Mayor Bloomberg of New York spent $100,000,000 to get reelected to a third term which he lobbied the council to even allow from the traditional two terms. It was said that it worked out to $170 a vote, that's a pretty price to pay for a vote. What makes me wonder is why some guy would pay a $100,000,000 for a job that it would appear would no way return anything close to that. It really makes me wonder what is going on? It makes me think there is something funny -----something we don't know about. Who knows?
If you know please let me know.
Then Candy Crowley talked about Obama and his campaign promises versus his accomplishments as we get ready to reach the one year mark. The consensus so far is that he has not lived up to any of his promises from televising the health care reform, to having lobbyists on staff, to Gitmo closing, and on and on. Granted it's a little early, but people think he's spending his political capital at a rapid pace and not necessarily in what the public deems in their best interest. Time will tell---unfortunately it takes time whether the end result be good or bad.
My thought is let's just have a king and do away with these nutso elections. The politicians just tell you what you want to hear anyway and then they do what they want and don't care what it cost us. I am tired of the lies and I don't mean just the presidential boys and girls but all through the political system. Changing it a little bit will yield no benefits.
