance for anyone to rise above the rest, especially financially? And why are they blind to the fact that without capitalists to carry them, they'd all be dead or starving, because none of them are capable of supporting themselves?

What's even stranger to me is that those who the left support tend to talk a good game when campaigning, but also seem to be quite well off themselves. Because the top tier of the Democrat party is made up of very well-to-do-folks, as are much of their supporters, such as the Hollywood crowd, but that's okay with the rank and file. So, why don't the "masses" understand that, politically, they're being ripped off in spades and being buried in hogwash?

Fortunately for the rest of the country though, it looks like the worst is finally over. Because the president's only goal now is what it's really been from the start...reelection. And that means he can no longer go on pursuing policies and programs that clearly don't work. But, why is it that even he can see that, and that he clearly knows now how wrong those ideas have been, but those who urged him to pursue a course founded on failure want him to keep trying to do the country in, and why do they hate it so much?

That's it for today folks.
