Not Happy With These Changes: Changes By David Bowie

Man times are rough.  The recent developments that have caused my anxiety has now gotten worse.  It has gotten so bad that when I go home, I feel that a bomb will be dropped thus sinking my spirits again.  I don't know how long this will last but right it's a real pain and a change that I can do without.  That's the reason why I'm using the song "Changes" by David Bowie.

I know that a few years ago, I blogged about rolling with the changes.  It's not that I change my mind about that but sometimes changes(especially the bad ones) can just appear out of nowhere and really turn your world upside down.  It gets worse when they come at once that it can overpower you.  Your patience and your wits will be put to the test as you try resolve it.  One thing's for sure and that's going to be anything but easy.

As for the changes and bombs that are being dropped here, it's clear that something has to be done. Time's gold and we need to do something quick.  I just hope that we be able to resolve this before the holiday season.  I would not want to spend it with a lot of problems that would spill out to everyone. These are changes that I definitely can do without.

This Definitely Isn't America: This Is Not America By David Bowie

When Barack Obama won the 2008 elections, people hoped that change would come at last after a tumultuous eight years under the Bush Administration. Hopes bringing the war to an end as well as fixing the economy were high on the hopes of Americans when he was sworn into office. Everyone heaped praises for him being the first African-American President as his youth, eloquence and image captured the imagination of Americans and the world as a whole. These days it's a different story as more people are now dissatisfied with the Obama and his policies as it is counter to what Americans believe in. This recent 360 degree view of the current U.S. President reminded me of the song "This Is Not America" by David Bowie.

This is the soundtrack from the movie "The Falcon And The Snowman" about two Americans who sold secrets to the Russians. Even though I am politically right of center, I was willing to give the Obama a chance since the U.S. economy went down during the Bush Administration. Unfortunately, many of Obama's policies run counter to that of the American character which put to much emphasis on big government and his programs wold burdened already cash-strapped Americans who are having a hard time staying afloat. To sum it up, all of his policies are the ones that make people more dependent on government rather than encourage self-growth. To top it off, he keeps blaming Bush just to remind people this wasn't his mess.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the U.S. that I remember was a country where people chased their dreams; were proud of who they were and were fiercely independent. It's no wonder the Tea Party Movement is growing because these want that America back again. I guess we'll in the November elections and in 2012 if Obama will still remain in Office. The negative reaction to his polices is proof that people don't want that kind of America. I guess Obama and the progressives really underestimated the true nature of the American character.
