Weary

I was watching Fox News tonight, and they were airing the President's speech to the Phoenix Organization...an organization that honors the achievements of black americans. I watched for awhile. It's an achievement for anyone to become president of this great country...and I agree...it's especially historic for a black american to become president. But...it didn't take long before the blame game began. Every problem in this country is President Bush's fault. Yes...he didn't do a lot of things well...but Obama's been president long enough to make mistakes (he's human) and to own those mistakes. and just like Bush, he won't do it. I am so sick of the whole lot of them. I think they really believe that we believe everything that comes out of their mouth. They are all so self-aggrandizing I just can't stand it. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so serious! (Washington and Hollywood...they really think we hold them in high esteem...ha!) The old saying is certainly true: "how do you know when a politician is lying?".....His/her lips are moving.

And speaking of Hollywood...I sat down last Sunday night to watch the Emmy's...and the only reason I did so was become Mia Michaels (i thought) was nominated for an emmy for choreography (i never did see that award mentioned so i don't know what the deal was) but i have to say that it was a complete waste of my time. Oh how they love themselves. Where are the awards shows for people who REALLY achieve something and make a difference in this country? I vow from this day forward I will never watch the Grammys, the Oscars, or the Emmys again. Give me a show that honors volunteers, firemen, police officers, teachers, and other public servants and I'll watch. The people in Hollywood can all go over to Sean Penn's house (or Charley Sheen's) and talk about how great they are. I'm fairly certain that most people really don't care...about their awards or their political opinions.
